a restriction endonuclease from staphylococcus aureus.a specific endonuclease, sau 3ai, has been partially purified from staphylococcus aureus strain 3a by deae-cellulose chromatography. the enzyme cleaves adenovirus type 5 dna many times, sv40 dna eight times but does not cleave double-stranded phi x174 dna. it recognizes the sequence (see article) and cleaves as indicated by the arrows. evidence is presented that this enzyme plays a role in the biological restriction-modification system of staphylococcus aureus strain 3a.19761005115
epizootic staphylococcal infections in subhuman primates after surgical operation.in late october, 1974, staphylococcus aureus postoperative wound infection was recorded in a nonhuman primate (macaca mulatta) which had recently undergone surgical operation. infection in a second monkey appeared approximately 2 weeks later, and a clustering of 6 cases appeared over the next 3-week period. the clinical spectrum included septicemia in 2 monkeys and skin infection at the surgical incision site of several others. investigation revealed a uniform and consistent association of a pha ...1976132881
neonatal staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome: massive outbreak due to an unusual phage type.a massive outbreak of the staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome due to an organism with an unusual phage pattern, occurred during a 115-day period and involved 68 newborns. generalized exfoliative dermatitis was seen in 24 babies, and staphylococcus aureus was isolated from 23. fourteen isolates were phage typed, with 13 reported as the epidemic strain 29/79/80/3a/3c/54/75. eight babies had generalized scarlatiniform eruption without exfoliation (staphylococcal scarlet fever). cultural data were ...19806447271
purification of liver microsomal cytochrome p-450 isozymes 3a and 6 from imidazole-treated rabbits. evidence for the identity of isozyme 3a with the form obtained by ethanol treatment.two forms of cytochrome p-450 have been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from hepatic microsomes of rabbits treated with imidazole. several criteria indicate that the cytochrome of higher electrophoretic mobility is identical with ethanol-inducible isozyme 3a.

immunoultrastructural studies of human nk cells: ii. effector-target cell binding and phagocytosis.the binding of nk cells to a target cell appears to be a necessary step for nk cell-mediated cytolysis. in this report, we demonstrated effector-target binding by immunoelectron microscopy by using monoclonal antibodies against nk cells (leu-7, leu-11a) and t-cell subsets (leu-2a/t8, leu-3a/t4). the surfaces of nk and k562 cells were characterized by antitransferrin receptor antibody and various lectins. in addition, the controversial phagocytic activity of nk cells was studied by incubation of ...19873578843
can the association of athymic mice (han:nmri-nu) with staphylococcus sciuri prevent infection with staphylococcus aureus? experiences from a field study.an attempt was made to prevent the introduction of staphylococcus aureus into a newly established colony of han:nmri-nu mice by means of preassociation with the rodent-specific staphylococcus sciuri. despite the successful colonization of the mice with s. sciuri the establishment of s. aureus into the colony was not impeded, and abscesses were observed with an increasing frequency until the end of the study. random samples revealed the phage pattern 3a/3c/55/71 or very similar ones. a caretaker ...19892523626

colonization of rabbits with staphylococcus aureus in flocks with and without chronic staphylococcosis.rabbits of 19 rabbitries were examined for the presence of staphylococcus aureus in nine different body sites. seven rabbitries experienced epidemically spreading signs of staphylococcosis while the other 12 rabbitries did not. s. aureus was isolated in all seven flocks that suffered from chronic problems of staphylococcosis and in 11 of the 12 clinically healthy flocks. the mean percentage of infected animals in these two groups was 90 and 43.3%, respectively. s. aureus was isolated from all bo ...199910392776
evolution and function of the neisserial dam-replacing gene.phase variation through slippage-like mechanisms involving homopolymeric tracts depends in part on the absence of dam-methylase in several pathogenic isolates of neisseria meningitidis. in dam-defective strains drg (dam-replacing gene), flanked by pseudo-transposable small repeated elements (sres), replaced dam. we demonstrate that drg encodes a restriction endonuclease (nmebii) that cleaves 5'-gmeatc-3'. drg is also present in 50% of neisseria lactamica strains, but in most of them it is inacti ...200111334887
