Bordetella petrii Infection with Long-lasting Persistence in Human
We report the repeated isolation of Bordetella petrii in the sputum of a 79-year-old female patient with diffuse bronchiectasis and persistence of the bacterium for >1 year. The patient was first hospitalized due to dyspnea, which developed into severe cough with purulent sputum that yielded B. petrii on culture. After this first episode, the patient was hospitalized an additional 4 times with ...
متن کاملBacterial Urease and its Role in Long-Lasting Human Diseases
Urease is a virulence factor found in various pathogenic bacteria. It is essential in colonization of a host organism and in maintenance of bacterial cells in tissues. Due to its enzymatic activity, urease has a toxic effect on human cells. The presence of ureolytic activity is an important marker of a number of bacterial infections. Urease is also an immunogenic protein and is recognized by an...
متن کاملEvidence of Maintenance Tagging in the Hippocampus for the Persistence of Long-Lasting Memory Storage
The synaptic tagging and capture (STC) hypothesis provides a compelling explanation for synaptic specificity and facilitation of long-term potentiation. Its implication on long-term memory (LTM) formation led to postulate the behavioral tagging mechanism. Here we show that a maintenance tagging process may operate in the hippocampus late after acquisition for the persistence of long-lasting mem...
متن کاملLong Lasting Persistence of Bacillus thuringiensis Subsp. israelensis (Bti) in Mosquito Natural Habitats
BACKGROUND The detrimental effects of chemical insecticides on the environment and human health have lead to the call for biological alternatives. Today, one of the most promising solutions is the use of spray formulations based on Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) in insect control programs. As a result, the amounts of Bti spread in the environment are expected to increase worldw...
متن کاملLong - lasting , long - range detection
We examined the time course of threshold reduction in the Gabor lateral masking paradigm (Polat and Sagi 1993). Contrast detection thresholds were measured (2AFC) for a brieey presented (36 msec) foveal Gabor signal (GS), preceded by a presentation (90 msec) of two high-contrast GS anked masks, with Stimulus Onset Asynchrony (SOA) varying from 0 to 16,290 msec. Using target-to-mask separations ...
