Survival of Proteus mirabilis O3 (S1959), O9 and O18 strains in normal human serum (NHS) correlates with the diversity of their outer membrane proteins (OMPs).

چکیده
Urinary tract infections are frequently caused by Proteus mirabilis strains. In the previous studies there were defined the complete structures of O-polysaccharide parts of lipopolysaccharides from strains: P. mirabilis O3 (S1959), P. mirabilis O9 and P. mirabilis O18. In the present study it was investigated bactericidal effect of normal human serum (NHS) to P. mirabilis strains. We also focused on the diversity of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) being separated on a gel isolated from tested strains. Serial passage of P. mirabilis O18 in 90% normal bovine serum (NBS) contributed to over-expressing some classes of OMPs.

SDS-PAGE Analysis of the Outer Membrane Proteins of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated from Patients in Different Wards of Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Iran
Background: Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) constitute the main structure and about half of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. The OMPs of Escherichia coli (E. coli) play an important role in its drug resistance. Previous studies have shown that the OMPs of E. coli enhance its pathogenic effects by helping the bacterium to evade the immune defense and promote its adsorption to host cells. ...
متن کاملCharacterization of antigens from nontypable Haemophilus influenzae recognized by human bactericidal antibodies. Role of Haemophilus outer membrane proteins.
Major outer membrane antigens, proteins, and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), from nontypable Haemophilus influenzae were characterized and examined as targets for complement-dependent human bactericidal antibodies. Outer membranes from two nontypable H. influenzae isolates that caused otitis media and pneumonia (middle ear and transtracheal aspirates) were prepared by shearing organisms in EDTA. Th...

The serological cross-reactivity between lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of S. fidelis KMM3582(T) and rabbit anti-O P. mirabilis antibodies was tested. Using ELISA and Western blot cross-reactivity between S. fidelis LPS and antisera against P. mirabilis O14, O3 LPSs was found. The observed cross-reaction may suggest that anti-P. mirabilis S1959 (O3) antibodies may bind to the internal part of S. fid...

Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Morganella morganii, Providencia rettgeri, and Providencia alcalifaciens, which were once classified into the same genus, Proteus, were studied. Cefoxitin-resistant mutants from these species were isolated, and it was confirmed that the resistance was attributed to the lack of an outer membrane protein, resulting in a significant decrease in the penetration ...
