Inhibition of Proteus Swarming by Nucleic Acid

چکیده
was attributable to the DNA (sperm deoxyribonucleic acid, Lot no. 1701, Nutritional Biochemicals Corp., Cleveland, Ohio) which had been added to Tryptose Agar (Difco) because swarming developed freely on the unsupplemented Tryptose Agar. This observation added an exceptional compound to the numerous substances which are known to interfere with the ability of Proteus sp. to swarm on agar media. Agents such

Inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation by 2,2’-bipyridyl, lipoic, kojic and picolinic acids
Objective(s):The inhibitory effects of iron chelators, and FeCl3 chelation on biofilm formation and swarming motility were investigated against an opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods:The inhibitory activity of 2,2’-bipyridyl, lipoic acid, kojic acid and picolinic acidonbiofilm formation of P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 and three clinical isolates (P. aeruginos...
متن کاملModulation of swarming and virulence by fatty acids through the RsbA protein in Proteus mirabilis.
After sensing external signals, Proteus mirabilis undergoes a multicellular behavior called swarming which is coordinately regulated with the expression of virulence factors. Here we report that exogenously added fatty acids could act as signals to regulate swarming in P. mirabilis. Specifically, while oleic acid enhanced swarming, some saturated fatty acids, such as lauric acid, myristic acid,...
متن کاملMembrane fluidity optimization regulates Serratia marcescens swarming behaviour through modulation of a temperature-dependent two-component signal transduction system
Serratia marcescens swarming behavior is characterized by continuous populational surface migration on swarming agar at 30°C, but not at 37°C. The underlying mechanism how S. marcescens population starts to initiate swarming and the temperature-dependent regulation of swarming behaviour are currently uncharacterized. We identify in S. marcescens a genetic locus that, when mutated, results in a ...
متن کاملChloral hydrate plates for the inhibition of swarming of Proteus.
In routine bacteriology the swarming of Proteus on plate cultures often masks the identity or presence of other bacteria which may be present. Mixed cultures including Proteus are often obtained from open wounds or sinuses following abdominal or chest operations, so that unless some special selective medium is used it is usually impossible to identify or to isolate other bacteria from a culture...

Abstract Introduction: Bacteria communicate with each other by using molecular chemical signal, which are called autoinducer. By the increase of concentration of these signals, which is the result of increase cellular density, they coordinate gene expression in a microbial community. This process is called Quorum sensing. Considering the importance of urine tract infections prominent role of Qu...
