Draft Genome Sequences and Antimicrobial Profiles of Three Staphylococcus epidermidis Strains from Neonatal Blood Samples.

ABSTRACT: Data on molecular characterization of coagulase-negative staphylococci causing neonatal sepsis in low-income countries are highly limited. This report highlights the isolation of three Staphylococcus epidermidis non-genome assembly strains (NGASs) from blood samples from neonates with unknown transmission sources. Pathogenic factors and sources of transmission of these strains warrant further investigation.

Use of cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences to distinguish strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Project description:We examined the utility of a PCR-based method termed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) to type 35 well-characterized isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The results were compared with detailed epidemiologic information and typing obtained by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). To identify CAPS markers for this study, eight pairs of oligonucleotide primers corresponding to five previously sequenced S. epidermidis genes were synthesized and then used to amplify DNA sequences from the S. epidermidis strains by using PCR. Amplified products were reproducibly obtained for seven of eight primer pairs from chromosomal DNA of 33 of the 35 isolates. Seven restriction site polymorphisms were found in five of the amplified products when they were subjected to digestion with a panel of restriction endonucleases. Each fragment-enzyme combination that was polymorphic demonstrated only two alleles in the 33 S. epidermidis isolates analyzed, corresponding to the presence or absence of a single restriction site. Overall, five distinct combinations of alleles were detected and were designated CAPS types A through E. There was a close correlation between the CAPS grouping, the epidemiologic information for the strains, and grouping by PFGE following SmaI digestion of chromosomal DNA. Although PFGE analysis was more discriminatory than typing based on the limited number of CAPS markers used in this study (isolates from the same CAPS group were sometimes distributed into more than one PFGE group), no isolates from the same PFGE group were found in more than one CAPS group. The CAPS procedure was highly reproducible, in contrast to published experience with arbitrarily primed PCR. These preliminary data suggest that CAPS represents a PCR-based technique for strain typing that is highly reproducible, rapid, utilizes widely available technologies, and provides results that are relatively easy to interpret and express.

Draft Genome Sequences of Three Northern German Epidemic Staphylococcus aureus (ST247) Strains Containing Multiple Copies of IS256.

Project description:We report the draft genome sequences of three multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains of sequence type 247 (ST247). The methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) SA1450/94 is vancomycin susceptible, while the clinical MRSA isolate S. aureus SA137/93A and its spontaneous laboratory mutant SA137/93G are characterized by intermediate vancomycin susceptibility.

Draft Genome Sequences of Three Amino Acid-Secreting Lactococcus lactis Strains.

Project description:Three Lactococcus lactis strains with the ability to secrete various amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, glutamic acid, and histidine) were sequenced in order to identify the mechanisms involved in the secretion. Amino acids contribute to flavor formation; therefore, bacterial strains with this ability are relevant for the food industry.
