The production of type 5 capsular polysaccharide by Staphylococcus aureus in synthetic media was investigated. The influence of medium components on capsular polysaccharide synthesis appeared to relate to the presence or absence of the component rather than to concentration gradient. The production of type 5 capsular polysaccharide was linked to energy availability and energy source, but not to carbohydrate concentration or carbon/nitrogen ratio. Regulation of capsular polysaccharide production by S. aureus in response to medium changes would appear to differ from that typically displayed in other organisms that produce polysaccharides. 相似文献

Production of type 5 capsular polysaccharide by Staphylococcus aureus grown in a semi-synthetic medium 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The concentration of the type 5 capsular polysaccharide (CP) antigen of Staphylococcus aureus can be measured directly in cultures or cell suspensions by a two-step inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using monoclonal antibodies. CP was synthesized during growth on a variety of carbon substrates and its production was not affected by the nature of the carbon source. High levels of yeast extract inhibited CP formation. CP was synthesized in batch culture at the same rate during exponential growth as in the post-exponential phase. Post-exponential CP production contributed at least half the final amount of CP measured. This phenomenon was observed in different culture media, although the specific yield of polysaccharide varied from one medium to another. Post-exponential CP production was observed in the pH range 6-7, but not at pH 8. Post-exponential production was strictly dependent on oxygen availability and did not occur under anaerobic conditions. 相似文献

Capsular polysaccharide (CP) plays an important role in the pathogenicity and immunogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus, yet the common serotypes of S. aureus isolated from US pediatric patients have not been reported. We investigated capsular serotype as well as methicillin susceptibility, presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), and clonal relatedness of pediatric S. aureus isolates. Clinical isolates were tested for methicillin susceptibility, presence of mecA, lukS-PV and lukF-PV, cap5 and cap8 genes by PCR, and for capsular or surface polysaccharide expression (CP5, CP8, or 336 polysaccharide) by agglutination. Genetic relatedness was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. All S. aureus isolates encoded cap5 or cap8. Sixty-nine percent of 2004-2005 isolates were methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and most expressed a detectable capsule. The majority of MRSA isolates (82%) were unencapsulated, exposing an expressed cell wall techoic acid antigen 336. Pulsed-field type USA300 were MRSA, PVL-positive, unencapsulated strains that were associated with deep skin infections and recurrent disease. Over half (58%) of all isolates from invasive pediatric dermatologic infections were USA300. All pediatric isolates contained either capsule type 5 or capsule type 8 genes, and roughly half of the S. aureus clinical disease isolates from our population were diverse MSSA-encapsulated strains. The majority of the remaining pediatric clinical disease isolates were unencapsulated serotype 336 strains of the PVL(+) USA300 community-associated-MRSA clone. 相似文献

The phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients were investigated. Slime production, cell-surface hydrophobicity, type of capsular polysaccharide, profile of heteroresistance to methicillin and Sma I restriction profiles were evaluated. S. aureus CF strains have been shown to be heterogeneous in respect to several important features. All of them were slime producing with variation in colony morphology. High or moderate cell-surface hydrophobicity (CSH) was found for, respectively, 16.2% and 83.8% strains. Thirty strains were resistant to methicillin, 60% of them showed heteroresitance and 40% were homoresistant. It was found that 59.6% of strains produced capsular polysaccharides (CP) of 5 or 8 type. Among CP5/CP8 strains, CP8 was the predominant type (81.1%). Typing of 62 CF strains by macrorestriction analysis of chromosomal DNA revealed several major types, differing in their SmaI profiles with a similarity coefficient lower than 0.4. Some of the strains isolated from the same patient at different times of hospitalization, as well as strains isolated at the same time from the relatives, were identical in their PFGE pattern. 相似文献

The production of industrially relevant microbial polysaccharides has recently gained much interest. The capsular polysaccharide
of Escherichia coli K4 is almost identical to chondroitin, a commercially valuable biopolymer that is so far obtained from animal tissues entailing
complex and expensive extraction procedures. In the present study, the production of capsular polysaccharide by E. coli K4 was investigated taking into consideration a potential industrial application. Strain physiology was first characterized
in shake flask experiments to determine the optimal culture conditions for the growth of the microorganism and correlate it
to polysaccharide production. Results show that the concentration of carbon source greatly affects polysaccharide production,
while the complex nitrogen source is mainly responsible for the build up of biomass. Small-scale batch processes were performed
to further evaluate the effect of the initial carbon source concentration and of growth temperatures on polysaccharide production,
finally leading to the establishment of the medium to use in following fermentation experiments on a bigger scale. The fed-batch
strategy next developed on a 2-L reactor resulted in a maximum cell density of 56 gcww/L and a titre of capsular polysaccharide equal to 1.4 g/L, approximately ten- and fivefold higher than results obtained in
shake flask and 2-L batch experiments, respectively. The release kinetics of K4 polysaccharide into the medium were also explored
to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying a complex aspect of the strain physiology. 相似文献

Abstract In order to check the relationship between capsular polysaccharide (CP) type 5 and 8 and certain phage patterns, previously described in human Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates, we typed 100 CP types 5 and 8 S. aureus strains isolated from cow, goat and ewe milk, with the human set of phages. The proportion of typable strains was much less than that found with human strains. The association between CP types 5 and 8 and phage patterns reported for human isolates was only partially confirmed and an original correlation between susceptibility to group III phages and CP type 5 was found. 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

In the process the cultivation of H. influenzae, type b, in semisynthetic nutrient medium with aminopeptide base the growth of the bacteria and the synthesis of capsular polysaccharide were shown to depend on the concentrations of aminopeptide, nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NAD) and hemin. An increase in the concentrations of NAD and hemin stimulated the growth of H. influenzae and inhibited the synthesis of capsular polysaccharide. Similar effect was observed in the simultaneous increase of NAD and hemin concentrations. At elevated concentrations of NAD and hemin and the content of aminopeptide equal to 350 mI/l the maximum weight of biomass was achieved. The increase of hemin concentration had no influence on the growth of H. influenzae, type b, and the synthesis of capsular polysaccharide. 相似文献

N-Acetyl-l-fucosamine is a constituent of surface polysaccharide structures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The three P. aeruginosa enzymes WbjB, WbjC, and WbjD, as well as the S. aureus homologs Cap5E, Cap5F, and Cap5G, involved in the biosynthesis of N-acetyl-l-fucosamine have been overexpressed and purified to near homogeneity. Capillary electrophoresis (CE), mass spectroscopy (MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy have been used to elucidate the biosynthesis pathway, which proceeds in five reaction steps. WbjB/Cap5E catalyzed 4,6-dehydration of UDP-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and 3- and 5-epimerization to yield a mixture of three keto-deoxy-sugars. The third intermediate compound was subsequently reduced at C-4 to UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-l-talose by WbjC/Cap5F. Incubation of UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-l-talose (UDP-TalNAc) with WbjD/Cap5G resulted in a new peak separable by CE that demonstrated identical mass and fragmentation patterns by CE-MS/MS to UDP-TalNAc. These results are consistent with WbjD/Cap5G-mediated 2-epimerization of UDP-TalNAc to UDP-FucNAc. A nonpolar gene knockout of wbjB, the first of the genes associated with this pathway, was constructed in P. aeruginosa serotype O11 strain PA103. The corresponding mutant produced rough lipopolysaccharide devoid of B-band O antigen. This lipopolysaccharide deficiency could be complemented with P. aeruginosa wbjB or with the S. aureus homolog cap5E. Insertional inactivation of either the cap5G or cap5F genes abolished capsule polysaccharide production in the S. aureus strain Newman. Providing the appropriate gene in trans, thereby complementing these mutants, fully restored the capsular polysaccharide phenotype. 相似文献

A fermentation process to increase type capsular polysaccharide production by different serotypes of Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus) was established. As sialic acid is an integral component of the polysaccharide, its synthesis was used to monitor polysaccharide, its synthesis was used to monitor polysaccharide production. Culture conditions, examined both on laboratory and pilot-plant scales, allowed optimal bacterial growth and high polysaccharide production in a medium composed of ultrafiltered Todd Hewitt broth supplemented with 2% (w/v) glucose and 1.5% (w/v) Na2HPO4, at a constant pH of 7.2. Studies using different gas atmospheres (air, CO2 or their mixture) showed that air greatly enhanced polysaccharide production.

Staphylococcus aureus strain M produces large amounts of capsular polysaccharide. It produces a non-encapsulated variant at a frequency of 0.01% at 37 degrees C. At high temperature (43 degrees C), the frequency of capsule loss was shown to be 1-38%. A 19 kb plasmid and a prophage were found to be carried by the M strain, but curing of these elements did not affect capsular production. To clone the capsular (cap) genes, a plasmid library of S. aureus M was constructed directly in S. aureus RN4200. The library was then infected with phage 80 alpha. After transduction of the phage lysates to a Cap- mutant derived from M strain, a recombinant plasmid was obtained which complemented the mutant to a Cap+ phenotype. Chromosomal walking experiments were used to clone additional nearby cap genes. Complementation tests using a collection of Cap- mutants showed that most of the mutants were complemented by a 19.4 kb DNA fragment, suggesting that the majority of the cap genes affecting capsule production are clustered together. 相似文献

Capsules are produced by over 90% of Staphylococcus aureus strains, and approximately 25% of clinical isolates express type 5 capsular polysaccharide (CP5). We mutagenized the type 5 strain Reynolds with Tn918 to target genes involved in CP5 expression. From a capsule-deficient mutant, we cloned into a cosmid vector an approximately 26-kb EcoRI fragment containing the transposon insertion. In the absence of tetracycline selection, Tn918 was spontaneously excised, thereby resulting in a plasmid containing 9.4 kb of S. aureus DNA flanking the Tn918 insertion site. The 9.4-kb DNA fragment was used to screen a cosmid library prepared from the wild-type strain. Positive colonies were identified by colony hybridization, and a restriction map of one clone (pJCL19 with an approximately 34-kb insert) carrying the putative capsule gene region was constructed. Fragments of pJCL19 were used to probe genomic DNA digests from S. aureus strains of different capsular serotypes. Fragments on the ends of the cloned DNA hybridized to fragments of similar sizes in most of the strains examined. Blots hybridized to two fragments flanking the central region of the cloned DNA showed restriction fragment length polymorphism. A centrally located DNA fragment hybridized only to DNA from capsular types 2, 4, and 5. DNA from pJCL19 was subcloned to a shuttle vector for complementation studies. A 6.2-kb EcoRI-ClaI fragment complemented CP5 expression in a capsule-negative mutant derived by mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate. These experiments provide the necessary groundwork for identifying genes involved in CP5 expression by S. aureus. 相似文献

Survey of taurine uptake and metabolism in Staphylococcus aureus 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Taurine has been reported to be a component of the capsular polysaccharide of the encapsulated M strain of Staphylococcus aureus. This led to a study of the uptake and metabolism of [1,2-14C]taurine in a variety of encapsulated and unencapsulated S. aureus strains. Taurine was taken up by all strains studied. A discrepancy between uptake measured as depletion of radioactivity from growth medium and as cell-associated radioactivity suggested that taurine may be catabolized to CO2 in some strains. In most strains, cell-associated radioactivity was located mainly in cold TCA-soluble (pool metabolites) fractions. About 90% of the cell-associated radioactivity was present in the pool metabolites fraction in the M strain, and about 10% in hot TCA-soluble (nucleic acid-teichoic acid-capsular polysaccharide) fraction. Radioactivity in spent medium and the capsular polysaccharide-containing fraction appeared to be present as taurine in this strain. Radioactivity in the pool metabolites fraction of three of the strains examined did not chromatograph as taurine, indicating that taurine was converted into other cell metabolites. One strain incorporated radioactivity from taurine into cellular macromolecules, thus revealing a heterogeneity of staphylococcal taurine metabolism. 相似文献

Development and scale-up of a fed-batch process for the production of capsular polysaccharide from Haemophilus influenzae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The production of the capsular polysaccharide, polyribosylribitolphosphate, from Haemophilus influenzae type b is important for the production of effective conjugate vaccines. Factors limiting the production of this polysaccharide from H. influenzae type b in liquid culture were investigated. A fed-batch fermentation was developed that increased cell density and PRP titer approximately four fold when compared to the batch fermentation. This fed-batch process was successfully scaled from the 1.5 l development scale to the 500 l manufacturing scale. The maximum cell density in the 500 l fermentation was 6 g dry cell weight per liter and the PRP concentration was 1.3 g l(-1). 相似文献
