Putative Drug Targets in Ureaplasma Urealyticum Serovar 10 Str. Atcc 33699 by Insilico Genomics Approach and Virtual Screening
نویسنده
چکیده
Increase in biological data at an alarming rate, has made possible the use of such data in identification of drug targets. Ureaplasma urealyticum serovar 10 str. ATCC 33699 is a causative agent for sexually transmitted infections. In present study novel comparative genomic approach is used to identify the drug targets. This approach has been successfully used in Pseudomonas aeroginosa. In current study similar work has been done to mine the drug targets. Analysis in the present study showed a total of 265 essential proteins, out of which 14 showed pathways related to both human and pathogen. The 2 proteins are exclusively pathogen specific and are part of unique metabolic pathways. The 3-D structure of the drug targets was predicted by fold based method and virtual screening was performed to find the natural lead compounds that bind to target. ADME-tox properties of the natural compounds showing better binding affinity were also studied.

Detection and characterization of human Ureaplasma species and serovars by real-time PCR.
We designed primers and probes for the detection and discrimination of Ureaplasma parvum and U. urealyticum and their 14 serovars by real-time PCR. The analytical sensitivity and specificity of the multiplex species-specific PCR were determined by testing corresponding American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) type strains, 47 other microbial species, and human genomic DNA. The limits of the mult...

Background: In most cases, prostatitis can be caused by a bacterial agent such as Ureaplasma urealyticum. Considering to the cumbersome of the culture method for the detection of Ureaplasma species in clinical samples such as prostate; PCR method that is faster and more appropriate than the cultivation methods, can be utilized for the detection of <em...

Genetic relationships within ureaplasma serovars were investigated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). One hundred thirteen Ureaplasma parvum isolates and 78 Ureaplasma urealyticum isolates were different from their ATCC serovar type strains and different within the same serovars. The organisms were geographically widespread. No unique patterns were associated with invasive disease.

Currently there are 14 recognized serovars of Ureaplasma urealyticum, and it has been postulated that only certain ones may be associated with disease and that lack of serovar-specific antibody may be an important risk factor. Unfortunately, ureaplasma antigens important in the human immune response and disease pathogenesis are poorly defined. By using sera from ureaplasma-infected patients and...

Background and purpose: Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the most common causes of Non-Gonococcal Urethritis (NGU). Asymptomatic clinical infection caused by this bacterium can cause malnutrition of the sexual attachment glands and its presence in semen contributes to lower fertility. The aim of this study was to identify Ureaplasma urealyticum in semen of infertile men using PCR method as an a...
