چکیده مقاله :
سابقه و هدف: استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس یک پاتوژن فرصت‌طلب و یکی از مهم‌ترین عوامل تهدید کننده سلامت در سطح جهان است. بیان عوامل بیماری زایی باکتری ها در شرایط محیط‌های کشت آزمایشگاهی و شرایط in vivo یکسان نیست. هدف از مطالعه حاضر ارزیابی اثرات افزودن 5٪ سرم گوساله بر بیان ژن‌های ویرولانس استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس است.مواد و روش ها: میزان بیان ژن‌های agrA،RNAIII ، hla، spa و mecA در مدت رشد جدایه های‌های استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس در محیط کشت BHI براث و BHI براث غنی شده با 5 درصد سرم گوساله و در فازهای مختلف رشد تعیین شد. به این منظور منحنی رشد 5 جدایه از باکتری استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس در دو شرایط محیطی مختلف رسم شد. سپسRNA از فازهای مختلف رشد استخراج و میزان بیان ژن‌های یادشده با real-time PCR مورد آنالیز قرار گرفت.یافته ها: به طور میانگین در انتقال از فاز لگاریتمی به سکون میزان بیان ژن‌های agrA و RNAIII در محیط سرم‌دار به ترتیب 3.4 و 9.5 برابر افزایش داشت، اما سیستم agr نتوانست نقش تنظیمی خود را بر بیان ژن‌های ویرولانس به خوبی بازی کند. به این صورت که میزان بیان ژن hla با کاهش 0.81 برابری نشان داد و میزان بیان ژن‌های spa و mecA به ترتیب تنها افزایش 1.25 و1.03 برابری را داشتند.نتیجه گیری: صرف نظر از فاز رشد بیان همه ژن‌ها در محیط BHI براث حاوی سرم گوساله نسبت به محیط BHI براث افزایش نشان داد. از این رو به نظر می رسد که استافیلوکوکوس اورئوس در حضور فاکتورهای موجود در سرم گوساله توانایی القای بیان ژن‌های ویرولانس را مشابه با شرایط in vivo داشته باشد.
Background & Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen and one of the most important health-threatening agents worldwide. Expression of bacterial virulence factors is not similar in laboratory medium conditions and in vivo. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of adding 5% calf serum on the virulence genes expression of S. aureus. Materials & Methods: The expression levels of agrA, RNAIII, hla, spa, and mecA genes were determined during the growth of S. aureus isolates in BHI broth and BHI broth enriching with calf serum during different growth phases. Therefore, the growth curve of the five isolates of S. aureus in two different culture conditions was plotted. Subsequently, RNA was extracted from different phases of growth and the genes expression were analyzed by Real-time PCR. Results: In average, the expression levels of agrA and RNAIII from stationary phase to the exponential phase in BHI broth containing calf serum was increased 3.4 and 9.5-fold, respectively, while the agr system could not appropriately play its regulatory role in the expression of virulence genes. As a result, the expression of hla gene was decreased 0.81-fold and the expression levels of spa and mecA genes was only increased 1.25 and 1.03-fold, respectively. Conclusion: Regardless of the growth phase, the expression of the whole genes in BHI broth containing calf serum were increased in comparison to BHI broth. Consequently, it appears that S. aureus is capable to induce virulence genes expression in the presence of calf serum factors similar to conditions available in vivo.
