-Gram+ bacterial pathogens:
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
- Staphylococcus aureus:
HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS
95% penicillin resistant
50% methicillin resistant
Vancomycin resistance on the rise
-Anti-infective compounds
-Block tissue attachment
-Keep bacteria from hiding from the immune system
-Work on antibiotic-resistant strains
-Less likely to lead to resistance
-Compounds don’t kill bacteria Less selective pressure
S. aureus
adhering to host
tissue
S. aureus
infecting wound
tissue
-Highly conserved
in G+ bacteria
-High Throughput
Screening (HTS)
assays
-Test potential drug
candidates
-Bacteria growth inhibition assays
Incubate strains in the
presence of the inhibiting
compound, or a control
Measure optical density of
each treatment

-Surface protein assays
Western blot for protein A
Protein A: Surface factor that
inhibits phagocytes from
engulfing the bacterium
-Grow S. aureus in presence or
absence of sortase-inhibiting
compounds
-Control (no compounds)
-6054217
-6959776
-7570470
-Berberine chloride (known
inhibitor of sortase)
-Harvest by centrifugation, retain
supernatant
-Resuspend cells in Tris-HCl and EDTA
-Lyse cells with lysostaphin and add
DNase
-Dilute 10X and add gel loading dye
with SDS to cell lysate and to
supernatant, boil samples
-Run samples (and marker) on an
SDS polyacrylamide gel
Protein A:
50 kDa when cut at LPXTGX
56.7 kDa when uncut
-Place gel in a transfer cassette
with a PVDF membrane
-Develop with antibodies

Intensity and Size
- Harvest cells during exponential
phase of growth
- Do an assay for another surface
protein (fibrinogen clumping assay)
-Surface protein assays
Fibrinogen assay
Clumping factor/fibrinogen binding
proteins anchored in cell wall:
-Recognize and bind to fibrinogen in blood, forming
clumps.
-Promote attachment to blood clots and traumatized tissue
-Grow S. aureus in presence or
absence of sortase-inhibiting
compounds
-Control (no compounds)

-Harvest by centrifugation, retain cells
-Resuspend cells in solution containing
fibrinogen
-Measure optical density over time
O.D. Decreases  Fibrinogen clumping  Proteins present  Sortase Active
O.D. Constant  Fibrinogen not clumping  Proteins not present  Sortase Inactive
-Compounds do not inhibit growth of S.

-Assay for protein A needs to be more
refined
-Fibrinogen assay shows promise
-Compounds do not inhibit growth of S.
