Antigen analysis of Staphylococcus aureus strains sensitive and resistant to antibiotics. 1975

A Jagicza, and I Városi, and L Sztankov

The analysis of the antigens produced by the disintegration of Staphylococcus aureus (Wood 46, 211, 223 strains) bacteria treated with antibiotics was carried out by the authors with immunochemical methods. It appears from the analyses strikingly that established resistance produces changes in the antigenic structure. This is manifest in the number of the antigen-antibody systems and, within the multiple system, in the character of certain antigens. The decrease in the number of the precipitogens is considerable. In the case of all the three strains, the presence of an antigen band was shown which is identical in the antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but is not to be found in the antigens of the corresponding antibiotic-sensitive bacteria. The authors' experience shows that one possibility of approaching the problem of antibiotic resistance is to clarify with immunochemical methods the differences found in the protein spectra of the antibiotic-resistant varieties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D007612 Kanamycin Antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces kanamyceticus from Japanese soil. Comprises 3 components: kanamycin A, the major component, and kanamycins B and C, the minor components. Kanamycin A,Kanamycin Sulfate,Kantrex
D010118 Oxytetracycline A TETRACYCLINE analog isolated from the actinomycete STREPTOMYCES RIMOSUS and used in a wide variety of clinical conditions. Hydroxytetracycline,Bisolvomycin,Geomycin,Oxyterracin,Oxyterracine,Oxytetracid,Oxytetracycline Anhydrous,Oxytetracycline Calcium,Oxytetracycline Dihydrate,Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride,Oxytetracycline Monohydrochloride,Oxytetracycline Sulfate (2:1),Oxytetracycline, (4a beta,5 beta,5a beta,12a beta)-Isomer,Oxytetracycline, (5 beta)-Isomer,Oxytetracycline, Anhydrous,Oxytetracycline, Calcium (1:1) Salt,Oxytetracycline, Disodium Salt, Dihydrate,Oxytetracycline, Sodium Salt,Terramycin
D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th ed, p106) Cloranfenicol,Kloramfenikol,Levomycetin,Amphenicol,Amphenicols,Chlornitromycin,Chlorocid,Chloromycetin,Detreomycin,Ophthochlor,Syntomycin
D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS). Antibiotic Resistance,Antibiotic Resistance, Microbial,Antimicrobial Resistance, Drug,Antimicrobial Drug Resistance,Antimicrobial Drug Resistances,Antimicrobial Resistances, Drug,Drug Antimicrobial Resistance,Drug Antimicrobial Resistances,Drug Resistances, Microbial,Resistance, Antibiotic,Resistance, Drug Antimicrobial,Resistances, Drug Antimicrobial
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000937 Antigen-Antibody Reactions The processes triggered by interactions of ANTIBODIES with their ANTIGENS. Antigen Antibody Reactions,Antigen-Antibody Reaction,Reaction, Antigen-Antibody,Reactions, Antigen-Antibody
D000942 Antigens, Bacterial Substances elaborated by bacteria that have antigenic activity. Bacterial Antigen,Bacterial Antigens,Antigen, Bacterial
D013211 Staphylococcus aureus Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
D013307 Streptomycin An antibiotic produced by the soil actinomycete Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting the initiation and elongation processes during protein synthesis. Estreptomicina CEPA,Estreptomicina Clariana,Estreptomicina Normon,Strepto-Fatol,Strepto-Hefa,Streptomycin Grünenthal,Streptomycin Sulfate,Streptomycin Sulfate (2:3) Salt,Streptomycin Sulphate,Streptomycine Panpharma,Strepto Fatol,Strepto Hefa
