The Plasma Membrane of Staphylococcus Aureus
نویسنده
چکیده
As electron microscopic techniques have improved, the fine structure of bacterial cells has come to be understood more clearly. There are, however, many details yet to be elucidated. I propose to report here some observations on the plasma membrane of Staphylococcus aureus, using sectioning techniques. Bradfield (1956) has already described some structural features of Staphylococcus aureus using the thin sectioning method.

Bioactivity Determination of Recombinant lysostaphin Immobilized on Glass Surfaces Modified by Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Staphylococcus aureus
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is a source of nosocomial infections and one of the significant concerns in patients with indwelling devices. Lysostaphin is a bacterially produced endopeptidase with a unique activity on S. aureus. Plasma, the fourth state of the material, consists of charged ions, free electrons, and activated neutral species. Biomedical applications of cold plasma are rapi...
متن کاملAssessment of anti-bacterial activity of non-thermal plasma in sterilization of infectious wastes
In today's world, the production of hospital wastes and their adverse effects such as infectious outbreaks and resistance to treatment is an important issue. Therefore, it's vital to find a new and efficient method to manage such wastes. In this study, the ability of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to deactivate Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus bacter...
متن کاملFurther Studies on the Plasma Membrane of Staphylococcus Aureus
Robertson has proposed the concept that all biological membranes have the same "uni t structure" (Robertson, 1957 and 1959; Moody and Robertson, 1960). In an early study (Suganuma, 1961), the plasma membrane of Staphylococcus aureus was seen as only a single line with an over-all thickness of about 50 A. However, in a later paper (Suganuma, 1964), it was reported that the plasma membrane of the...
متن کاملReceptors for endogenous and heterogenous hydroxamate siderophores in Staphylococcus aureus B 471.
In Staphylococcus aureus B47 grown in iron-restricted medium, six new, iron-regulated proteins occurred in cytoplasmic membrane. Protein of 14kDa has bound two complexes of iron: Fe(III)-staphylobactin and Fe(III)-acinetoferrin. Complexes of Fe(llI)-ferrichrome and Fe(III)-rhodotorulic acid were not bound to any of new membrane protein. Iron of Fe(III)-staphylobactin and Fe(IIl)-acinetoferrin c...

We compared the cell membrane (CM) lipid composition among nine well-characterized daptomycin-susceptible (Dap(s))/Dap-resistant (Dap(r)) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain pairs. Compared to the 9 Dap(s) parental strains, Dap(r) strains (with or without mprF-yycFG mutations) exhibited significantly reduced phosphatidylglycerol (PG) content (P < 0.01), significantly incre...
