Abstract
Teicoplanin (teic) from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus is a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat many Gram-positive bacterial infections. Glycopeptide antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to carboxy-terminal D-Ala-D-Ala intermediates in the peptidoglycan of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria. In this paper we report the derivatization of magnetic microspheres with teic (teic-microspheres). Fluorescence-based techniques have been developed to analyze the binding properties of the microspheres to two D-Ala-D-Ala terminus peptides. The dissociation constant for the binding of carboxyfluorescein-labeled D-Ala-D-Ala-D-Ala to teic on microspheres was established via fluorimetry and flow cytometry and was determined to be 0.5x10^-6 and 3.0x10^-6 mol L^-1, respectively. The feasibility of utilizing microparticles with fluorescence methods to detect low levels (the limit of bacterial detection was determined to be 30 colon-forming units; cfu) of Gram-positive bacteria has been demonstrated. A simple microfluidic experiment is reported to demonstrate the possibility of developing microsphere-based affinity assays to study peptide-antibiotic interaction.
