Detection of a lysozyme inhibitor in Proteus mirabilis by a new reverse zymogram method.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reverse zymogram method for the detection of bacterial lysozyme inhibitors was developed. This method was validated by using a periplasmic protein extract of Escherichia coli containing a known inhibitor and subsequently led to the detection of a new proteinaceous hen egg white lysozyme inhibitor in Proteus mirabilis.

متن کاملEvaluation of a double synergy differential test (DSDT) for differential detection of ESBL and AmpC-type β-lactamases in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis.
This work describes a simple and practical double synergy differential test (DSDT) that couples the detection of ESBLs and AmpC-type enzymes by means of a combo-disk approach using cefotaxime and ceftazidime as indicator substrates, and clavulanate and boronic acid as enzyme inhibitors. The DSDT was tested with a collection of 118 Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis st...

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...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Proteus mirabilis Lipase, a Novel Lipase from the Proteus/Psychrophilic Subfamily of Lipase Family I.1
Bacterial lipases from family I.1 and I.2 catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol between 25-45°C and are used extensively as biocatalysts. The lipase from Proteus mirabilis belongs to the Proteus/psychrophilic subfamily of lipase family I.1 and is a promising catalyst for biodiesel production because it can tolerate high amounts of water in the reaction. Here we present the crystal structur...
