Potassium Uptake Modulates Staphylococcus aureus Metabolism
As a leading cause of community-associated and nosocomial infections, Staphylococcus aureus requires sophisticated mechanisms that function to maintain cellular homeostasis in response to its exposure to changing environmental conditions. The adaptation to stress and maintenance of homeostasis depend largely on membrane activity, including supporting electrochemical gradients and synthesis of A...
متن کاملPotassium Uptake Systems in Staphylococcus aureus: New Stories about Ancient Systems
Staphylococcus aureus is a hardy organism that can survive high-salt conditions better than many other bacteria. This characteristic is thought to help S. aureus survive in the nares and on the skin of the human host and is used to selectively propagate and identify Staphylococcus species. However, the mechanism that allows S. aureus to tolerate such high-salt conditions is not well understood....
متن کاملThe Carbohydrate Metabolism of Staphylococcus Aureus*
The rapid growth of staphylococci in the usual laboratory media consisting of meat infusion or meat extract, peptone, buffer, and metabolizable carbohydrate is accompanied by the consumption of sugar and the production of much acid; only relatively slight changes are noted in the nitrogenous constituents (Kendall, Farmer, Bagg, and Day (1)). Kendall, Friedemann, and Ishikawa (2) obtained a yiel...
متن کاملModelling potassium uptake by wheat
A model has been used to simulate potassium (K) uptake by wheat in a pot culture experiment. Three soils from India, namely Alfisol, Inceptisol and Vertisol, were differentially K exhausted by Sudan grass (Surghum vulgare var. Sudanensis) for a period of 280 days and were used to simulate potassium uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum) and also to predict the amounts of K released or fixed during...
متن کاملAntibacterial Effects of Monolaurin, Sorbic Acid and Potassium Sorbate on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
Background: Food borne pathogens are of the main concerns of food producers and consumers and Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus create a lot of problems worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial effects of monolaurin, sorbic acid and potassium sorbate on S. aureus and E. coli at different pH values and NaCl concentrations. Methods: Micro-well dilution assay was us...
