Detection of Proteins Antigens of Pathogenic Enterococci by Electrophoresis

The study was conducted to investigate proteinal antigens of Enterococcus faecalis strains which isolated from Endocarditic and urinary tract infection, as wellas standard strain was used for comparison. sodium dodecyle sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used for separation of these proteins after preparation of proteinal antigens suspensions from clinical and standard strain.
Many protein bands were emerged in the protein suspension of Endocarditic strain with
Molecular weight 68000, 65000, 50000, and 44000 dalton, while one band was shown in UTI strain molecular weight 3000 dalton. As well as one protein band was shown in standard strain suspension with molecular weight 22000.
