Impaired plasma clottability induction through fibrinogen degradation by ASP, a serine protease released from Aeromonas sobria
Aeromonas sobria infection often advances to sepsis, in which interaction of bacterial components with plasma proteins possibly causes various disorders. This bacterium releases a serine protease (ASP), a putative virulence factor, and binds to fibrinogen. To study the ASP effect on fibrinogen, we incubated fibrinogen or plasma with ASP and investigated their clotting elicited by thrombin, whic...
متن کاملToxin production by Aeromonas sobria in natural environments: river water vs. seawater.
Aeromonas are water-borne pathogens. They are halotolerant, which means that they can survive in environments whose salt content corresponds to that of seawater (3.0% NaCl). However, the presence of Aeromonas in seawater is extremely rare compared with that in river water. In this study, we tested the ability of Aeromonas sobria to produce toxins in river water and seawater. First, we cultured ...
متن کاملInvolvement of the Arg566 residue of Aeromonas sobria serine protease in substrate specificity
Aeromonas sobria serine protease (ASP) is an extracellular serine protease secreted by the organism. Here, we identified the amino acid residue of ASP that contributes to substrate specificity by using both synthetic peptides and biological protein components. The results showed that the arginine residue at position 566 (Arg-566) of ASP, which is located in the extra occluding region of ASP clo...
متن کاملProperties of Hemolysin and Protease Produced by Aeromonas trota
We examined the properties of exotoxins produced by Aeromonas trota (A. enteropelogenes), one of the diarrheagenic species of Aeromonadaceae. Nine of 19 A. trota isolates that grew on solid media containing erythrocytes showed hemolytic activity. However, the hemolytic activities of the culture supernatants of these hemolytic strains of A. trota were markedly lower than those of A. sobria when ...
متن کاملIncidence and virulence characteristics of Aeromonas spp. in fish
AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the presence of Aeromonas spp. in raw and ready-to-eat (RTE) fish commonly consumed in Assiut city, Egypt, and to determine virulence factors due to they play a key role in their pathogenicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 125 samples of raw and RTE fish samples were taken from different fish markets and fish restaurants in Assiut Governorate and s...
