Comparison of staphylococcal clumping factor and protein A.
Protein A (3, 8) and the clumping factor (bound coagulase; 1) of Staphylococcus aureus share common characteristics, yet, to our knowledge, they have not been compared to determine possible identity. Both are protein, antigenic, cell surface components of S. aureus but not of S. epidermidis, and both are released into the culture medium as growth develops. Protein A is a common agglutinogen of ...
متن کاملStaphylococcal Clumping with Soluble Fibrin Monomer Complexes
Clumping reaction, using standard suspension of Staph. aureus Newman D-2-C strain and various substrates, was quantitatively tested. It has been shown that clumping occurs in fibrin lysate containing soluble fibrin monomer complexes unclottable by thrombin. The reaction was positive with staphylococcal strains possessing clumping factor regardless of staphylocoagulase production. Clumping react...
متن کاملForce-Induced Strengthening of the Interaction between Staphylococcus aureus Clumping Factor B and Loricrin
Bacterial pathogens that colonize host surfaces are subjected to physical stresses such as fluid flow and cell surface contacts. How bacteria respond to such mechanical cues is an important yet poorly understood issue. Staphylococcus aureus uses a repertoire of surface proteins to resist shear stress during the colonization of host tissues, but whether their adhesive functions can be modulated ...
متن کاملFactors affecting the demonstration of staphylococcal free coagulase and clumping factor.
With the use of Phenol Red Mannitol (PRM) Broth (Difco) as a basal medium, rather than Trypticase Soy (TS) Broth (BBL), we were able to modify a previously described plasma-fibrinogen-soft agar medium (S. Y. Alami and F. C. Kelly, J. Bacteriol. 78:539, 1959) for the simultaneous demonstration of mannitol fermentation (MF), free coagulase (FC), and clumping factor (CF) production by staphylococc...
متن کاملDemonstration of staphylococcal clumping factor and free coagulase in soft agar media.
Of the methods now available for the detection of coagulase positive staphylococei, none is designed to show both clumping factor and free coagulase activity in a single system. The observations reported here are by-products of a search for variant strains of staphylococci with particular reference to strain differences in the cell surface component known as clumping factor or bound coagulase. ...
