Streptococcus pyogenes clinical isolates and lipoteichoic acid.
Minimally subcultured clinical isolates of virulent nephritogenic and nonnephritogenic Streptococcus pyogenes of the same serotype showed major differences in lipoteichoic acid (LTA) production, secretion, and structure. These were related to changes in coccal adherence to and destruction of growing human skin cell monolayers in vitro. A possible relationship between cellular LTA content and gr...
متن کاملInteraction of anti-kojibiose antibody with the lipoteichoic acids from Streptococcus faecalis and Streptococcus faecium.
Antisera prepared in rabbits by immunization with p-aminophenyl beta-kojibioside conjugated to bovine serum albumin (antikojibiose sera), readily agglutinated whole cells of Streptococcus faecalis or Streptococcus faecium, and showed specific reactions with the lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) of these streptococci by passive hemagglutination, microscale enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and crossed ...
متن کاملSodium Hypochlorite Inactivates Lipoteichoic Acid of Enterococcus faecalis by Deacylation.
INTRODUCTION Enterococcus faecalis is a pathogenic gram-positive bacterium closely associated with apical periodontitis. Although sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has been used as a common endodontic irrigant to eradicate bacteria in the root canal, it has not been elucidated whether NaOCl attenuates the inflammatory response induced by the E. faecalis virulence factor lipoteichoic acid (EfLTA). M...
متن کاملFormation of cross-reacting antibodies against cellular and extracellular lipoteichoic acid of Streptococcus mutans BHT.
Antisera prepared against strains of Streptococcus mutans, particularly strain BHT, contain antibodies to the membrane lipoteichoic acid component that will cross-react with lipoteichoic acids from three species of lactobacilli. A more detailed study of the antibodies to strain BHT confirmed that the antibodies are specific for the polyglycerol phosphate component common to the lipoteichoic aci...
متن کاملTotal synthesis of lipoteichoic acid of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most common Grampositive pathogens. Upon colonizing the upper respiratory tract it causes severe infections and it causes life-threatening diseases like pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis when it reaches the lower respiratory tract or the bloodstream,l1J thereby resulting in a high mortality rate,!2·3J As for all Gram-positive bacteria, the cell wall of...
