Mechanism of coagulase production in Staphylococcus aureus Smith. 1983

S Dekio, and J Jidoi

Coagulase production and release were studied in Staphylococcus aureus Smith using TC Medium 199 containing bovine serum albumin. The bacteria released coagulase continuously in the medium containing serum albumin, but only at the early-mid log phase of growth in the medium not containing serum albumin. In each of the media, coagulase was considered to be a newly synthesized one encoded by a newly synthesized messenger RNA. By the experiments using bacteria pre-treated with acridine orange, it was suggested that the coagulase gene was located on the chromosome. The plasmid regulating coagulase production was considered to be present.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D003030 Coagulase Enzymes that cause coagulation in plasma by forming a complex with human PROTHROMBIN. Coagulases are produced by certain STAPHYLOCOCCUS and YERSINIA PESTIS. Staphylococci produce two types of coagulase: Staphylocoagulase, a free coagulase that produces true clotting of plasma, and Staphylococcal clumping factor, a bound coagulase in the cell wall that induces clumping of cells in the presence of fibrinogen. Staphylocoagulase,Staphylococcal Clumping Factor,Clumping Factor (Staphylococcal),Staphylococcus aureus clone pSCa2 of Coagulase,Staphylococcus aureus strain 213 of Coagulase,Staphylococcus aureus strain 8325-4 of Coagulase,Clumping Factor, Staphylococcal,Factor, Staphylococcal Clumping,Staphylococcus aureus strain 8325 4 of Coagulase
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D000165 Acridine Orange A cationic cytochemical stain specific for cell nuclei, especially DNA. It is used as a supravital stain and in fluorescence cytochemistry. It may cause mutations in microorganisms. Tetramethyl Acridine Diamine,3,6-Bis(dimethylamino)acridine,Acridine Orange Base,Basic Orange 3RN,C.I. 46005,C.I.

D012294 Rifamycins A group of ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS characterized by a chromophoric naphthohydroquinone group spanned by an aliphatic bridge not previously found in other known ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS. They have been isolated from fermentation broths of Streptomyces mediterranei. Rifamycin,Rifomycin,Rifomycins
D012709 Serum Albumin A major protein in the BLOOD. It is important in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure and transporting large organic molecules. Plasma Albumin,Albumin, Serum
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.
