Selective killing of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans by ciprofloxacin during development of a dual species biofilm with Streptococcus sanguinis.
OBJECTIVES Periodontal disease is associated with a pathogen-induced transition to a chronic destructive inflammatory response. Since commensals may either passively or actively contribute to immune homeostasis, therapies aimed at selectively reducing the competitive advantage of pathogens may be effective supplements to traditional methods. We developed an in vitro system to grow biofilms comp...
متن کاملTargeted Killing
The purpose of this paper is to provide a philosophical defense for targeted killings in the wars against terror. The paper argues that if one accepts the moral legitimacy of the large-scale killing of combatants in conventional (what are soon to be called "old-fashioned") wars, one cannot object — on moral grounds — to the targeted killing of terrorists in wars against terror. If one rejects t...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Protease Targeted Prodrug Development
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a prevalent virus that infects up to 90% of the population. The goal of this research is to determine if small molecular prodrug substrates can be developed for a specific HCMV encoded protease and thus achieve site-specific activation. HCMV encodes a 256 amino acid serine protease that is responsible for capsid assembly, an essential process for herpes virus pro...
متن کاملEnhanced cancer cell killing of a Pt(IV) prodrug promoted by outer-sphere coordination with polyethyleneimines.
The cisplatin prodrug c,c,t-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2(O2CCH2CH2CO2)2](2-) (1) forms outer-sphere coordination interactions with non-toxic low MW PEI, which results in enhanced cancer cell killing, also achieved using PEI-coated AuNPs.
متن کاملIsrael’s Policy of Targeted Killing
ince the eruption of the second intifada in September 2000, Israel has openly pursued a policy of targeted killing. The Israelis have identified, located, and then killed alleged Palestinian terrorists with helicopter gunships, fighter aircraft, tanks, car bombs, booby traps, and bullets.
