Possible virulence factors of Staphylococcus sciuri.
Staphylococcus sciuri is an opportunistic pathogen of controversial clinical significance. The factors that contribute to colonization and/or infection caused by this bacterium have not been studied intensively so far. The present research was carried out in order to study the presence of potential virulence factors in 121 human and animal isolates of this bacterium. Isolates were examined for ...
متن کاملPossible virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus in a mouse septic model.
Twenty clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were examined to elucidate the virulence factors which are directly related to lethality in a mouse septic model. Heat or formalin treatment of the organism abolished the lethal activity of the live organism during challenge intravenously administered via the tail vein. Nevertheless, injection of ten times concentrated culture supernatant fluid ...
متن کاملEffects of Sub-Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Silver Nanoparticles on Some Virulence Factors of Staphylococcus aureus
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have physical and surface properties that could threaten human and environmental health. AgNPs are classified as ‘very toxic’ to eukaryotic organisms and are less toxic to bacteria. The aim of the present study was to study the effects of different sub-minimum inhi...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus virulence factors and disease
The genus Staphylococcus is composed of Gram-positive bacteria with diameters of 0.5-1.5 μm, characterized by individual cocci that divide in more than one plane to form grape-like clusters [1]. These bacteria are non-motile, nonspore forming facultative anaerobes, featuring a complex nutritional requirement for growth [2-4], a low G+C content of DNA (in the range of 30-40 mol%) [5], a toleranc...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. sciuri Strain Z8, Isolated from Human Skin
Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. sciuri strain Z8 was isolated from a skin wound infection of a patient with infective endocarditis. To the best of our knowledge, the genome sequence of the species S. sciuri has not been previously studied. The complete genome sequence of strain Z8 includes a genome of 2,620,868 bp (32.43% GC content) without any plasmids.
