Na(+)/glutamine (asparagine) cotransport by Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Corynebacterium amycolatum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Corynebacterium amycolatum each have a Na(+)/glutamine cotransporter that displays an ordered reaction sequence at the extracellular surface, with sodium binding (K(m) of 6.5 mM) before glutamine (K(m) of 50 microM). Asparagine is low-affinity substrate (K(m) approximately 1 mM) for each system.

Relationship between mutations in the gyrA gene and quinolone resistance in clinical isolates of Corynebacterium striatum and Corynebacterium amycolatum.
Quinolone susceptibility was analyzed in 17 clinical isolates of Corynebacterium striatum and 9 strains of Corynebacterium amycolatum by the E-test method in Mueller-Hinton agar plates. The C. striatum ATCC 6940 strain was used as a control strain. The amplified quinolone resistance determining regions of the gyrA genes of C. amycolatum and C. striatum were characterized. Four in vitro quinolon...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Vaginal Isolate Corynebacterium amycolatum ICIS 9
Corynebacterium amycolatum ICIS 9 was isolated from a vaginal smear of a healthy woman. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of C. amycolatum ICIS 9, which will be useful for further studies of specific genetic features of this strain and for understanding its probiotic properties.
متن کاملBacteremia Caused by Corynebacterium amycolatum with a Novel Mutation in gyrA Gene that Confers High-Level Quinolone Resistance
Although Corynebacterium amycolatum can cause opportunistic infections, it is commonly considered as contaminant. In this report, we present a case of bacteremia caused by C. amycolatum with a novel mutation in the gyrA gene that confers high-level quinolone resistance to the organism.
متن کاملChanges of glutamine and asparagine content in cucumber seedlings in response to nitrate stress
Nitrogen fertilizer application rates in intensive agricultural systems have increased dramatically in recent years, especially in protected vegetable production systems. This excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer has resulted in soil secondary salinity, which has become a significant environmental stress for crops such as cucumber, in the protected farmlands. It is thus necessary to illuminate ...
متن کاملMicrobiological and host features associated with corynebacteriosis in cancer patients: a five-year study.
During a five-year period, 932 clinical isolates from cancer patients treated in a Brazilian reference centre were identified as corynebacteria; 86% of the cultures came from patients who had been clinically and microbiologically classified as infected and 77.1% of these patients had been hospitalised (71.1% from surgical wards). The adult solid tumour was the most common underlying malignant d...
