Structure–Activity Relationship of Plesiomonas shigelloides Lipid A to the Production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by Human and Murine Macrophages
2017
Plesiomonas shigelloides is a Gram-negative bacterium that is associated with diarrheal disease in humans. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the main surface antigen and virulence factor of this bacterium. The lipid A (LA) moiety of LPS is the main region recognized by target cells of immune system. Here, we evaluated the biological activities of P. shigelloides LA for their abilities to induce the productions of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) by human and murine macrophages [THP-1 macrophages and immortalized murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (iBMDM)]. Four native P. shigelloides LA preparations differing in their phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) substitution, length, number, …
The unique structure of complete lipopolysaccharide isolated from semi-rough Plesiomonas shigelloides O37 (strain CNCTC 39/89) containing (2S)-O-(4-o…
2013
The complete structure of semi-rough lipopolysaccharide (SR-LPS) of Plesiomonas shigelloides CNCTC 39/89 (serotype O37) has been investigated by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS, and chemical methods. The following structure of the single unit of the O-antigen has been established: [formula see text] in which α-D-Lenp is (2S)-O-(4-oxopentanoic acid)-α-D-Glcp residue which has not been found in nature. The absolute configuration of oxopentanoic acid moiety in α-d-Lenose residue was determined by NOESY experiment combined with molecular modeling (MM2 force field). The decasaccharide core is substituted at C-4 of the β-D-Glcp residu…
Numerical Taxonomy of Aeromonadaceae and Vibrionaceae associated with Reared Fish and Surrounding Fresh and Brackish Water
1995
Summary A numerical taxonomic study was performed on 51 isolates of gram-negative, oxidase-positive, rodshaped, heterotrophic, facultative anaerobic bacteria isolated from aquatic samples (fresh and brackish water, eels, turbot and rainbow trout). These bacteria were compared with 28 type and references strains which included most of Aeromonas phenospecies and DNA hybridization groups, as well as strains of some arginine-positive vibrios and Plesiomonas shigelloides . The strains were characterized by 137 morphological, biochemical, physiological and nutritional tests, and data were examined by simple matching (S SM ) and Jaccard (S J ) coefficients. Unweigthed pair group mathematical avera…
Core Oligosaccharide of Plesiomonas shigelloides PCM 2231 (Serotype O17) Lipopolysaccharide — Structural and Serological Analysis
2013
The herein presented complete structure of the core oligosaccharide of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) P. shigelloides Polish Collection of Microorganisms (PCM) 2231 (serotype O17) was investigated by (1)H, (13)C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chemical analyses and serological methods. The core oligosaccharide is composed of an undecasaccharide, which represents the second core type identified for P. shigelloides serotype O17 LPS. This structure is similar to that of the core oligosaccharide of P. shigelloides strains 302-73 (serotype O1) and 7-63 (serotype O17) and differs from these only by one sugar residue. Serological screening of 55 strains of P. shigelloides with the use of serum agai…
The novel structure of the core oligosaccharide backbone of the lipopolysaccharide from the Plesiomonas shigelloides strain CNCTC 8089 (serotype O13)
2013
The new structure of the core oligosaccharide of Plesiomonas shigelloides CNCTC 80/89 (serotype O13) lipopolysaccharide has been investigated by chemical methods, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF). It was concluded that the core oligosaccharide of P. shigelloides CNCTC 80/89 is a nonasaccharide with the following structure: The position of glycine was determined by MALDI-TOF MS/MS analyses.
Seasonal recovery ofEdwardsiella piscicidafrom wild European eels and natural waters: Isolation methods, virulence and reservoirs
2018
A total of 127 wild eels caught in the L'Albufera Lake (Spain) and 24 samples of lagoon freshwater were analysed for 1-year period. Edwardsiella strains were isolated from liver/kidney on TSA-1 plates in 31.9% of total diseased specimens, and the edwardsiellosis prevalence in the fishery was of 11.8%. The use of double-strength Salmonella-Shigella (DSSS) broth and SS agar yielded Edwardsiella isolation from intestine in 100% of those edwardsiellosis-diseased eels, but also in 40.4% of other sick fish with vibriosis or aeromonosis and in 28.8% of healthy eels, as well as from freshwater in 8.3% of samples. Pure cultures were isolated on SS agar from the former, but motile Aeromonas, Plesiomo…
The O-antigen of Plesiomonas shigelloides serotype O36 containing pseudaminic acid
2016
The structure of the repeating unit of O-antigen of Plesiomonas shigelloides serotype O36 has been investigated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and chemical methods. The new structure of trisaccharide has been established: →4)-β-Pse5Ac7(R3Hb)-(2 → 4)-β-D-Galp-(1 → 3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→ These trisaccharide O-antigen units substitute the core undecasaccharide at C-4 of the β-D-GlcpNAc residue. The core oligosaccharide and lipid A are identical with these of the serotype O17 (PCM 2231) (Maciejewska, A., Lukasiewicz, J., Kaszowska, M., Jachymek, W., Man-Kupisinska, A.; Lugowski, C. Mar. Drugs.2013, 11 (2), 440–454; Lukasi…
Structural analysis of the O-specific polysaccharide isolated from Plesiomonas shigelloides O51 lipopolysaccharide.
2009
Plesiomonasshigelloides strain CNCTC 110/92 (O51) was identified as a new example of plesiomonads synthesising lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) that show preference for a non-aqueous surrounding during phenol/water extraction. Chemical analyses combined with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF and ESI mass spectrometry showed that the repeating units of the O-specific polysaccharides isolated from phenol and water phase LPSs of P. shigelloides O51 have the same structure: -->4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc3NRA-(1-->4)-alpha-L-FucpAm3OAc-(1-->3)-alpha-D-QuipNAc-(1-->, containing the rare sugar constituent 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxyglucuronic acid (GlcpNAc3NRA), and substituents such as D-3-hydroxybutyric ac…
