Some virulence factors were elucidated, however, little is known about how this bacteria install itself at host human. The urease was the first virulence factor described in S. saprophyticus, being responsible by increasing of the bladder pH in infected patients. This is the first study about S. saprophyticus in proteomics and immunoproteomics perspective of the secreted proteins (exoproteome) of this bacterium. A total of 44 new secreted proteins were detected by mass spectrometry. Among the proteins found, five of them have a crucial role in the glycolytic pathway: Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI), enolase (ENO), Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), however, its role as moonlighting proteins have been observed in various microorganisms. Through of the immunoproteomics, it was possible to detect 18 protein species that reacted onto Western-blotting, and 5 of them could be identified by mass spectrometry. The most abundant protein specie identified as immunogenic in S. saprophyticus, it was transglycosilase IsaA (Immunodominant staphylococcal antigen A), being it well described in Staphylococcus aureus as virulence factor. Another abundant protein found as immunogenic was Ssa (Staphylococcal secretory antigen), which, it was identified under 3 isoforms. The enolase was the last protein identified at immunoproteome of S. saprophyticus. It was possible to conclude from these results that S. saprophyticus has a wide of extracellular proteins capable to promote bacteria adaption, and some of them are involved in oxidative/nitrosative stress (SOD and AhpC), besides possess proteins that have the capacity to incite the humoral immune response in BalbC mice. All this lead us to hypothesize that S. saprophyticus have defense and virulence mechanisms in order to protect itself against extracellular stresses and appropriate mechanisms to promote urinary tract infections. / Staphylococcus saprophyticus caracteriza-se por ser uma bactéria uropatogênica que causa infecção no trato genito-urinário especialmente de mulheres jovens. Alguns fatores de virulência já foram elucidados, no entanto, pouco se conhece do modo pelo qual esta bactéria acomete o hospedeiro humano. A uréase foi o primeiro fator de virulência descrito em S. saprophyticus, sendo responsável pela alcalinização do pH da bexiga de pacientes contaminados. Este estudo é o pioneiro tratando-se de S. saprophyticus na abordagem da proteômica e imunoproteômica do perfil de proteínas secretadas (exoproteoma) por esta bactéria. Um total de 44 proteínas secretadas inéditas foram detectadas por espectrometria de massas. Dentre as proteínas encontradas, cinco delas possuem papel fundamental na via glicolítica: triose-fosfato isomerase (TPI), enolase (ENO), gliceraldeído-3-fosfato-desidrogenase (GAPDH) e glicose-6-fosfato isomerase (GPI), no entanto, seu papel como proteína “moonlighting” já foi observado em diversos microrganismos. Através da imunoproteômica, foi possível detectar 18 espécies proteicas que reagiram no Wester-blotting, e 5 delas puderam ser identificadas por espectrometria de massas. A espécie proteica mais abundante identificada como imunogênica em S. saprophyticus, foi a transglicosilase IsaA (Immunodominant staphylococcal antigen A), sendo bem descrita em S. aureus como um fator de virulência. Outra proteína abundante identificada como imunogênica foi a Ssa (Staphylococcal secretory antigen), no qual, foi identificada em 3 isoformas. A enolase também foi identificada no imunoproteoma de S. saprophyticus. Foi possível concluir através destes resultados que S. saprophyticus possui uma gama de proteínas extracelulares capazes de promover a adaptação desta bactéria, algumas delas envolvidas na proteção contra o estresse oxidativo/nitrosativo (SOD e AhpC), além de possuir proteínas que tem a característica de incitar a resposta imune humoral de camundongos BalbC. Isso tudo nos leva a hipotetizar que S. saprophyticus possui mecanismos de defesa e virulência a fim de se proteger contra estresses exteriores e mecanismos para promover a patogênese no trato genito-urinário.
