Purification and characterization of OXA-23 from Acinetobacter baumannii

Although the existence of bla_OXA-23 is reported in various parts of the world, the product of bla_OXA-23 gene, OXA-23, has not been purified and its kinetic properties are not known. In this study, OXA-23 of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from Kocaeli University intensive care unit was characterized after purification using recombinant methods. Preliminary results showed that conventional protein purification methods were not effective for purification of OXA-23. Therefore, OXA-23 was fused to maltose-binding protein of Escherichia coli, the fused protein was expressed and purified to homogeneity. Kinetic properties of the pure protein were then studied with substrates e.g., imipenem, meropenem, cefepime, ceftazidime, ampicilline, piperacillin, penicillin G, and nitrocefin. Also clavulanic acid, tazobactam, and sulbactam concentrations that inhibit 50% of OXA-23 enzyme activity were calculated. Modelling of OXA-23 revealed its ionic surface structure, conformation in the fused form and its topology allowing us to make predictions for OXA-23 substrate specificity.     

Characterization of two bacteriophages specific to Acinetobacter baumannii and their effects on catheters biofilm

Multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii cause major nosocomial infections. Bacteriophages that are specific to the bacterial species and destroy bacteria can be effectively used for treatment. In this study, we characterized lytic bacteriophages specific to A. baumannii strains. We isolated lytic bacteriophages from environmental water samples and then investigated their morphology, host range, growth characteristics, stability, genome analysis, and biofilm destruction on the catheter surface. Our results showed that the efficacy of the phages varied between 32% and 78%, tested on 78 isolates of A. baumannii; 80 phages were isolated, and two lytic bacteriophages, vB_AbaP_HB01 (henceforth called C2 phage) and vB_AbaM_HB02 (henceforth called K3 phage), were selected for characterization. Electron microscopy scans revealed that the C2 and K3 phages were members of the Podoviridae and Myoviridae families, respectively. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the sequence of the C2 phage is available in the NCBI database (accession number: OP917929.1), and it was found sequence identity with Acinetobacter phage AB1 18%, the K3 phage DNA sequence is closely related to Acinetobacter phage vB_AbaM_phiAbaA1 (94% similarity). The cocktail of C2 and K3 phages demonstrated a promising decrease in the bacterial cell counts of the biofilm after 4 h. Under a scanning electron microscope, the cocktail treatment destructed the biofilm on the catheter. We propose that the phage cocktail could be a strong alternative to antibiotics to control the A. baumannii biofilm in catheter infections.

目的探讨杭州市第一医院危重病房耐碳青霉烯酶鲍曼不动杆菌之间的同源性,进行分子流行病学调查,旨在为制定预防和控制其院内感染的措施提供依据。方法收集该院危重病房2005年1月至12月分离到的34株亚胺培南耐药鲍曼不动杆菌。采用全自动微生物分析系统VITEK-AMS60对34株耐碳青霉烯酶鲍曼不动杆菌进行鉴定及药敏;用琼脂稀释法和E-test法测定14种抗菌药物的最低抑菌浓度(MIC),脉冲场凝胶电泳(PF-GE)分析其耐药株的同源性,对碳青霉烯类基因OXA-23型、OXA-24型、IMP型、VIM型基因进行PCR扩增及序列分析。结果PFGE发现34株鲍曼不动杆菌菌株为同一耐药克隆株,在危重病房呈爆发流行。所有对亚胺培南耐药鲍曼不动杆菌明确产OXA-23型碳青霉烯酶,未检出OXA-24、IMP、VIM基因型。34株菌株质粒提取未成功。结论该院同一个耐药克隆株在危重病房不同患者身上流行,可能与行气管插管、呼吸机、氧气湿化瓶、护士手操作有关。     

Isolation and characterization of wide host range lytic bacteriophage AP22 infecting Acinetobacter baumannii

Wallemia sebi is a xerotolerant, ubiquitous, food-borne, mycotoxigenic fungus. An ethanol extract of its mycelium demonstrated a strong hemolytic activity, which was further enhanced at high salt concentrations in the growth medium. Characterization of the extract using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed a mixture of sterols and unsaturated fatty acids, indicating the latter as responsible for the hemolytic activity. The lytic activity of the extract is here studied using red blood cells and artificial small lipid vesicles with various lipid compositions. This shows concentration-dependent hemolysis and preferential activity toward lipid membranes with greater fluidity. The W.?sebi lytic activity on mammalian erythrocytes shows its potential involvement in the formation of lesions in subcutaneous infections, in farmer's lung disease, and in consumption of food and feed that are contaminated with food-borne W.?sebi.     

Characterization of closely related lactococcal starter strains which show differing patterns of bacteriophage sensitivity

AIMS: To characterize a group of closely related Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis casein starter strains used commercially, which differ in their sensitivity to bacteriophages isolated from the same industrial environment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nine strains of L. lactis, six of which had been used as starter cultures for lactic casein manufacture, were shown to be closely related by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and total DNA profiles. Nineteen phages which propagated on one or more of these starter strains were isolated from industrial casein whey samples. The phages were all small isometric-headed and could be divided into five groups on the basis of host range on the nine strains. Most of the phages did not give a PCR product with primers designed to detect the two most common lactococcal small isometric phage species (936 and P335). The hosts could be divided into six groups depending on their phage sensitivity. Plasmids encoding genes for the cell envelope associated PI-type proteinase, lactose metabolism and specificity subunits of a type I restriction/modification system were identified. CONCLUSIONS: This work demonstrates how isolates of the same starter strain may come to be regarded as separate cultures because of their different origins, and how these closely related strains may differ in some of their industrially relevant characteristics. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This situation may be very common among lactococci used as dairy starter cultures, and implies that the dairy industry worldwide depends on a small number of different strains.
