Effects of fatty acids on growth of Bordetella pertussis in defined medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on the growth of Bordetella pertussis strain 114 in defined medium were tested. Individual fatty acids were found to be either inhibitory or stimulatory to growth, depending on concentration. Myristic (C14), pentadecanoic (C15), and palmitic (C16) acids were the most inhibitory saturated fatty acids tested. B. pertussis 114 was extremely sensitive to the unsaturated fatty acids oleic (C18; cis-9), elaidic (C18; trans-9) and petroselinic (C18; cis-6).

It has been claimed that citrate synthase, aconitase and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities are non-functional in Bordetella pertussis and that this might explain why this bacterium's growth is sometimes associated with accumulation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and/or free fatty acids. However, the sequenced genome includes the entire citric acid pathway genes. Furthermore, these genes were ex...

Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract, which is caused by Bordetella pertussis. Reemerge of pertussis in some highly immunized populations and divergency in gene order among several B. pertussis strains promoted this research to study the change of pertussis toxin (PT) and lipopolysacharide levels in response to the different environments. Th...

Objective(s): After decades of containment, pertussis disease, caused by Bordetella pertussis seems to be re-emerging and still remains a major cause of reported vaccine-preventable deaths worldwide. The current licensed whole-cell vaccines display reactogenicity while acellular vaccines are expensive and do not induce Th1-type immune responses that are required for optimum protection against t...

A purification procedure of pertussis toxin (PT) from submerged culture of Bordetella pertussis (B.pertussis) strain 134 using adsorption and affinity chromatography was discussed. The yield of the resulting PT was approximately 37.5mg/l of concentrated culture supernatant. The polypeptide pattern of the purified PT was investigated by SDS-PAGE and showed five bands between 11 to 26 KDa using l...
