Effect of coa heteroexpression or addition of recombinant coagulase on bacterial survival. (A) Percent survival and (B) bacterial load of wild-type S. epidermidis and coa expression in trans in human blood during induction. (C) SDS-PAGE analysis of purified recombinant Coa (coagulase) and control protein SarZ from E. coli. M, ColorPlus Prestained protein Marker (NEB), the unit of size is kDa. (D) Coagulation activity of purified recombinant Coa (rCoa) from E. coli in human blood. CT, negative control without addition of rCoa. (E) Percent survival of wild-type USA300 CA-MRSA 923 and addition of different concentrations of purified rCoa and control rSarZ protein in human blood. Data is the mean and standard error of at least four experiments per strain.
