Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
2.3.2.17 medicine in 40 methicillin-susceptible and 6 resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, the FemA content or its affinity to the antibodies is reduced compared to laboratory parent strains. In susceptible strains, an additional protein of higher molecular weight, present in large quantities, is also able to bind the FemA antibodies. Such a protein is also present in methicillin-resistant isolates, although it is not as pronounced as in the susceptible strains Staphylococcus aureus

General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
2.3.2.17 metabolism all investigated strains, either methicillin-resistant or susceptible, express FemA during the exponential growth phase in varying amounts. In the stationary phase, the FemA content is diminished. Strains in which FemA is inactivated by insertion of Tn551 into the control region of the FemAB operon still express about 10% of the protein compared to their parent strains. Tn551 insertion in the middle of the femB gene does not affect the FemA expression Staphylococcus aureus
