Reduced sensitivity of staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of infections in hospitals and vancomycin is used for the treatment of methicillin resistant S, aureus infections. Therefore, imergence of Staphylococcus aureus with reduced sensitivity to vancomycin is a serious problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus with reduced suscep...
متن کاملIncreased overall antibiotic susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus femAB null mutants.
The staphylococcal pentaglycine side chain of the peptidoglycan is reduced to one glycine in femAB null mutants. This is associated with increased susceptibility to methicillin and to a whole range of unrelated antibiotics as well. Genetic evidence suggests that femAB null mutants are only viable because of a compensatory mutation in an unlinked site.
متن کاملArabidopsis mutants with increased sensitivity to aluminum.
Al-sensitive (als) mutants of Arabidopsis were isolated and characterized with the aim of defining mechanisms of Al toxicity and resistance. Most als mutants selected on the basis of root growth sensitivity to Al were recessive, and together the mutants constituted eight complementation groups. Also, in most als mutants, Al sensitivity appeared to be specific for Al relative to La (another triv...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation-sensitive mutants of Micrococcus lysodeikticus.
Micrococcus lysodeikticus strain ATCC 4698 was treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) according to the method of E. A. Adelberg, M. Mandel, and G. C. C. Chen (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 18:88, 1965). Before and after exposure to 100 ,ug of NTG per ml in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-maleic buffer (TM), pH 6, cultures were plated on tryptone, yeast extract, and glucose med...
متن کاملProtein A mutants of Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I was exposed to nitrosoguanidine or ethyl-methanesulfonate, and survivors were screened on nutrient agar plates containing rabbit anti-protein A serum for loss of protein A production. More than half of all protein A-deficient mutants also lacked nuclease, coagulase, alpha hemolysin, fibrinolysin, mannitol utilization, and the phage-type pattern. Mutants with a spec...
