Scalp abscess due to Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. cacaoi, first report in a human infection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. cacaoi, a Gram-positive, branching filamentous bacteria, was isolated from a scalp infection in a patient from Pondicherry, India. Phenotypic tests identified the isolate as a Streptomyces species, but 16S rRNA sequence analysis provided the species identification required for tracking of this emerging pathogen.

Cloning and Amplified Expression in Streptomyces Iividans
A 19 kb SphI DNA fragment containing the gene for the extracellular active-site serine Q-lactamase of Streptomyces cacaoi KCC-SO352 was cloned in Streptomyces liuidans TK24 using the high-copy-number plasmid pIJ702 as vector. A 30-fold higher yield of P-lactamase was obtained from S. lividans strain ML1, carrying the recombinant plasmid pDML51, than from S. cacaoi grown under optimal production...
متن کاملpolR, a pathway-specific transcriptional regulatory gene, positively controls polyoxin biosynthesis in Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. asoensis.
The polyoxin (POL) biosynthetic gene cluster (pol) was recently cloned from Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. asoensis. A 3.3 kb DNA fragment carrying an obvious open reading frame (polR), whose deduced product shows sequence similarity to SanG of Streptomyces ansochromogenes and PimR of Streptomyces natalensis, was revealed within the pol gene cluster. Disruption of polR abolished POL production, whi...
متن کاملMechanisms of acquired penicillin-resistance in Streptomyces cacaoi. Role of penicillin-binding proteins in penicillin resistant mutants.
Several mutants isolated after N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of Streptomyces cacaoi strain KCCS-0352, were resistant to benzylpenicillin ranging in concentration from 1,000 to 5,000 micrograms/ml (4- to 20-fold more resistant than the parent). These mutants also acquired resistance to mecillinam, cephamycin C and methicillin. The affinity for beta-lactams of penicillin-bindin...
متن کاملThe active sites of the beta-lactamases of Streptomyces cacaoi and Streptomyces albus G.
The active-site serine of the extracellular beta-lactamases of Streptomyces cacaoi and Streptomyces albus G has been labelled with beta-iodopenicillanate. The determination of the sequence of the labelled peptides obtained after trypsin digestion of the denatured proteins indicate both enzymes to be class A beta-lactamases. Surprisingly the two Streptomyces enzymes do not appear to be especiall...
متن کاملInduction of beta-lactamase and penicillin-binding proteins in Escherichia coli by introduction of Streptomyces DNA.
Introduction of hybrid plasmids, which were constructed by ligation of pCR1 or pMN1 vector plasmid and SalI restriction endonuclease cleaved segments of Streptomyces cacaoi chromosome, resulted in the production of new beta-lactamase and penicillin-binding protein in Escherichia coli. The beta-lactamase and penicillin-binding protein were not from S. cacaoi but rather induced by the plasmids. C...
