A family of fibrinogen-binding MSCRAMMs from Enterococcus faecalis.
We report that three (EF0089, EF2505 and EF1896, renamed here Fss1, Fss2 and Fss3, respectively, for Enterococcus faecalis surface protein) of the recently predicted MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) in E. faecalis strain V583 bind fibrinogen (Fg). Despite an absence of extensive primary sequence homology, the three proteins appear to be related struc...
متن کاملFibrinogen and mucin binding activity of EF0737, a novel protein of Enterococcus faecalis
Background and Objectives Enterococcus faecalis is the leading cause of several human infections. This opportunist pathogen expresses surface components that have various functions in the infection process including bacterial adhesion, lytic activity, and induction of host immune responses. EF0737, a novel cell wall associated protein, may play an important role in pathogenesis of E. faecalis, ...
متن کاملEnterococcus faecalis Endogenous Endophthalmitis from Valvular Endocarditis
We report a case of a 74-year-old female, with a mitral heart valve, who presented with pain and blurred vision in the right eye for 2 days. Her visual acuity was light perception (LP) in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. Slit lamp examination showed corneal edema and hypopyon, and a view of the right fundus was impossible. Echography showed vitreous condensation. One day after presentat...
متن کاملEffect of Silver Nano-Particle on Removing the Enterococcus faecalis Bacterium isolated from Industrial Resid
Abstract Background and Objectives: Due to the unique absorption and antibacterial properties of nanoparticles, their use in water and wastewater treatment to remove bacteria is spreading. This research aimed to study the effect of silver nanoparticles in the removal of Enterococcus faecalis isolated from industrial sewage. ...
متن کاملYancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis
Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) has become a great deal of recent concern. Although a number of cephalosporins had been synthesized in the past, few of them was effective against these resistant bacteria. Recently, TOC-39and TOC-50^3) bearing vinyl-thio linkage attached by substituted pyridines at C-3 we...
