Measurement of Staphylococcus aureus Pigmentation by Methanol Extraction -- Analysis of Murein Hydrolases and Proteases through Zymography -- Detection and Quantification of Secreted Nuclease Activity in Staphylococcus aureus Culture Supernatants -- Quantitative Hemolysis Assays -- In Vitro Assay for Quantifying Clumping of Staphylococcus aureus -- Measuring Staphylococcal Promoter Activities using a Codon-Optimized β-galactosidase Reporter -- Evaluation of Staphylococcus aureus Antibiotic Tolerance using Kill Curve Assays -- Fluorescence Polarization (FP) Assay for Measuring Staphylococcus aureus Membrane Fluidity -- Quantification of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation by Crystal Violet and Confocal Microscopy -- Growth of Staphylococcus aureus using a Rotary Cell Culture System -- Time-Resolved Fluorescence Assay for Measuring Oxygen Consumption Rates in Staphylococcus aureus -- Quantifying Staphylococcus aureus Membrane Potential using Flow Cytometry -- Best Practices for Preparation of Staphylococcus aureus Metabolomics Samples -- A Rat Model of Orthopedic Implant-Associated Infection for Identification of Staphylococcal Biofilm Proteins -- An Ex Vivo Model for Assessing Growth and Survivability of Staphylococcus aureus in Whole Human Blood -- Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophage Infection Assay -- Measurement of Osteoblast Cytotoxicity Induced by S. aureus Secreted Toxins -- Human Skin In Vitro Colonization Model for a Skin Wound Infected by Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm.
This volume details the phenotypic characterization of Staphylococcus aureus, with a focus on in vitro and ex vivo methodologies. The chapters in this book cover topics such as in vitro assessment of classical S. aureus virulence attributes; quantifying promoter activity using a S. aureus codon-optimized lacZ plasmid; biologically-relevant growth environments; metabolic and stress resistance assays; and in vivo and ex vivo models of host-pathogen interaction. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and authoritative, Staphylococcus aureus: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this fascinating and developing field.
