Staphylococcus saprophyticus subsp. saprophyticus ATCC ® 15305™ Designation: NCTC 7292 TypeStrain=True Application: Quality control

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is an important cause of urinary tract infection (UTI), particularly among young women, and is second only to uropathogenic Escherichia coli as the most frequent cause of UTI. The molecular mechanisms of urinary tract colonization by S. saprophyticus remain poorly understood. We have identified a novel 6.84 kb plasmid-located adhesin-encoding gene in S. saprophyticus strain MS1146 which we have termed uro-adherence factor B (uafB). UafB is a glycosylated serine-rich repeat protein that is expressed on the surface of S. saprophyticus MS1146. UafB also functions as a major cell surface hydrophobicity factor. To characterize the role of UafB we generated an isogenic uafB mutant in S. saprophyticus MS1146 by interruption with a group II intron. The uafB mutant had a significantly reduced ability to bind to fibronectin and fibrinogen. Furthermore, we show that a recombinant protein containing the putative binding domain of UafB binds specifically to fibronectin and ...

Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a Gram-positive coccus belonging to the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus genus. S. saprophyticus is a common cause of community-acquired urinary tract infections. S. saprophyticus was not recognized as a cause of urinary tract infections until the early 1970s, more than 10 years after its original demonstration in urine specimens. Prior to this, the presence of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) in urine specimens was dismissed as contamination.[citation needed] In humans, S. saprophyticus is found in the normal flora of the female genital tract and perineum. It has been isolated from other sources, too, including meat and cheese products, vegetables, the environment, and human and animal gastrointestinal tracts. S. saprophyticus causes 10-20% of urinary tract infections (UTIs). In females 17-27 years old, it is the second-most common cause of community-acquired UTIs, after Escherichia coli. Sexual activity increases the risk of S. saprophyticus UTIs because ...

Abstract : Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S. saprophyticus) is a frequent cause of urinary tract infection in the young women.The current study was designed to analyze the effect of biofield energy treatment on S. saprophyticus for evaluationof its antibiogram profile, biochemical reactions pattern and biotyping characteristics. Two sets of ATCC sampleswere taken in this experiment and denoted as A and B. Sample A was revived and divided into two parts Group (Gr.I)(control) and Gr.II (revived); likewise, sample B was labeled as Gr.III (lyophilized). Gr. II and III were given with Mr.Trivedis biofield energy treatment. The control and treated groups of S. saprophyticus cells were tested with respect toantimicrobial susceptibility, biochemical reactions pattern and biotype number using MicroScan Walk-Away® system.The 50% out of twenty-eight tested antimicrobials showed significant alteration in susceptibility and 36.67% out of thirtyantimicrobials showed an alteration in minimum inhibitory ...

An agr homologue of Staphylococcus saprophyticus was identified, cloned and sequenced. The gene locus shows homologies to other staphylococcal agr systems, especially to those of S. epidermidis and S. lugdunensis. A putative RNAIII was identified and found to be differentially expressed during the growth phases. In contrast to the RNAIII molecules of S. epidermidis and S. aureus it does not contain an open reading frame that codes for a protein with homologies to the d-toxin. Using PCR, the agr was found to be present in clinical isolates of S. saprophyticus. ...

Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) belongs to the group of gasoline oxygenates and persistent environment contaminants, and shows potential for biodegradation in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, through application of pure microbial cultures. Presented research shows that indigenous bacterial isolates 6sy and 24p, selected from oil hydrocarbons-contaminated environments, were capable of utilizing MTBE as sole carbon and energy source. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, bacterial isolates 6sy and 24p were identified as Staphylococcus saprophyticus subsp. saprophyticus and Pseudomonas sp., respectively. The MTBE biodegradation rate was affected by longevity of incubation period and initial MTBE concentration. After 3 weeks of incubation at 25°C in a dark, the removal rates of initial 25 and 125 ppm MTBE concentrations by Staphylococcus saprophyticus 6sy were found to be 97, and 63%, respectively, while efficiency of Pseudomonas sp. in degradation of indicated concentrations was 96, and 40%,

Terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are a large class of natural products consisting of isoprene (C5) units. There are two biosynthetic pathways, the mevalonate pathway [MD:M00095] and the non-mevalonate pathway or the MEP/DOXP pathway [MD:M00096], for the terpenoid building blocks: isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). The action of prenyltransferases then generates higher-order building blocks: geranyl diphosphate (GPP), farsenyl diphosphate (FPP), and geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), which are the precursors of monoterpenoids (C10), sesquiterpenoids (C15), and diterpenoids (C20), respectively. Condensation of these building blocks gives rise to the precursors of sterols (C30) and carotenoids (C40). The MEP/DOXP pathway is absent in higher animals and fungi, but in green plants the MEP/DOXP and mevalonate pathways co-exist in separate cellular compartments. The MEP/DOXP pathway, operating in the plastids, is responsible for the formation of essential oil ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in infants and the elderly; they are also the most common among nosocomial infections. The treatment of UTIs usually involves a short-term course of antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to identify the strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that can inhibit the urinary tract pathogen Staphylococcus saprophyticus, as alternatives to antibiotics. In this study, we collected 370 LAB strains from fermented plant products and reference strains from the Bioresources Collection and Research Center (BCRC). Using spent culture supernatants (SCS), we then screened these LAB strains with for antimicrobial effects on urinary tract pathogens by the well-diffusion assay. Seven LAB strains-PM2, PM68, PM78, PM201, PM206, PM229, and RY2-exhibited inhibitory activity and were evaluated for anti-growth activity against urinary tract pathogens by the co-culture inhibition assay. Anti-adhesion and anti-invasion activities against urinary tract

The genus Staphylococcus consists of an ever-expanding group of gram-positive cocci that have evolved to colonize specific environmental niches, including preferential human tissues and diverse mammalian species. The study of staphylococcal biofilms in vitro has the advantage that in vivo foreign body-associated infections are often colonized by what seems to be single strains or species. The capsular polysaccharide adhesin (PS/A) was isolated from biofilm-forming S. epidermidis and shown to mediate binding of the bacteria to silastic catheter surfaces. More recently identified members of this family of autolysin/adhesins include the homologous Staphylococcus saprophyticus autolysin, Aas, which was shown to bind fibronectin and sheep erythrocytes and to exhibit bacteriolytic properties. The presence of an icaA homolog has also been inferred in S. auricularis, S. capitis, S. intermedius, S. lugdunensis, S. piscifermentans, and S. pasteuri based on DNA cross-hybridization experiments. Some of the

New insight has been gained into the everyday hazards of life in the late Byzantine Empire, sometime around the early 13th century, as well as the evolution of Staphylococcus saprophyticus, a common bacterial pathogen.

Most bacteria responsible for UTIs originate in the gut and colonise the perineum, then ascend through the urethra to infect the bladder mucosa. Globally, the most common pathogens associated with uncomplicated UTI are Escherichia coli, accounting for 80%-90% of infections and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, accounting for around 5%-10%. Proteus species and other Gram-negative rods are responsible for the remaining infections.1. Prescribing ...

left) Structure of fluorescein Fab-FluoroNanogold, showing the separate attachment of the Nanogold and fluorescein labels; (right) Effect of fluorophore-Nanogold separation on fluorescence, showing Schematic showing Förster distance. Well, what if you want to make FluoroNanogold probes out of smaller molecules, such as oligonucleotides? One solution is to use a smaller gold particle, which will have a shorter Förster distance and quench the fluorophore less. This approach was demonstrated by Dellaire and co-workers, who used (Undecagold as the electron microscopy marker in a novel combined fluorescent and gold-labeled double-stranded DNA probe, which binds selectively to fusion proteins of the DNA-binding proteins LacI and Tet-R that recognize specific operator sequences. Double-stranded oligonucleotides are attractive candidates for multiply labeled probes because they possess four distinct ends for functionalization, and their separation can be controlled by hybridization. Unlike ...

1. Protein Binding Microarray (PBM). PBMs use microarrays with double-stranded DNA probes to measure the fluorescence of alphaGST-tagged proteins bound to their sequence-specific binding sites on the probes. There are quite a few different PBM designs - with the UPBM, ME, and HK being the most popular. All three of these designs have roughly 44K DNA probe sequences that are engineered using deBruijn sequences to cover (nearly) all overlapping 10-mers at least once.. Advantages: Fast, relatively inexpensive, and provides real-valued measurements of binding.. Disadvantages (2015): Most array designs only cover all 10-mers, making it difficult to model binding sites larger than 10 base pairs. Contains a strong artifact of preferential binding at binding positions near the free-ends of the probes.. 2. SELEX-seq/HT-SELEX. The SELEX-seq (also called HT-SELEX) method combines classical protein-DNA SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) assays with massively parallel ...

Fig. 1. Molecular markers commonly used for mapping. SSLP (Bell and Ecker, 1994), SSLP markers exploit the variability of short repetitive sequences for mapping purposes. A primer pair (arrows) is used to amplify a fragment containing a short repetitive element, such as the (AT)-dinucleotide repeat shown in the example. The length of this repeat differs between the two accessions. In the example Columbia (Col) has an (AT)20 repeat whereas Landsbergerecta (Ler) has an (AT)15 repeat. Consequently, the PCR products from Ler and Col DNA also differ in length. In the example, the Col product is 150 bp and the Ler product is 140 bp long. This size difference can be visualized by agarose gel-electrophoresis (GE) with a standard (Std) as comparison. If a plant is heterozygous for the marker (Het), both products are amplified resulting in two bands. Typically the size difference created by short repetitive sequences is small. To facilitate their detection, SSLP primers usually amplify short fragments (80 ...

Chitosan (Chi) is a natural biodegradable cationic polymer with remarkable potency as a vehicle for drug or vaccine delivery. Chi possesses multiple groups, which can be used both for Chi derivatization and for particle formation. The aim of this work was to produce stable nanosized range Chi gels (nanogels, NGs) with different charge and to study the driving forces of complex formation between Chi NGs and proteins or peptides. Positively charged NGs of 150 nm in diameter were prepared from hexanoyl chitosan (HC) by the ionotropic gelation method while negatively charged NGs of 190 nm were obtained from succinoyl Chi (SC) by a Ca2+ coacervation approach. NGs were loaded with a panel of proteins or peptides with different weights and charges. We show that NGs preferentially formed complexes with oppositely charged molecules, especially peptides, as was demonstrated by gel-electrophoresis, confocal microscopy and HPLC. Complex formation was accompanied by a change in zeta-potential and decrease in size.

We have previously found an inverse association of childhood asthma and fungal diversity by classical culturing (Ege et al. NEJM 2011;364:701-9), which covers only a small minority of taxa.. The aim of the present analysis was to include also non-cultivable fungi by a molecular technique. For this purpose we applied single strand conformation polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (SSCP-PCR) targeting the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of fungi (Janke et al. Curr Microbiol 2013;67:156-69).. We used data from the GABRIELA study and analysed mattress dust samples from 844 Bavarian children age 6-10 years. DNA was extracted from dust samples, and the fungus-specific ITS region was amplified by PCR. The amplicons were subjected to non-denaturing gel-electrophoresis, and the resulting band patterns were digitized and normalized. We applied a factor analysis for the identification of the relevant gel positions and explored associations with a lifetime physicians diagnosis of asthma by ...

These children represent a special case. No one wants to return a child to an obese state. If this was the case for your child please understand that your weight goals will be educated guesses and fraught with more anxiety than normal. A formerly obese child is subjectively afraid of becoming fat as all eating disordered children are and objectively afraid of it, too. In these cases we look at the family height and weight pattern, the childs growth pattern as a younger child and begin our climb up towards a state rather than a weight. That state is normalization of heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and return to normal social behavior. In girls it also includes return of menstruation or the start of it, and in children category A-C (above) the resumption of growth in height. Rarely can a child who is genetically programmed to be larger than average be safely held at a thin body weight. Size acceptance may be a part of the familys treatment challenge ...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes about 80% of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults. These bacteria are normally present in the colon and may enter the urethral opening from the skin around the anus and genitals. Women may be more susceptible to UTI because their urethral opening is near the source of bacteria (e.g., anus, vagina) and their urethra is shorter, providing bacteria easier access to the bladder.. Other bacteria that cause urinary tract infections include Staphylococcus saprophyticus (5 to 15% of cases), Chlamydia trachomatis, and Mycoplasma hominis. Men and women infected with chlamydia trachomatis or mycoplasma hominis can transmit the bacteria to their partner during sexual intercourse, causing UTI.. Sexual intercourse triggers UTI in some women, for unknown reasons. Women who use a diaphragm develop infections more often, and condoms with spermicidal foam may cause the growth of E. coli in the vagina, which may enter the urethra..

Ethanol extract of flowers of Phrygilanthus acutifolius (Ruiz & Pav.) Eichler (Loranthaceae) inhibited the growth of both Gram (+) bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram (-) bacteria (Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). This extract was bactericidal against Staphylococcus aureus and bacteriostatic against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Morphological evidence suggests that the extract causes the swelling of the bacterial body of Staphylococcus aureus, the disintegration of the cell surface and the cell death. Bactericidal activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and was not affected by different ionic strengths. The presence of Mg2+ in the culture medium of Phrygilanthus acutifolius diminished the sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain against the extract. Test results would tend to corroborate the folk belief that the flowers of this plant are efficacious against respiratory infections and would justify its further

The isolation and identification of food pathogens from freshly milled palm oil as well as the effect of steam sterilization on some quality parameters of palm oil was evaluated. Microbial isolations and quality parameters were carried out at day 0, day 14 and day 28. Biochemical parameters such as Peroxide value, Anisidine value, Free fatty acid, Deterioration of bleachibility index (DOBI) and Carotene value was analyzed in the same samples using the digital Palmoiltester. The most frequently isolated bacteria from the unsterilized samples were Pseudomonas aerugenosa, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus aerogenes, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Micrococcus varians while the most frequently isolated fungal species were Aspergillus niger aggregate (IMI number 503810), Cochliobolus sp. (anamorphic state: Curvularia) (IMI number 503811), Penicillium citrinum (IMI number 503812) and a yeast, Meyerozyma guilliermondii (IMI number 503813). The fungal count in the

Synthetic biology research requires more cost effective approaches toward wetware and hardware accessibility. We are developing low-cost alternatives to existing tools and techniques in an attempt to expand participation in biological research and development. Our project expands the accessibility of Taq polymerase by engineering it to BioBrick standards. This allows for the expression and recovery of polymerase from transformed E. coli at a fraction of the cost of highly purified commercial enzyme. In addition, we have developed inexpensive and easily assembled lab equipment such as a gel-electrophoresis apparatus and a PCR thermal cycler. By enabling researchers to synthesize their own reagents and purchase or produce inexpensive tools, we hope to lower the barriers to entry for synthetic biology. ...

Most uncomplicated urinary tract infections occur in women who are sexually active, with far fewer cases occurring in older women, those who are pregnant, and in men. Although the incidence of urinary tract infection has not changed substantially over the last 10 years, the diagnostic criteria, bacterial resistance patterns, and recommended treatment have changed. Escherichia coli is the leading cause of urinary tract infections, followed by Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole has been the standard therapy for urinary tract infection; however, E. coli is becoming increasingly resistant to medications. Many experts support using ciprofloxacin as an alternative and, in some cases, as the preferred first-line agent.

To align the developing chicken BAC contig physical maps with the existing linkage map, its necessary to identify BACs corresponding to the DNA-based markers on the latter. Chicken BAC libraries, derived from DNA of a single UCD001 inbred Red Jungle Fowl, have been generated by our collaborators. Characterization of the first BAC library based on BamHI partial digest fragments initially was done by filter hybridization with pools of labeled, PCR-amplified fragments based on marker or gene DNA sequences. Individual marker/BAC assignments were made by Southern hybridization of BAC DNA with individual marker probes and/or PCR analysis. In this manner, 31 markers from 9 linkage groups generated 71 BamHI BAC candidates (2.3 clones per locus). This approach is labor- and cost-intensive. Thus, we began using pools of overgo probes, that are complementary synthetic oligonucleotides extended in vitro to generate ~40 base pair, double-stranded DNA probes. Two BAC libraries were hybridized to pools of 36 ...

The pathogenic potential of S. aureus is a consequence of its multitude of VFs that have evolved to interact with a number of host molecules. As a result, S. aureus can survive and thrive at many tissue sites in the host and cause a wide range of diseases. Fg is a surprisingly common target for many of the staphylococcal VFs. The known Fg binding staphylococcal proteins largely fall into two groups: a family of structurally related cell wall-anchored proteins of the MSCRAMM (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) type, which include ClfA, ClfB, FnbpA, FnbpB, and Bbp/SdrE (24) and a group of secreted smaller proteins (sometimes referred to as the SERAMs [secretable expanded repertoire adhesive molecules]), which include Efb, Coa, vWbp, Emp (extracellular matrix binding protein), and Eap (extracellular adherence protein) (25). The Fg binding sites in the MSCRAMMs are located in a segment of the proteins composed of two IgG folded subdomains that interact with Fg by ...

The second mechanism of respiratory control (allosteric ATP-inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO)) is demonstrated for the first time in intact isolated rat liver and heart mitochondria. The problems of measuring the kinetics of allosteric ATP-inhibition in isolated mitochondria were investigated. And it was found that only at very high ATP/ADP ratios, this inhibition is obtained and requires an ATP-regenerating system consisting of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and pyruvate kinase (PK). The allosteric ATP-inhibition can be switched off probably by dephosphorylation of a serine at CcO subunit-I. The phosphorylation of CcO at serine, threonine and tyrosine was studied in isolated mitochondria by extracting complex IV of the respiratory chain (CcO) by BN-PAGE (blue-nativepolyacrylamide- gel-electrophoresis), SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with the corresponding antibodies against the phosphorylated amino acids. The extent of allosteric ATP-inhibition of CcO varied in different preparations of ...
