Binding of protegrin-1 to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia infections of cystic fibrosis patients' lungs are often resistant to conventional antibiotic therapy. Protegrins are antimicrobial peptides with potent activity against many bacteria, including P. aeruginosa. The present study evaluates the correlation between protegrin-1 (PG-1) sensitivity/resistance and protegrin binding in P. aerugin...
متن کاملInterspecies biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia.
The leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) continues to be lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Co-colonization of the lungs with P aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia can result in more severe pulmonary disease than P. aeruginosa alone. The interactions between P. aeruginosa biofilms and B. cepacia are not yet understood; one possible association bein...
متن کاملStructure of the O9 antigen from Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia.
The O9 antigen of Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia has the following disaccharide repeating-unit: -->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1--> The same unit is present in the O antigens of Serratia marcescens strain S1254 and serogroup O4 (predominantly acetylated at O-2 of rhamnose in the latter case).
متن کاملCharacterization of PCR-ribotyping for Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia.
Ribotyping, a method of genotyping bacterial isolates for epidemiologic study, uses rRNA as a probe to detect chromosomal restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Although ribotyping is accurate, its utility is limited by the labor and time necessary for Southern blot analysis. PCR-ribotyping uses PCR to amplify the 16S-23S intergenic spacer region of the bacterial rRNA operon. Length heterog...
متن کاملDevelopment of a PCR probe test for identifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas (Burkholderia) cepacia.
AIMS To develop a system of species specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA hybridisation based on 16s ribosomal RNA sequences for the identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas (Burkholderia) cepacia in sputum from children with cystic fibrosis. METHODS Most of the 16s rRNA sequences from strains of Ps aeruginosa, Ps (Burkholderia) cepacia, and Ps putida were determine...
