Recent trends on the molecular biology of pneumococcal capsules, lytic enzymes, and bacteriophage.
Streptococcus pneumoniae has re-emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world and its continuous increase in antimicrobial resistance is rapidly becoming a leading cause of concern for public health. This review is focussed on the analysis of recent insights on the study of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis, and cell wall (murein) hydrolases, two fundamental pneumo...
متن کاملGene cloning and expression and secretion of Listeria monocytogenes bacteriophage-lytic enzymes in Lactococcus lactis.
Bacteriophage lysins (Ply), or endolysins, are phage-encoded cell wall lytic enzymes which are synthesized late during virus multiplication and mediate the release of progeny virions. Bacteriophages of the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes encode endolysin enzymes which specifically hydrolyze the cross-linking peptide bridges in Listeria peptidoglycan. Ply118 is a 30.8-kDa L-alanoyl-D-glutamate p...
متن کاملBacteriophage-encoded lytic enzymes control growth of contaminating Lactobacillus found in fuel ethanol fermentations
BACKGROUND Reduced yields of ethanol due to bacterial contamination in fermentation cultures weaken the economics of biofuel production. Lactic acid bacteria are considered the most problematic, and surveys of commercial fuel ethanol facilities have found that species of Lactobacillus are predominant. Bacteriophage lytic enzymes are peptidoglycan hydrolases that can degrade the Gram positive ce...
متن کاملISOLATION OF LYTIC BACTERIOPHAGE AB72P AGAINST MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII ISOLATES OBTAINED FROM BURN INFECTION
Background & Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative pathogen that causes a wide range of hospital-acquired infections. Due to its intrinsic traits and its remarkable abilities to quickly acquire resistance genes, it has become resistant to most antimicrobial agents and a major problem for hospitals. In recent years, application of lytic bacteriophages has been considered to eradicate ...
متن کاملCSAW 2008 Team Report
Hardware Trojans are an increasingly significant threat to the integrated circuit (IC) industry in both commercial and military fields due to the progress of globalization and the rapidly improving IC manufacturing technology in various countries. Because of global economic pressures, the development and fabrication of advanced ICs are often outsourced offshore in order to reduce cost. As a res...
