Sixty fenotypically coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus strains were screened for the presence of six adhesion genes. The strains were isolated from varied clinical samples and varied patients in 16 medical centers, in majority from the region of Gdansk. Multiplex PCR in two primer sets was used for detection of the following genes: bbp (bone binding protein), cna (collagen binding protein), ebp (elastin binding protein)and fnbB (fibronectin B binding protein), fib (fibrinogen bindng protein) and clfA (clunmping factor A). More than half (57%) of the examined population harbored four genes: fnbB,fib, cna i clfA. All of the strains were found to be clfA positive and 90% of them were positive for fnbB, 90% for fib and 67% for cna. All of these genes were significantly more common in MRSA than in MSSA. The particular genes were occurred in strains derived from varied clinical samples. 相似文献

To evaluate the activity of antiseptics and the sensitivity-resistance of bacteria to antiseptics, a number of characteristics has been used, including the minimum inhibiting concentration for different strains, the frequency of statistical and clinical resistance, the antiseptic activity index. A wide spread of S. aureus strains isolated from patients with hospital infections has been revealed. Differences in the resistance of bacterial strains have been established, depending on the type of the antiseptic and the ecovar of bacteria: among hospital ecovars, resistant strains occur more frequently and can resist a wider range of antibiotics. In staphylococcal hospital ecovars the occurrence and level of resistance to a number of widely used antiseptics increase with time. In connection with a wide spread of staphylococcal hospital strains resistant to antiseptics, measures on the control of the circulation of such strains should be introduced into hospitals, and the data thus obtained should be used for the periodic reevaluation of antiseptics used in medical practice and for the choice of preparations to be used for individual therapeutic and prophylactic antisepsis. 相似文献

Repression of virulence by Staphylococcus aureus strains from different Agr groups has been demonstrated in vitro and is proposed as a means of competitive interference. Here, using the insect Manduca sexta, we show for the first time that this interference also occurs in vivo within a mixed population. 相似文献

International epidemiological studies have shown that clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus are usually capsulated with either type 5 or 8 capsular polysaccharides (CPs). Because all noncapsulated strains were found to be cross-reactive with polysaccharide 336 (336PS) antibodies, the noncapsulated strains were denoted as type 336PS. The capsular types of 162 Dutch methicillin-susceptible S. aureus strains derived from individuals living in the Rotterdam area were determined. The serotype distribution was 28.4% serotype 5, 53.7% type 8, and 17.9% type 336PS. Serotyping was in agreement with genotyping by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and multi locus sequence typing (MLST). Among 49 nasal carriage isolates from healthy children 24.5% belonged to serotype 5, 67.3% were type 8 and 8.2% were type 336PS. For 28 adult patients on chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) the serotype incidences among carriage isolates obtained from the nose, catheter exit-site, and abdominal skin were 45.1%, 41.2% and 13.7%, respectively. Among S. aureus strains deriving from blood cultures, the serotype incidences were 17.7% serotype 5, 53.2% type 8, and 29.0% type 336PS. Apparently, type 336PS strains are more prevalent (P=0.017) among bacteraemia isolates as compared with the nasal carriage isolates obtained from healthy children and CAPD patients. In conclusion, all Dutch S. aureus isolates belonged to types 5, 8, or 336PS, which is in agreement with data from other countries. Thus, addition of the 336PS conjugate to a type 5- and type 8-CP protein conjugate vaccine would significantly extend the vaccine coverage. 相似文献

Fifty MRSA strains originated from clinical specimens were examined by the PCR method, for the presence of three genes: aacA-aphD, aadD oraz aph(3")-IIIa. The obtained results were correlated with the susceptibility of the strains to gentamicin, tobramicin, kanamicin, neomicin, amikacin and netilmicin. The susceptibility results were interpreted according with CLSI and EUCAST guidelines. aacA-aphD gene was found in 34 strains, aadD in 27 strains and aph(3")-IIIa was present in 22 strains. In 19 strains (38%) was present one of the investigated genes, in 29 (58%) strains two genes and in two strains (4%) all three genes were found. The most frequent variant was combination of aacA-aphD and aadD genes. 相似文献

Many serious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus appear to be associated with biofilms. Therefore, we investigated the biofilm-forming ability of the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates collected from hospitalized patients. As many as 96?% strains had the ability to form biofilm in vitro. The majority of S. aureus strains formed biofilm in ica-dependent mechanism. However, 23?% of MRSA isolates formed biofilm in ica-independent mechanism. Half of these strains carried fnbB genes encoding surface proteins fibronectin-binding protein B involved in intercellular accumulation and biofilm development in S. aureus strains. The biofilm structures were examined via confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and three-dimensional structures were reconstructed. The images obtained in CLSM revealed that the biofilm created by ica-positive strains was different from biofilm formed by ica-negative strains. The MRSA population showed a large genetic diversity and we did not find a single clone that occurred preferentially in hospital environment. Our results demonstrated the variation in genes encoding adhesins for the host matrix proteins (elastin, laminin, collagen, fibronectin, and fibrinogen) and in the gene involved in biofilm formation (icaA) within the majority of S. aureus clones. 相似文献

The 31 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were examined for the presence of smr and qacA determinants. The smr gene was found in 15 strains. Fourteen of them were MRSA resistant to quaternary ammonium compounds, ethidium bromide, and acriflavine. One was MSSA strain resistant to ethidium bromide and acriflavine. The qacA gene was found in two MRSA strains resistant to quaternary ammonium compounds, ethidium bromide, chlorhexidine and acriflavine. One of these two strains possessed both smr and qacA genes. 相似文献

The in vitro antimicrobial activities of five compounds isolated from lichens, collected in several Southern regions of Chile (including the Chilean Antarctic Territory), were evaluated alone and in combination with five therapeutically available antibiotics, using checkerboard microdilution assay against methicillin-resistant clinical isolates strains of Staphylococcus aureus. MIC90, MIC50, as well as MBC90 and MBC50, for the lichen compounds were evaluated. The MIC90 was ranging from 32 µg/ml for perlatolic acid to 128 µg/ml for α-collatolic acid. MBC90 was ranging from onefold up to twofold the MIC90 for each compound. A synergistic action was observed in combination with gentamicin, whilst antagonism was observed for some lichen compounds in combination with levofloxacin. All combinations with erythromycin were indifferent, whilst variability was observed for clindamycin and oxacillin combinations. Data from checkerboard assay were analysed and interpreted using the fractional inhibitory concentration index and the response surface approach using the ΔE model. Discrepancies were found between both methods for some combinations. These could mainly be explained by the failure of FIC approach, being too much subjective and sensitive to experimental errors. These findings suggest, however, that the natural compounds from lichens are good candidates for the individuation of novel templates for the development of new antimicrobial agents or combinations of drugs for chemotherapy. 相似文献

The aim of the study was phenotypic and genotypic analysis of 132 S. aureus strains isolated from mastitis in eastern Poland in respect to their biofilm formation ability. The analysis of the size polymorphism of fragment X in the gene encoding protein A (spa) revealed high genetic differentiation of the analyzed group of isolates. The ability of biofilm formation by the isolates was tested using two phenotypic methods. The Congo Red plate assay was found to be irreproducible and very subjective. More objective results were obtained using the spectrophotometric, microtiter plate assay. Most of the isolates, namely 76/132 (57.6 %) were classified as biofilm producers depending on the value of absorbance in the microtiter plate test. All of the isolates tested were found to possess both icaA and icaD genes, while the bap gene was absent in all strains. 相似文献

Methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus; presence of identical additional penicillin-binding protein in all strains examined 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract The methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus MR-1 previously reported to possess a penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP 3) with a decreased affinity for β-lactam antibiotics was re-examined and, in common with other resistant strains, found to contain an additional PBP (PBP 2'). Expression of the additional protein, which has a very low affinity for β-lactams, was not influenced by temperature or osmolarity of the medium in contrast with strains examined previously. It was the only PBP still available to bind radioactive β-lactams and therefore still active enzymically when strain MR-1 was grown in the presence of concentrations of β-lactam antibiotics sufficient to kill sensitive strains of S. aureus . Penicillin-peptides derived by partial proteolysis of PBP 2'-penicillin complexes of MR-1 and 3 other methicillin-resistant strains appeared to be identical and different from the penicillin-peptides derived from PBP 1, PBP 2 and PBP 3, each of which gave rise to a unique series of peptides containing covalently-bound penicillin. 相似文献

The aim of study was the molecular characteristic of S. aureus and S. epidermidis isolates obtained from skin surface, wounds, deep tissues of hospitalized patients and from skin surface of non-hospitalized patients. Genes encoding virulence factors were examined using PCR reaction and specific primers. Genes encoding adhesinsfnbA and cna and gene eta for epidermolytic toxin were mostly present in S. aureus isolates coming from wounds and deep tissues compared to these from skin surface. Gene atlE encoding autolysin of S. epidermidis was detected in all studied isolates, whereas gene icaAB was present in almost all isolates. Comparison of results obtained by PCR and conventional method of the resistance to methicillin estimation showed discrepances suggesting the need for using of both methods in some clinically difficult cases of S. aureus infection. 相似文献

The VISA (vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus) and hetero-VISA strains were found among all isolates of S. aureus obtained in the years 1997-2000. The frequency of VISA was 0.3% and h-VISA was about 3%. Most but not all of the h-VISA and all VISA strains were methicillin resistant. Moreover the usefulness of different methods enabling recognition of the h-VISA strains was compared. 相似文献

Infections caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains are mainly associated with a hospital setting. However, nowadays, the MRSA infections of non-hospitalized patients
are observed more frequently. In order to distinguish them from hospital-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (HA-MRSA) strains, given them the name of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA). CA-MRSA strains most commonly cause skin infections, but may lead to more severe diseases, and consequently the
patient’s death. The molecular markers of CA-MRSA strains are the presence of accessory gene regulator (agr) of group I or III, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type IV, V or VII and genes encoding for Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL). In addition, CA-MRSA strains show resistance
to β-lactam antibiotics. Studies on the genetic elements of CA-MRSA strains have a key role in the unambiguous identification
of strains, monitoring of infections, improving the treatment, work on new antimicrobial agents and understanding the evolution
of these pathogens. 相似文献

Strain ST67P of Staphylococcus hyicus grew diffusely in regular serum-soft agar. With the addition of rabbit antisera prepared with Staph. aureus strains, Smith, NS58D or NS41D, capsular type A, B or C, respectively, the organisms converted to compact type growth. Mice immunized with heat-killed vaccine of strain ST67P showed significant resistance against either homologous or heterologous strains, Smith, NS58D and NS41D. Passive protective activities in rabbit antisera prepared with strains Smith, NS58D and NS41D were absorbed out with either homologous cell surface polysaccharide fraction or cell surface polysaccharide fraction extracted from strain ST67P. Well-defined large capsules were observed in ultra-thin sections treated with rabbit antiserum prepared with homologous strain conjugated with ferritin. Also, the capsule surrounded by ferritin granules was shown in ultra-thin sections treated with ferritin conjugated with antisera prepared with those heterologous strains although the capsular size was significantly smaller than those observed by homologous antiserum. 相似文献
