abstract

objective(s) staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of many nosocomial and community acquired infections. according to many reports, antibiotic therapy can not guarantee the eradication of s. aureus infections. thus designing an adhesin based vaccine could restrain the s. aureus infections. this study designed for construction of a new fusion protein vaccine against s. aureus infections based on adhesin molecules fibronectin binding protein a (fnbpa) and clumping factor a (clfa). materials and methods bioinformatic experiments were performed using oligo analyzer and dnaman softwares. the fragments corresponding to fnba binding domain and a c-terminal fragment from clfa were amplified from s. aureus nctc8325 genomic dna. purified pcr products and the vector, pet15b, were digested with nco and bamhi. the digested pcr products were hybridized together and then ligated to digested vector. finally incomplete construct was assembled by taq dna polymerase. to quick confirmation of cloning procedure the new construct designated pfnba-clfa was digested with ncol and bamhi. to further verification, the product was sent for sequencing. results the data based on bioinformatic analysis showed no homology between fusion protein and human proteins. digestion of new vector with ncol and bamhi confirmed the ligation of fusion protein sequence into pet15b. sequencing results verified the integrity of target sequences. conclusion this study is the first effort to construct a new fusion protein vector based on s. aureus adhesins using a new design. this project is being continued to study the expression and biological activity of the fusion protein in a cell culture model.

Two Dimensional Structural Analysis and Expression of a New Staphylococcus aureus Adhesin Based Fusion Protein

Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is a foremost source of numerous nosocomial and community acquired infections. Antibiotic therapy for vancomycin resistant S. aureus (VRSA) can not promise the eradication of infections. Since adhesion is the major route of infections, adhesin based vaccine could suppress S. aureus infections. Fibronectin binding protein A (FnBPA) and clumping factor A (ClfA)...

Fibrinogen-binding protein/clumping factor from Staphylococcus aureus.

The binding of staphylococcal components to fibrinogen was studied. Fibrinogen-binding material from lysed staphylococcal cells or culture supernatants was affinity purified on fibrinogen-Sepharose and analyzed on Western (immuno-) blots by the use of fibrinogen and antifibrinogen antibodies. Two main bands of 87 and 19 kilodaltons (kDa) and a weaker band of 35 kDa bound specifically to fibrino...

LytU-SH3b fusion protein as a novel and efficient enzybiotic against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a challenging infectious agent worldwide. The ever growing antibiotic resistance has made the researchers to look for new anti-staphylococcal agents. Autolysins are staphylococcal enzymes that lyse bacterial cell wall for cell division. Autolysins can be used as novel enzybiotics (enzymes have antibiotic effects) for staphylococcal ...

Molecular typing of nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus strains associated to biofilm based on the coagulase and protein A gene polymorphisms

Objective(s): Staphylococcus aureus is an important bacterial pathogen responsible for a variety numbers of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Biofilm formation is regarded as an important factor in the establishment of S. aureus infection. The contribution of the genetic background of S. aureus to biofilm formation is poorly understood. The aim of the present work was to genotype S....
