Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis
Methicillin was introduced in 1959 to treat penicillin-resistant S. aureus infection, however Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was reported 2 years later (1). The most common organism identified in acute infective endocarditis (AIE) is still S. aureus associated with increased hospital mortality, morbidity and hospitalization. In Germany the proportion of MRSA among S. aureus microbiologi...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus has clustered tRNA genes.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect large tRNA gene clusters in Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus badius, Bacillus megaterium, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus casei, and Staphylococcus aureus. The primers were based on conserved sequences of known gram-positive bacterial tRNA(Arg) and tRNA(Phe) genes. This PCR procedure detected an unusually large tRNA gene cluster in S. aureus...
متن کاملManagement of Staphylococcus aureus-infected atopic eczema
This disrupts the vital functions of the skin, which include: Acting as a physical barrier for the body against mechanical and thermal injury, and hazardous substances Helping to regulate the loss of moisture Offering a degree of protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation Providing sensory and autonomic functions, i.e. touch Regulating body temperature Acting ...
متن کاملOligopeptide Targeting Sortase A as Potential Anti-infective Therapy for Staphylococcus aureus
Sortase A (SrtA)-catalyzed anchorage of surface proteins in most Gram-positive bacteria is indispensable for their virulence, suggesting that this transpeptidase is a promising target for antivirulence therapy. Here, an oligopeptide, LPRDA, was identified as an effective inhibitor of SrtA via virtual screening based on the LPXTG substrate sequence, and it was found to inhibit SrtA activity in v...
متن کاملPotassium Uptake Modulates Staphylococcus aureus Metabolism
As a leading cause of community-associated and nosocomial infections, Staphylococcus aureus requires sophisticated mechanisms that function to maintain cellular homeostasis in response to its exposure to changing environmental conditions. The adaptation to stress and maintenance of homeostasis depend largely on membrane activity, including supporting electrochemical gradients and synthesis of A...
