autolytic activity and plasma binding study of aap, a novel minor autolysin of streptococcus pneumoniae
pneumococcal autolysins are enzymes involved in cell wall turnover and cellular division physiologically. they have been found to be involved in the pneumococcus pathogenesis. the aim of this study was to identify the autolytic activity of spr1754 as a novel protein of streptococcus pneumoniae . moreover, the binding of the recombinant protein to plasma proteins was also determined. the spr1754...
متن کاملCharacterization of plasmin(ogen) binding to Streptococcus pneumoniae.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The proteolytic activity of plasmin promotes migration of pathogenic bacteria through the human extracellular matrix. The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae binds both human plasminogen and plasmin via the surface displayed alpha-enolase designated Eno. Electron microscopic studies verified the surface exposition of the glycolytic enzyme alpha-enolase and moreover, ...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of penicillin-binding protein 1b from Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The widespread use of antibiotics has encouraged the development of drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria. In order to overcome this problem, the modification of existing antibiotics and/or the identification of targets for the design of new antibiotics is currently being undertaken. Bifunctional penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are membrane-associated molecules whose transpeptidase (TP) act...
متن کاملCloning of Minor Autolysin of Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Abstract Background and Objective: Increased antibiotic resistant strains and inadequacy of current vaccines against pneumococcal infections necessitate the study of novel protein antigens. It seems that minor autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae may have antigenicity. Thus, we aimed at cloning its gene for the first time. Material and Methods: After DNA extraction of Streptococcus pneumoniae ...
متن کاملPhenotypic characterization of Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilm development.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is among the most common pathogens associated with chronic otitis media with effusion, which has been hypothesized to be a biofilm disease. S. pneumoniae has been shown to form biofilms, however, little is known about the developmental process, the architecture, and the changes that occur upon biofilm development. In the current study we made use of a continuous-culture...
