Carbohydrate Composition of Endotoxins from R-type Isogenic Mutants of Shigella sonnei Studied by Capillary Electrophoresis and GC-MS

چکیده
The carbohydrate composition of the rough-type endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides, LPSs) from Shigella sonnei mutant strains (Shigella sonnei phase II 4303, 562H, R41 and 4350) was investigated by capillary electrophoresis and GC-MS. The monosaccharides obtained by hydrolysis were determined by capillary electrophoresis combined with laser induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) after labeling with 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS) and by GC-MS as alditol-acetate derivatives. It was obtained that the lipopolysaccharides of the isogenic rough mutants are formed in a step-like manner, containing no heptose (4350), one D-glycero-D-mannoheptose (562H ), or two or three L-glycero-Dmannoheptoses (R41, 4303, respectively) in the deep core region. Besides the heptoses, the longest LPS from the mutant Shigella sonnei 4303 contains hexoses, such as glucoses and galactoses, in a proportion of approximately 3:2. This study provides a comprehensive comparison of the variability in the carbohydrate part of the rough endotoxins extracted from Shigella sonnei isogenic mutants. (doi: 10.5562/cca1795)

متن کاملCongo red binding and salt aggregation as indicators of virulence in Shigella species.
Smooth strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei which form pigmented colonies (Pcr+) on Congo red agar were virulent in the Sereny test. Smooth variants unable to bind Congo red (Pcr-) were avirulent. Measurements of dye uptake from solution showed that S. dysenteriae type 1 bound the most dye, followed in order of uptake by S. flexneri, S....

متن کاملCharacterization of Shigella sonnei in Malaysia, an increasingly prevalent etiologic agent of local shigellosis cases
BACKGROUND Shigellosis is a major public health concern worldwide, especially in developing countries. It is an acute intestinal infection caused by bacteria of the genus Shigella, with a minimum infective dose as low as 10-100 bacterial cells. Increasing prevalence of Shigella sonnei as the etiologic agent of shigellosis in Malaysia has been reported. As there is limited information on the gen...

In 2010, we observed isolates with matching pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns from 13 cases of ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigella sonnei in Montréal. We report on the emergence of this resistance type and a study of resistance mechanisms. The investigation suggested local transmission among men who have sex with men associated with sex venues.
