This protease had an optimum pH range of 7 to 8, and an optimum reaction temperature of about 40 degrees C.

Resistance to clindamycin in Bacteroides fragilis has been increasing recently. Thirty strains of clindamycin-resistant (including multi-resistant) B. fragilis were collected for study of cross-resistance to beta-lactam agents and beta-lactam--beta-lactamase inhibitor and resistance transferability. Imipenem was the most active drug against these 30 isolates. Resistance to clindamycin was transferred to a recipient in 12 out of 30 donor strains by using filter-mating. Of 12 transconjugants, only three had detectable plasmids by alkaline lysis method and the remaining nine strains lacked plasmids. The transfer frequencies ranged from 10(-4) to 10(-6). The role of plasmid in the resistance transfer was not certain. However, the results suggest that non-plasmid-mediated transfer accounted for the majority of the transfers of clindamycin-resistance of B. fragilis in this study. Tetracycline resistance was co-transferred from six donors. There was no evidence of co-transference of beta-lactam resistance under the selection marker of clindamycin, beta-lactam, or both. Therefore, non-plasmid-mediated transfer may play an important role in dissemination of resistance transfer in B. fragilis in Taiwan.</p>","PeriodicalId":24009,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua Minguo wei sheng wu ji mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20661985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lipopolysaccharide binding and antibacterial activities of a synthetic peptide representing amino acids 90-101 of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein. 代表抗菌/增透蛋白90-101氨基酸的合成肽的脂多糖结合和抗菌活性。

BPI can bind to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and neutralize its toxicity. However, little is known about the specific site and mechanisms of the BPI involved in this LPS binding and antibacterial activities. This study compared the amino acid sequences among BPI, cecropin A, magainin 2, and polymyxin B, and identified a common structure among these four bactericidal agents. They share a basic amphipathic alpha helix motif (Baah). A short peptide that represents amino acids 90-101 of BPI was then synthesized to test if it possessed any LPS binding and antibacterial activities. Results from in vitro lymphocyte culture indicated this peptide was able to inhibit LPS-induced lymphocyte proliferation, suggesting that it may interact with LPS. This LPS binding ability of BPI peptide 90-101 was further supported by the results from HPLC assays which showed the mobility of the peptide shifted in the presence of LPS. Furthermore, the antibacterial spectra of this peptide and cecropin peptide 1-11 were very similar to that of polymyxin B, even though the antibacterial activities of these two peptides were less potent than that of polymyxin B. In addition, the antibacterial activities of these two peptides and polymyxin B were inhibited by free LPS or a high concentration of MgCl2. These results thus suggest that a common structure (Baah) and antibacterial mechanism may be involved in these antibacterial agents.</p>","PeriodicalId":24009,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua Minguo wei sheng wu ji mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20661979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
