Stimulation of TNF-α production in RAW 264.7 mousemacrophages by lipoprotein-enriched cell membrane fractions of E. faecaliswild type and ΔbgsA.RAW264.7 cells were incubated with lipoproteinenriched Triton X-114 extracts from total membrane protein fractions derived from the indicated E. faecalis strains. The concentration of lipoprotein extracts was measured photometrically and normalized to a bacterial cfu:RAW 264.7 cell ratio of 10,000:1. At 16 h, supernatants were collected and TNF-α concentrations were quantified by ELISA. LPS at a concentration of 100 ng/ml was used as positive control. Data represent mean ± SEM of triplicates. * p < 0.001 12030 ΔbgsA versus 12030WT.

Enterococcus faecalis Glycolipids Modulate Lipoprotein-Content of the Bacterial Cell Membrane and Host Immune Response

In this study, we investigated the impact of the cell membrane composition of E. faecalis on its recognition by the host immune system. To this end, we employed an E. faecalis deletion mutant (ΔbgsA) that does not synthesize the major cell membrane glycolipid diglycosyl-diacylglycerol (DGlcDAG). Proteomic analysis revealed that 13 of a total of 21 upregulated surface-associated proteins of E. f...

Role of Glycolipids in the Pathogenesis of Enterococcus faecalis Urinary Tract Infection

BACKGROUND After uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), Enterococcus faecalis is the second most common pathogen causing urinary tract infections. Monoglucosyl-diacylglycerol (MGlcDAG) and diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (DGlcDAG) are the main glycolipids of the E. faecalis cell membrane. Examination of two mutants in genes bgsB and bgsA (both glycosyltransferases) showed that these genes are involve...

The Use of Enterococci as Probiotics in Poultry

Enterococci are members of the lactic acid bacteria family and are responsible for many food spoilage and fermentations. Some strains of this microorganism are used as probiotics in humans and animals to improve host immunity. However, some Enterococci are important pathogens which cause severe infections. Some strains of Enterococci are resistant to common antibiotic...

Evaluation of a PCR Assay to Detect Enterococcus faecalis in Blood and Determine Glycopeptides Resistance Genes: Van A and Van B

Background: Bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecalis is usually caused by strains resistant to most antibiotics. Effective management of the disease is dependent on rapid detection and characterization of the bacteria, and determination its sensitivity pattern to antimicrobial drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate a more rapid and reliable assay for simultaneous diagnosis of enterococc...

Fibrinogen and mucin binding activity of EF0737, a novel protein of Enterococcus faecalis

Background and Objectives Enterococcus faecalis is the leading cause of several human infections. This opportunist pathogen expresses surface components that have various functions in the infection process including bacterial adhesion, lytic activity, and induction of host immune responses. EF0737, a novel cell wall associated protein, may play an important role in pathogenesis of E. faecalis, ...
