TLDR
These proteins show RP62A maintains an active CRISPR-mediated defense, as well as heightened antibiotic resistance in comparison to a non-virulent, non-biofilm forming strain, and may be useful vaccine antigens in clinical settings if administered in at-risk patients prior to surgical implantations.

Antibacterial activity of the non-cytotoxic peptide (p-BthTX-I)2 and its serum degradation product against multidrug-resistant bacteria

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that both peptides analyzed and the product of proteolysis obtained from (p-BthTX-I)2 are promising prototypes as novel drugs to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pan-proteomics, a concept for unifying quantitative proteome measurements when comparing closely-related bacterial strains.

TL;DR: Pan-proteomics as discussed by the authors is an analytical concept that permits the ability to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the proteomes of genetically heterogeneous organisms, and it has been used extensively in the field of microbiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of surface proteins in a clinical Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolate by bacterial surface shaving.

TL;DR: This study has provided novel knowledge about expression of S. haemolyticus surface proteins after direct contact with eukaryotic cells and in media supplemented with serum and identified surface proteins and immune evasive proteins previously only functionally described in other staphylococcal species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Cytoplasmic Bacteriocin Compounds Derived from Staphylococcus epidermidis Selectively Kill Staphylococcus aureus, Including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

TL;DR: This work has extracted a novel thermolabile cytoplasmic bacteriocin from S. epidermidis using trichloroactic acid/acetone precipitation method after cell lysis with a SDS-containing buffer that selectively exhibited antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and MRSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteomic Analysis Reveals a Biofilm-Like Behavior of Planktonic Aggregates of Staphylococcus epidermidis Grown Under Environmental Pressure/Stress

TL;DR: Comparison of the whole proteomic profiles of two methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis strains growing in planktonic and in sessile form to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying biofilm stability and provide preliminary results may inform comparative proteomic strategies in the study of mature bacterial biofilm.

PSORTb 3.0

TL;DR: This work developed PSORTb version 3.0 with improved recall, higher proteome-scale prediction coverage, and new refined localization subcategories, and evaluated the most accurate SCL predictors using 5-fold cross validation plus an independent proteomics analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR Interference Limits Horizontal Gene Transfer in Staphylococci by Targeting DNA

TL;DR: It is shown that CRISPR interference prevents conjugation and plasmid transformation in S. epidermidis and can limit the spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staphylococcus epidermidis — the 'accidental' pathogen

TL;DR: The molecular basis of the commensal and infectious lifestyles of S. epidermidis is discussed, beginning to comprehend the roles in balancing the epithelial microflora and serving as a reservoir of resistance genes.
