[Experimental phages for differentiating nontypable methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus]. 1988

E A Zueva, and O A Dmitrenko, and A K Akatov

The possibility of using phages, isolated from the lysogenic cultures of methicillin-resistant staphylococci and modified in methicillin-resistant cultures of phage 85, for the differentiation of nontypable staphylococcal strains has been studied. The variants of phage 85 cannot be used for the determination of differences between the strains of methicillin-resistant cultures; they are not suited for typing. For this purpose the collection of phages isolated from lysogenic methicillin-resistant cultures should be used.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008242 Lysogeny The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium. Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium. Integration, Prophage,Prophage Integration,Integrations, Prophage,Prophage Integrations
D008712 Methicillin One of the PENICILLINS which is resistant to PENICILLINASE but susceptible to a penicillin-binding protein. It is inactivated by gastric acid so administered by injection. Penicillin, Dimethoxyphenyl,Methicillin Hydrate, Monosodium Salt,Methicillin Monohydrate, Monosodium Salt,Methicillin Sodium,Meticillin,Metin,Staphcillin,Dimethoxyphenyl Penicillin
D010403 Penicillin Resistance Nonsusceptibility of an organism to the action of penicillins. Penicillin Resistances,Resistance, Penicillin,Resistances, Penicillin
D001434 Bacteriophage Typing A technique of bacterial typing which differentiates between bacteria or strains of bacteria by their susceptibility to one or more bacteriophages. Phage Typing,Typing, Bacteriophage,Typing, Phage

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.

D014773 Virology The study of the structure, growth, function, genetics, and reproduction of viruses, and VIRUS DISEASES.
D014775 Virus Activation The mechanism by which latent viruses, such as genetically transmitted tumor viruses (PROVIRUSES) or PROPHAGES of lysogenic bacteria, are induced to replicate and then released as infectious viruses. It may be effected by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, including B-cell LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES, glucocorticoid hormones, halogenated pyrimidines, IONIZING RADIATION, ultraviolet light, and superinfecting viruses.
