Simplified method for producing pyocins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Good yields of pyocin are obtained when Pseudomonas aeruginosa is grown in Trypticase soy broth (without glucose) (BBL) plus 1% potassium nitrate. As a result, pyocin production for routine epidemiological typing can be done in screw-cap tubes, without mechanical agitation or mitomycin C induction.

Lipopolysaccharide as shield and receptor for R-pyocin-mediated killing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces three different types of bacteriocins: the soluble S-pyocins and the bacteriophage-like F- and R-pyocins. R-pyocins kill susceptible bacteria of the same or closely related species with high efficiency. Five different types of R-pyocins (R1- to R5-pyocins) have been described based on their killing spectra and tail fiber protein sequences. We analyzed the distrib...

Sensitivity of smooth and mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from the same patient to their own pyocins was found to be greater at 20 than at 35 C.
متن کاملDiscovery, characterization and in vivo activity of pyocin SD2, a protein antibiotic from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Increasing rates of antibiotic resistance among Gram-negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa means alternative approaches to antibiotic development are urgently required. Pyocins, produced by P. aeruginosa for intraspecies competition, are highly potent protein antibiotics known to actively translocate across the outer membrane of P. aeruginosa. Understanding and exploiting the mechan...
متن کاملAntibacterial efficacy of R-type pyocins towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a murine peritonitis model.
R-type pyocins are high-molecular-weight bacteriocins carried within the chromosomes of some bacterial species, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and almost certainly evolved from lysogenic bacteriophages of the Myoviridae family. They contain no head structures and no DNA and are used as defense systems, usually against other strains of the same bacterial species. They bind with their tail fiber...
متن کاملRetargeting R-type pyocins to generate novel bactericidal protein complexes.
R-type pyocins are high-molecular-weight bacteriocins that resemble bacteriophage tail structures and are produced by some Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. R-type pyocins kill by dissipating the bacterial membrane potential after binding. The high-potency, single-hit bactericidal kinetics of R-type pyocins suggest that they could be effective antimicrobials. However, the limited antibacterial sp...
