Rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus by using lysostaphin sensitivity.
Lysostaphin sensitivity was evaluated as a rapid screening test to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from other species of staphylococci and micrococci. A total of 168 strains of staphylococci, 108 of which were S. aureus, were cultured overnight in brain infusion broth. Gram stains were peformed before and after a 1:10 dilution of the culture was exposed to 2 micrograms of lysostaphin per ml...
متن کاملRapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus by using fluorescent staphylocoagulase assays.
Two rapid (1-h) assays for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus staphylocoagulase were developed by using the fluorogenic thrombin substrates N-t-boc-Val-Pro-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin (VPA) and N-t-boc-beta-benzyl-Asp-Pro-Arg-7-amido-4-methylocoumarin (BB). The assays were compared to the tube coagulase test and latex agglutination (LA) (Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur, Guildford, Surrey, Unite...
متن کاملDirect observation of Staphylococcus aureus cell wall digestion by lysostaphin.
The advent of Staphylococcus aureus strains that are resistant to virtually all antibiotics has increased the need for new antistaphylococcal agents. An example of such a potential therapeutic is lysostaphin, an enzyme that specifically cleaves the S. aureus peptidoglycan, thereby lysing the bacteria. Here we tracked over time the structural and physical dynamics of single S. aureus cells expos...
متن کاملRapid Detection of Vibrio Cholera by a Coagglutination Complex using Staphylococcus aureus Including Protein A
Introduction: Vibrio cholera is a gram-negative bacterium that causes cholera which is an acute diarrheal illness. Cholera outbreak mostly happens in hot seasons when the bacteria reproduce rapidly in water contaminated with feces. Severe diarrhea and mortality have been the prevalent symptoms of cholera which affect the hygienic status and economic features of humans during centuries. There is...
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...
