A lithium chloride-extracted, broad-spectrum-adhesive 42-kilodalton protein of Staphylococcus epidermidis is ornithine carbamoyltransferase. Infection and immunity, 1999, Volume: 67, Issue:12 To identify novel putative staphylococcal adhesins, lithium chloride extraction (an established method for selective surface molecule solubilization) was employed. N-terminal sequencing and functional assays identified a 42-kDa fibronectin-binding protein from Staphylococcus epidermidis as ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCTase). However, OCTase was not recognizable extracellularly, and this fact together with the fact that LiCl induced DNA release and a decrease in viability suggests that LiCl extraction may not be the method of choice for selective surface molecule extraction from staphylococci. Topics: Adhesins, Bacterial; Amino Acid Sequence; Bacterial Proteins; Bacteriological Techniques; Blotting, Western; Carrier Proteins; Catheters, Indwelling; Coagulase; Humans; Lithium Chloride; Molecular Sequence Data; Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase; Staphylococcal Infections; Staphylococcus epidermidis	1999
