Studies on the Interactions between Components of Staphylococcus Aureus and Staphylococcus Bacteriophage
The cell walls of Staphylococcus aureus are capable of inactivating S. aureus bacteriophage. Furthermore, the cell walls isolated from S. aureus of a given phage type inactivate a variety of different staphylococcal bacteriophages. Under the conditions employed neither the isolated mucopeptide nor teichoic acid components of the cell walls act as bacteriophage receptor.
متن کاملImmunochemical Studies on the Cross-reactivity between Streptococcal and Staphylococcal Mucopeptide
Particulate mucopeptides of Group A-variant streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus, solubilized by ultrasonic treatment, give a precipitin reaction with the sera of rabbits immunized with Group A-variant streptococci. gamma-G globulin antibodies have been recovered from these sera which react with the mucopeptides but not with the Group A-variant carbohydrate. The immunochemical basis for the c...
متن کاملIncorporation of Hydroxylysine into the Cell Wall and a Cell-wall Precursor in Staphylococcus Aureus.
Smith, W. Grady (University of Minnesota, St. Paul), Daniel P. Gilboe, and L. M. Henderson. Incorporation of hydroxylysine into the cell wall and a cell-wall precursor in Staphylococcus aureus. J. Bacteriol. 89:136-140. 1965.-Recent work has shown that hydroxylysine can substitute for lysine in cell-wall synthesis of Streptococcus faecalis, apparently becoming incorporated into cell-wall mucope...
متن کاملCell Wall Component Which Affects the Ability of Serum to Promote Phagocytosis and Killing of Staphylococcus aureus.
The role of various cell wall components of nonencapsulated Staphylococcus aureus in phagocytosis and killing was studied. Adsorption of human serum with S. aureus cell walls, or trypsin-digested cell walls, reduced the rate of phagocytosis and killing of S. aureus by human-blood leukocytes when compared to unadsorbed serum. When the various components of the cell walls were used for adsorption...
متن کاملThe purification and properties of two staphylolytic enzymes from Streptomyces griseus.
1. Two staphylolytic enzymes have been purified from cultures of a soil isolate of Streptomyces griseus. 2. The purified enzymes were shown to be basic proteins of low molecular weight. Each enzyme released N-acetylmuramic acid reducing groups from the cell walls of Staphylococcus aureus. 3. The enzymes lysed whole staphylococci best at higher pH values and lower ionic strengths than when the s...
