Lipolytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus from human wounds, animals, foods, and food-contact surfaces in Brazil

Abstract: Introduction: S. aureus is of great importance to public health due to its pathogenicity. This study aimed to evaluate lipase production by S. aureus isolates from different sources. Methodology: Lipolytic activity was determined using Tween-Calcium agar (48 hours; 35°C). Results: Eighty-six percent of the isolates from human wounds were positive for lipase production. The frequencies of isolates positive for lipase production were 33.3% from cow udders, 15.4% from the nasal cavities of cattle, 82.9% from rico… Show more

“…Lipase hydrolysis has been shown to occur intensively in the pilosebaceous units that produce glycerol and free fatty acids from sebum glycerides (Fluhr et al, ). The existence of lipase hydrolysis by the skin's flora of microorganisms is well known (dos Santos Rodrigues et al, ; Freinkel & Shen, ; Ro & Dawson, ), and there is evidence that triglyceride hydrolysis also occurs within the stratum corneum (Fluhr et al, ; Scheimann, Knox, Sher, & Rothman, ). However, only limited quantitative data are available (Freinkel & Shen, ).…”

“…Free fatty acids, like oleic acid that accounts for the greatest proportion of the fatty acid components of olive oil triglycerides, are welldocumented penetration enhancers that increase TEWL when applied to the skin (38)(39)(40). Whilst triglycerides themselves do not penetrate the skin, as indicated by the sharp reduction in lipid esters in the skin following tape-stripping, lipases derived from the resident skin flora breakdown triglycerides to release glycerol and free fatty acids such as linoleic acid and oleic acid (41,42). Glycerol is an important moisturising factor (humectant) found in the SC, increased levels of which increase skin hydration (43).…”

“…Therefore, phage PVP-SE1 can be used to point out bad microbiological conditions of stored food once spoilage bacteria present in foods could present an intermediary color, the purple color, that indicate unsatisfactory sanitary food condition. On the other hand, the change color from blue to red in Salmonella presence indicate unsafe condition of the food because the presence of the pathogen render the food a risk for health [24].…”
