20 local isolates of enterics belonging to the genera Salmonella, Enterobacter Proteus, Citrobacter from human, chicken and/or egg were characterised for their antibiotic resistance patterns, plasmid profiles, phage types, outer membrane proteins, and lipopolysaccharide patterns. Relatedness of these characteristics for epidemiological analysis was assessed. 18 (90%) strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic and those (multi-drug resistant ones) resisting to two or more antibiotics constituted 50% of all isolates. A common 54 kb plasmid was harboured by 55% of the isolates. 14 isolates showed smooth type lipopolysaccharide. 60% of the 20 isolates contained outer membrane proteins in a molecular weight range of 34.6 to 30.6 kDa. The data reveal the lack of correlation between the characteristics investigated.

Targeted disruption of homoserine dehydrogenase gene in Streptomyces clavuligerus and its effects on cephamycin C production
Çaydaşı (Koca), Ayşe; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2006)
The members of the genus Streptomyces are well-known for their capacity to synthesize a vast repertoire of secondary metabolites, including many useful antibiotics and proteins. Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics such as cephamycin C and the potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. The aspartate pathway of S. clavuligerus is an important primary metabolic pathway providing substrates for β-lactam synthesis. This pathway uses L-aspartic acid as the ...
Proteome-wide analysis of the functional roles of Bacilysin biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis
Taşkın Aras, Aslı; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2010)
The members of the genus Bacillus produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites with antimetabolic and pharmacological activities. Most of these metabolites are small peptides that have unusual components and chemical bonds and synthesized nonribosomally by multifunctional enzyme complexes called peptide synthetases. Bacilysin, being produced and excreted by certain strains of Bacillus subtilis, is one of the simplest peptide antibiotics known. It is a dipeptide with an N-terminal L-alanine and an unusual...
Investigation of cytocidal effect of K5 type yeast killer protein on sensitive microbial cells
Sertkaya, Abdullah; İzgü, Kadri Fatih; Department of Biology (2005)
Some yeasts secrete polypeptide toxins, which are lethal to other sensitive yeast cells, gram-positive pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic fungi. Therefore these are designated as killer toxins. Killer toxins are suggested as potent antimicrobial agents especially for the protection of fermentation process against contaminating yeasts, biological control of undesirable yeasts in the preservation of foods. Moreover they are promising antimicrobial agents in the medical field; due to immune system suppressing ...
Cloning of chitinase a gene (chiA) from serratia marcescens Bn10 and its expression in coleoptera-specific bacillus thuringiensis
Okay, Sezer; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2005)
Chitinases have been shown to be potential agents for biological control of the plant diseases caused by various phytopathogenic fungi and insect pests, because fungal cell walls and insect exoskeletons contain chitin as a major structural component. Chitinase has also been found to increase the efficacy and potency of Bacillus thuringiensis crystal (Cry) proteins toxic to larvae of insect pests. The reason of this synergy is the presence of chitin in the structure of the outer membrane of larval midgut. In...
High hydrostatic pressure induced inactivation kinetics of e. coli o157:h7 and s. aureus in carrot juice and analysis of cell volume change
Pilavtepe, Mutlu; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2007)
The main objective of this study was to determine the pressure induced inactivation mechanism of pressure-resistant Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and Staphylococcus aureus 485 in a low acid food. Firstly, inactivation curves of pathogens were obtained at 200 to 400 MPa at 40ºC in peptone water and carrot juice. First-order and Weibull models were fitted and Weibull model described the inactivation curves of both pathogens more accurately than first-order model, revealing that food systems could exhibit eithe...
