Isolation and characterization of lysozyme-sensitive mutants of Staphylococcus aureus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four lysozyme-sensitive mutants were isolated after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of a lysozyme-insensitive strain of Staphylococcus aureus. One mutant was sufficiently effective for the isolation of macromolecules, such as plasmid deoxyribonucleic acids, from a cell after lysozyme-induced cell lysis.

Isolation of the rec mutants in Staphylococcus aureus.
A histidine auxotroph (his-) of Staphylococcus aureus MS3937 and mutants sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation were obtained. The UV-sensitive mutants were found also to be sensitive to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and mitomycin C, and their sensitivity was accounted for by a defect in deoxyribonucleic acid repair. Transduction of either chromosomal or plasmid markers to UV-sensitiv...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of Nisin and Lysozyme on Foodborne Pathogens Listeria Monocytogenes, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Escherichia Coli at Different pH
Background: To prevent or inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and food spoilage factors, many studies have been done by using natural preservatives. The aim of study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of lysozyme and Nisin on the growth rate and also to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal cocentratiin (MBC) of these co...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of a High Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Harboring VanA Gene Cluster Isolated from Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of human infection, and emergence of vancomycin-resistance S. aureus is a great concern for treatment of methicillin-resistant S. aureus,(MRSA) in recent years (MRSA). Here, we report the isolation of high-level VRSA. Materials and Methods S. aureus was isolated from foot ulcer of a diabetic woman in Tehran, Iran. Antibiotic susceptibilit...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization and therapeutic potential assessment of bacteriophages virulent to Staphylococcus aureus associated with goat mastitis
In the present study, the therapeutic potential of bacteriophages virulent to Staphylococcus aureus associated with goat mastitis were isolated, identified and assessed. Staphylococcus aureus (host or indicator bacterium) was isolated from a goat suffering from clinical mastitis. Based on cultural, morphological, biochemical tests and amplification of S. aureus specific thermonuclease gene inPC...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis; a pathogen that should be considered in Iran
Background: Staphylococcus lugdunensis is Gram-positive cocci of the staphylococcaceae family. S. lugdunensis despite having a clotting factor (wall coagulase), was classified in the coagulase negative staphylococcus group (CoNS) for lack of free coagulase. Although this bacterium is part of the human normal flora, in terms of virulence, S. lugdunensis is in second place after S. aureus. S. lug...
