Beyond iron: non-classical biological functions of bacterial siderophores.
Bacteria secrete small molecules known as siderophores to acquire iron from their surroundings. For over 60 years, investigations into the bioinorganic chemistry of these molecules, including fundamental coordination chemistry studies, have provided insight into the crucial role that siderophores play in bacterial iron homeostasis. The importance of understanding the fundamental chemistry under...
متن کامل17. Bacterial Siderophores and their Biotechnological applications
Siderophore is the Greek phrase for “iron bearer” and is applied to molecules that can bind metals at very high affinities. Marine bacteria as do their terrestrial counterparts, secrete siderophores, which are small peptide molecules, readily assembled by short dedicated metabolic pathways which contain side chains and functional groups that can provide a high affinity set of ligands for coordi...
متن کاملNeutrophil cytochemistry in bacterial infection.
A new cytochemical technique, sensitive to altered lysosomal membrane permeability of blood neutrophils, has been evaluated as a screening test for bacterial infection. This technique, for the lysosomal enzymes acid phosphatase and chloroacetate esterase, was compared with the neutrophil alkaline phosphatase and nitroblue tetrazolium tests. The mean score for each method was significantly highe...
متن کاملPrasugrel metabolites inhibit neutrophil functions.
Clopidogrel and prasugrel belong to a thienopyridine class of oral antiplatelet drugs that, after having been metabolized in the liver, can inhibit platelet function by irreversibly antagonizing the P2Y(12) receptor. Furthermore, thienopyridines influence numerous inflammatory conditions, but their effects on neutrophils have not been evaluated, despite the important role of these cells in infl...
متن کاملNeutrophil Functions in Periodontal Homeostasis
Oral tissues are constantly exposed to damage from the mechanical effort of eating and to microorganisms, mostly bacteria. In healthy gingiva tissue remodeling and a balance between bacteria and innate immune cells are maintained. However, excess of bacteria biofilm (plaque) creates an inflammation state that recruits more immune cells, mainly neutrophils to the gingiva. Neutrophils create a ba...
