Staphylococcus aureus Protoplasting Induced by d-Cycloserine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Addition of sublethal doses of d-cycloserine to growing cells of Staphylococcus aureus induces the rupture of the cell wall along an equatorial ring, thus allowing the liberation of protoplasts.

Evaluation of target specificity of antibacterial agents using Staphylococcus aureus ddlA mutants and D-cycloserine in a silkworm infection model.
The availability of a silkworm larva infection model to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotics was examined. The 50% effective doses (ED50) of D-cycloserine against the Staphylococcus aureus ddlA mutant-mediated killing of larvae were remarkably lower than those against the parental strain-mediated killing of larvae. Changes in MICs and ED50 of other antibiotics were negligible, ...
متن کاملDaptomycin In Vitro Activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Is Enhanced by d-Cycloserine in a Mechanism Associated with a Decrease in Cell Surface Charge.
The killing activity of daptomycin against an isogenic pair of daptomycin-susceptible and daptomycin-nonsusceptible (DNS) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains was enhanced by the addition of certain cell wall agents at 1× MIC. However, when high inocula of the DNS strain were used, no significant killing was observed in our experiments. Cytochrome c binding assays revealed...
متن کاملN(2)-substituted D,L-cycloserine derivatives: synthesis and evaluation as alanine racemase inhibitors.
A select series of N(2)-substituted D,L-cycloserine derivatives were prepared a ndevaluated for inhibitory activity against purified alanine racemases (alr gene product) from Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as in a growth inhibition assay. N(2)-Modification led to loss of enzymatic inhibitory activity in most cases consistent with a recent propos...
