Mediation of Staphylococcus saprophyticus adherence to uroepithelial cells by lipoteichoic acid.
Treatment of uroepithelial cells with lipoteichoic acid from Staphylococcus saprophyticus resulted in a decrease in the adherence of this organism. Similar effects were observed when bacteria were pretreated with the lipoteichoic acid ligands albumin and anti-polyglycerophosphate monoclonal antibodies. Lipoteichoic acid might behave as an adhesin of S. saprophyticus.
متن کاملMediation of staphylococcal adherence to mucosal cells by lipoteichoic acid.
Staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid markedly reduced adherence by Staphylococcus aureus to buccal cells in vitro, suggesting that lipoteichoic acid mediates adherence by that bacterium. Adherence inhibition by lipoteichoic acid was lost after deacylation of the preparation, suggesting that fatty acids on the molecule are essential to binding.
متن کاملAdherence of Staphylococcus epidermidis to fibrin-platelet clots in vitro mediated by lipoteichoic acid.
The adherence of two strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis to human fibrin-platelet clots in vitro was investigated. Both strains were noncapsulated, nonhemagglutinating, and nonslime producers. Binding was not related to surface charge, carbohydrate profile, or hydrophobicity of the bacteria. Adherence was reduced four- to sixfold (P less than 0.001) on pretreatment of bacteria with lipase, wh...
متن کاملLipoteichoic acid suppresses effector T cells induced by Staphylococcus aureus-pulsed dendritic cells.
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), uniquely expressed on gram-positive bacteria, is recognized by Tolllike receptor 2 (TLR2) on not only antigen-presenting cells but also activated T cells. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that LTA is acting on T cells. However, little is known about the effect of LTA on T-cell regulation. In the present study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of LTA on ...
متن کاملLipoteichoic Acid Inhibits Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation
A biofilm is an aggregate of microorganisms in which cells adhere to biological or non-biological surfaces and is responsible for various infectious diseases. Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, including pneumonia, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis, are often associated with colonization and biofilm formation. Although lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is involved in biofilm formation, the specifi...
