Nuclease production and lysostaphin susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and other catalase-positive cocci.
Some strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Micrococcus sp. produce nucleases. However, thermal stability was shown to be unique to the nucleases of S. aureus. In addition, two micromethods for susceptibility testing to lysostaphin were more precise and convenient than anaerobic glucose fermentation in distinguishing between the genera Staphylococcus and Micrococcus.
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Production in Catalase-Positive Gram-Positive Cocci Isolated from Brazilian Pasteurized Milk
Background: Milk is a reservoir for several groups of microorganisms, which may pose health risks. The aim of this work was to assess the antibiotic resistance and biofilm production in catalase-positive Gram-positive cocci isolated from Brazilian pasteurized milk. Methods: The bacteria were isolated using Baird-Parker agar and identified by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time-Of-...
متن کاملSusceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to lysostaphin.
One hundred and eleven isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus recovered from patients at the Olin E. Teague Veterans Center from March 1983 to April 1987 were as susceptible to lysis by lysostaphin as methicillin-susceptible S. aureus controls were.
متن کاملLysostaphin-induced, osmotically fragile Staphylococcus aureus cells.
Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209P cells when suspended in 24% (w/v) NaCl were rendered osmotically fragile by exposure to lysostaphin for time intervals ranging from 2 to 60 min. Such cells were analyzed chemically and serologically for evidence of residual cell wall material, were plated in hypertonic sucrose medium to determine revertibility to normal, and were subjected to manometric studies to...
متن کاملComparative in Vitro Activities of Lysostaphin and Other Antistaphylococcal Antibiotics on Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus Aureus.
The in vitro activity of lysostaphin against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus was determined by conventional tube-dilution methods. For comparison, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were also determined for penicillin G, ampicillin, methicillin, ristocetin, vancomycin, and erythromycin. Phage type and penicillinase and coagulase production were determined for each isolate....
