SlyA is a transcriptional regulator involved in the virulence of Enterococcus faecalis.
Phylogenetic analysis of the crystal structure of the Enterococcus faecalis SlyA (EF_3002) transcriptional factor places it between the SlyA and MarR regulator subfamilies. Proteins of these families are often involved in the regulation of genes important for bacterial virulence and stress response. To gather evidence for the role of this putative regulator in E. faecalis biology, we dissected ...
متن کاملStructure, Function, and Biology of the Enterococcus faecalis Cytolysin
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive commensal member of the gut microbiota of a wide range of organisms. With the advent of antibiotic therapy, it has emerged as a multidrug resistant, hospital-acquired pathogen. Highly virulent strains of E. faecalis express a pore-forming exotoxin, called cytolysin, which lyses both bacterial and eukaryotic cells in response to quorum signals. Originally...
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...
متن کاملEnterococcus faecalis endocarditis.
The increasing usage of cephalosporins, to which the enterococci are resistant, has resulted in the rising number of enterococcal infections worldwide. Enterococci are a normal part of the flora of the human gastrointestinal tract, buccal cavity, perineal skin, vagina, urethra and gallbladder, but may occur as pathogens in a number of sites causing urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infe...
