New insights into the Enterococcus faecalis CroRS two-component system obtained using a differential-display random arbitrarily primed PCR approach.

چکیده
Using a modified random arbitrarily primed PCR approach, the operon encoding the Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 CroRS two-component regulatory system was shown to be repressed during stationary phase, and a CroRS-regulated operon (glnQHMP) was identified. Gel retardation assays showed that the CroR regulator binds specifically to the glnQHMP promoter.

The CroRS two-component regulatory system is required for intrinsic beta-lactam resistance in Enterococcus faecalis.
Enterococcus faecalis produces a specific penicillin-binding protein (PBP5) that mediates high-level resistance to the cephalosporin class of beta-lactam antibiotics. Deletion of a locus encoding a previously uncharacterized two-component regulatory system of E. faecalis (croRS) led to a 4,000-fold reduction in the MIC of the expanded-spectrum cephalosporin ceftriaxone. The cytoplasmic domain o...
متن کاملIdentification of saliva-regulated genes of Streptococcus gordonii DL1 by differential display using random arbitrarily primed PCR.
Attachment of Streptococcus gordonii to the acquired pellicle of the tooth surface involves specific interactions between bacterial adhesins and adsorbed salivary components. To study saliva-regulated gene expression in S. gordonii, we used random arbitrarily primed PCR (RAP-PCR). Bacteria were incubated in either brain heart infusion medium or saliva. Total RNA from both conditions was purifie...
متن کاملبررسی آزمایشگاهی تأثیر کارواکرول بر باکتری Enterococcus Faecalis به عنوان داروی داخل کانال
Background and Aim: Researches have shown that bacteria play the main role in development of pulpal and periapical diseases. Chemo-mechanical cleaning of infected root-canal system can not remove all of the microorganisms. Thus interappointment medicaments are necessary to aid this goal. Calcium hydroxide is one of the most useful medicaments in root canal therapy, but this medicament can not e...
متن کاملEvaluation of drug sensitivity of Entrococcus faecium and Entrococcus faecalis Strains and Detection of VanA/B Genes in Vancomycin Resistance Isolated by PCR Method
Enterococci, as the major cause of nosocomial infections, have been shown to have an increase in drug resistance during the past two decades. TheEntrococcalemergence of Vancomycin-resistant is very important nowadays. The purpose of this study was to determine the drug sensitivity of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium species against Vancomycin, Tetracycline, Gentamicin, Erythromyci...
متن کاملComparison of statistical methods for identification of Streptococcus thermophilus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterococcus faecium from randomly amplified polymorphic DNA patterns.
Thermophilic streptococci play an important role in the manufacture of many European cheeses, and a rapid and reliable method for their identification is needed. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR (RAPD-PCR) with two different primers coupled to hierarchical cluster analysis has proven to be a powerful tool for the classification and typing of Streptococcus thermophilus, Enterococcus...
