Quantitative disk diffusion as a convenient method for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations of oxacillin for staphylococci strains

In this study the susceptibility of 58 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) strains and 58 Staphylococcus aureus strains to oxacillin was evaluated by a novel method called quantitative disk diffusion (DD) method. The results obtained were compared to phenotypic methods as agar dilution (AD) for oxacillin, disk diffusion (DD) for cefoxitin, and related to the presence of the mecA gene detected by PCR. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) determined by the quantitative DD method were equivalent to MICs determined in the AD method for S. aureus (Student's t test, p=0.99) and CoNS (Student's t test, p=0.97). Incongruent results between PCR mecA gene determinations and the quantitative DD method were obtained in 8 strains (5 S. aureus and 3 CoNS) where the mecA gene expression was blocked. However, oxacillin resistance was detected by the proposed method even in staphylococci strains showing low-level or heterogeneous resistance to the antibiotic while other phenotypic methods failed. The single quantitative DD method is not expensive, it can be performed in any laboratory and permits accurate identification of oxacillin resistant staphylococci.     

Screening of yeast strains for phytase activity

A screening method was developed to elucidate the ability of different yeast strains to utilize phytic acid as sole phosphorus source. The growth test in liquid culture in a microtiter plate with phytic acid as sole phosphorus source was shown to be a reliable, fast and easy-to-use screening method. We tested 122 strains from 61 species with our method and observed growth differences among species and strains that were not detectable on solid medium. Specific phytase activities were measured for 10 yeasts strains, selected due to their strong growth in the liquid medium. Strains of Arxula adeninivorans and Pichia anomala reached the highest volumetric phytase activities. Arxula adeninivorans also displayed the highest intra- and extracellular specific activities. There were large differences in both extra- and intracellular phytase activities among species. Strain-specific extracellular phytase activities were detected in P. anomala . The presence of free phosphate in the media completely suppressed the extracellular phytase activity and also reduced intracellular phytase activity for all tested yeast strains.

Etest for assessing the susceptibility of filamentous fungi

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Etest as an in vitro antifungal susceptibility test method for different moulds originating from human samples and from the environment. A total of 50 isolates (1 Acremonium, 18 Aspergillus, 2 Cladosporium, 1 Epicoccum, 15 Penicillium, 2 Scopulariopsis and 11 Trichoderma strains) were tested by the Etest. Forty-six of the tested moulds (92%) were resistant to fluconazole with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) > or = 256 microg ml(-1). There were strains resistant to ketoconazole among Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus and Cladosporium spp. with MICs > 32 microg ml(-1). For fluconazole, no differences were observed using two different inocula, while for itraconazole, ketoconazole and amphotericin B, a 1 or less step 2-fold dilution difference in MIC was seen for the most of 10 selected strains. The MICs of fluconazole and amphotericin B obtained for Trichoderma strains by the Etest and the agar dilution method were also compared. MICs for fluconazole were in agreement, while MICs for amphotericin B were higher with 1 or 2 steps of 2-fold dilutions for most of Trichoderma strains in the case of the agar dilution method.

Comparison of disk-diffusion method and PCR for detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains

The aim of the study was to compare the disk-diffusion (oxacillin 1 microg, cefoxitin 30 microg) method and PCR for detection of methicillin-resistance in S. aureus. The investigation were carried out on 120 S. aureus strains isolated from clinical materials of patients hospitalized in the University Hospital at the L. Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, University of Nicolaus Copernicus in Toruń. Of the 120 S. aureus strains tested, 60 (50%) were mecA-positive by PCR. Consistency of results between oxacillin disk-difussion method and PCR amounted 92.5% and cefoxitin disk-diffusion method and PCR--98.3%. The oxacillin disk-difussion method falsely identified 3 (2.5%) strains as MSSA (sensitivity 95.0%) and 4 strains as MRSA (specificity 93.3%) in comparison with PCR. The cefoxitin disk-diffusion method falsely identified 2 (1.6%) strains as MSSA (sensitivity 96.7%) and there were no false resistant results (specificity 100%). Our results showed that in disk-diffusion tests, cefoxitin is a better than oxacillin for the identification of MRSA.

Capillary isoelectric focusing--useful tool for detection of the biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis

The biofilm formation is an important factor of S. epidermidis virulence. Biofilm-positive strains might be clinically more important than biofilm-negative ones. Unlike biofilm-negative staphylococci, biofilm-positive staphylococci are surrounded with an extracellular polysaccharide substance. The presence of this substance on the surface can affect physico-chemical properties of the bacterial cell, including surface charge. 73 S. epidermidis strains were examined for the presence of ica operon, for the ability to form biofilm by Christensen test tube method and for the production of slime by Congo red agar method. Isoelectric points (pI) of these strains were determined by means of Capillary Isoelectric Focusing. The biofilm negative strains focused near pI value 2.3, while the pI values of the biofilm positive strains were near 2.6. Isoelectric point is a useful criterion for the differentiation between biofilm-positive and biofilm-negative S. epidermidis strains.     

Use of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of inlA for rapid screening of Listeria monocytogenes strains deficient in the ability to invade Caco-2 cells

A PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method was developed in order to screen a large number of strains for impaired adhesion to epithelial cells due to expression of truncated InlA. inlA polymorphism was analyzed by PCR-RFLP in order to correlate inlA PCR-RFLP profiles and production of truncated InlA. Thirty-seven Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from various sources, including five noninvasive and two invasive reference strains, were screened. Two endonucleases (AluI and Tsp509I) were used, and they generated five composite profiles. Thirteen L. monocytogenes isolates were characterized by two specific PCR-RFLP profiles similar to PCR-RFLP profiles of noninvasive reference strains previously described as strains that produce truncated InlA. Ten of the 13 isolates showed low abilities to invade human epithelial Caco-2 cells. However, 4 of the 13 isolates were able to invade Caco-2 cells like reference strains containing complete InlA. Sequencing of inlA and Western blot analysis confirmed that truncated InlA was expressed in the 10 L. monocytogenes strains which were isolated from food. This PCR-RFLP method allowed us to identify 10 new strains expressing a truncated internalin. Based on the results obtained in this study, the PCR-RFLP method seems to be an interesting method for rapidly screening L. monocytogenes strains deficient in the ability to invade Caco-2 cells when a sizeable number of strains are studied.     

Comparison of two methods for serotyping Ureaplasma urealyticum clinical isolates

A newly developed enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to the 14 serotypes of Ureaplasma urealyticum was compared to immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for serotyping U. urealyticum clinical isolates. Of the 102 vaginal isolates of U. urealyticum, five strains were lost and were excluded from analysis. Of the 97 strains analysed, a total of 86 (89%) strains were typeable by ELISA and a total of 89 (92%) strains were typeable by IFA. Eighty-six strains were typeable by both methods, three by IFA only and eight strains were not typeable neither by ELISA nor by IFA. Of the 86 strains typeable by both methods, complete concordance in serotyping results was found. The three strains not typeable by ELISA were typeable as serotype 4 by IFA. These three strains were reanalysed by ELISA after major modifications of the antigen preparation and were typeable as serotype 4. In conclusion, the ELISA was found suitable for serotyping clinical isolates. However, since the ELISA had a somewhat lower performance than IFA, strains not typeable by ELISA, should be retested by another technique such as IFA.

Luminescent method for the detection of antibacterial activities

A new rapid and sensitive method for the detection of antibacterial activities was based on luminescent indicator strains. Listeria innocua 8811 and Enterococcus faecalis 32 were transformed with plasmid carrying bacterial luciferase genes. Subsequent strains became capable to emit light during the exponential growth phase. The addition of bacteriocin containing culture supernatants to such cultures induced a drop of their light emission which was correlated to the combined antibacterial activity of acid stress and bacteriocin. The detection of antagonistic activity is independent of its mode of action, i.e. bactericidal or bacteriostatic. This method allowed to directly visualize the antagonistic activity of bacteriocin producer strains toward target strains in coculture experiments. However, a control co-culture with non-producing bacteriocin mutant was necessary in order to distinguish between nutrients competition and bacteriocin activity. Finally, five class IIa bacteriocins were purified from culture supernatants of eight strains detected in 3 days from a 120 lactic acid bacteria collection.     

A fast method for monitoring the colonization rate of lactobacilli in a meat model system

A random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay coupled to a fast and reproducible cell lysis method from Lactobacillus colonies were developed to type lactobacilli of different strains and species, with the aim of precisely enumerating each of the different Lactobacillus strains inoculated in a nutrient-rich environment, such as sausage meat batter. Colonization assays were carried out in an aseptic meat fermentation system for up to 14 d and the inoculated strains were challenged with mixtures of wild lactobacilli. The proportion of inoculated strains remaining at different times was compared with the total number of lactobacilli grown on MRS agar by RAPD. The colonization rate of the different strains tested was very different. The RAPD-fast lysis method developed is simple and, with a low cost per assay, could also be applied to other food fermentations.
