Microtitration of Bacillus cereus hemolysin.
A microtiter procedure for the quantitation of Bacillus cereus hemolysin is described.
متن کاملDetection of Hemolysin BL Gene of Bacillus cereus Isolates
Hemolysin BL (HBL) is the multi-component enterotoxin causing diarrheal type of Bacillus cereus food poisoning. The hbl operon of B. cereus was divided into 4 coding sequences (CDS) and identified as hblC, hblD, hblA and hblB genes consisting of 1,319, 1,221, 1,128 and 1,401 nucleotides encoding proteins of 439, 406, 375 and 466 amino acids with predicted sizes of 49.3, 43.8, 41.7 and 52.3 kDa,...
متن کاملProperties of Bacillus cereus hemolysin II: a heptameric transmembrane pore.
The gene encoding hemolysin II (HlyII) was amplified from Bacillus cereus genomic DNA and a truncated mutant, HlyII(DeltaCT), was constructed lacking the 94 amino acid extension at the C terminus. The proteins were produced in an E. coli cell-free in vitro transcription and translation system, and were shown to assemble into SDS-stable oligomers on rabbit erythrocyte membranes and liposomes. Th...
متن کاملSwarming behavior of and hemolysin BL secretion by Bacillus cereus.
An association between swarming and hemolysin BL secretion was observed in a collection of 42 Bacillus cereus isolates (P=0.029). The highest levels of toxin were detected in swarmers along with swarm cell differentiation (P=0.021), suggesting that swarming B. cereus strains may have a higher virulence potential than nonswarming strains.
متن کاملEnterotoxic activity of hemolysin BL from Bacillus cereus.
Bacillus cereus causes exotoxin-mediated diarrheal food poisoning. Hemolysin BL (HBL) is a well-characterized B. cereus toxin composed of three components (B, L1, and L2) that together possess hemolytic, cytotoxic, dermonecrotic, and vascular permeability activities. Here, we show that HBL causes fluid accumulation in ligated rabbit ileal loops at a dose of 5 micrograms of each component per lo...
