Cytotoxin production in phytopathogenic and entomopathogenic Serratia marcescens.
In this work, culture filtrates of entomopathogenic and phytopathogenic Serratia marcescens strains induced cytotoxic effects on CHO, Vero and HEp-2 cell lines. Morphological changes on sensitive cells were characterized by cell rounding and detachment as soon as 30 min of incubation, culminating in cell death after 24 h. The cytotoxic effect was completely neutralized by specific antiserum ind...
متن کاملNutritional aspects of cytotoxin production by Clostridium difficile.
Arginine was the only amino acid used by Clostridium difficile that permitted cytotoxin synthesis in a peptone-based medium. Synthesis of cytotoxin was delayed when glucose was used as the substrate. Addition of rifampin or puromycin to cultures prior to release of cytotoxin inhibited the release of cytotoxin, suggesting that a protein essential for cytotoxin release is synthesized after cytoto...
متن کاملCulture conditions affect cytotoxin production by Serratia marcescens.
Cytotoxins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. In this study, the influence of different culture conditions was evaluated on cytotoxin production of Serratia marcescens. Parameters such as culture media, incubation temperature, starting pH of culture medium, aeration, anaerobiosis, carbon sources, iron concentration in he culture media, and release of cell-bond tox...
متن کاملLack of Shiga-like cytotoxin production by enteroinvasive Escherichia coli.
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli has not been extensively studied for cytotoxin production. We evaluated 30 well-characterized enteroinvasive E. coli strains of all the known invasive serogroups from several geographic regions for their ability to produce Shiga-like cytotoxic activity assayed in a HeLa cell system. None of these strains produced cytotoxic activity that was neutralizable with ant...
متن کاملVacuolating Cytotoxin of Helicobacter pylori
Vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) is one of the most important virulence factors of H. pylori (Hp), which isthe only toxic protein that is secreted from Hp cell into the culture supernatant. The effects of VacA oneukaryotic systems is the subject of many previous and on going research studies. Intracellular targetsfor this toxin include: late endosomal and lysosomal compartments, m...
