Comparison of Expression of Cytokeratin 7 on Epithelium of Nasal Polyps and Mucosa of Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Background and Objective: Nasal polyp is the most common benign mass of the nasal cavity and it is originated from nasal cavity or sinuses. Cytokeratins (CK) are intermediate filament proteins that provide mechanical support in epithelial cells. The purpose of this study was to compare the expression of cytokeratin 7 in epithelium of nasal polyps and nasal mucosa in chronic rhinosinusitis. Mate...
متن کاملPrevalence of Nasal Colonization of CA-MRSA in Healthy Individuals and Its Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern
Background and purpose: Staphylococcus aureus, as a human pathogen, can produce a wide range of infections and its treatment has become a challenge due to increased resistance to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant (CA-MRSA) type and its antimicrobial susceptibility. Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done i...
متن کاملExpression and antimicrobial activity analysis of dermaseptin B1 recombinant peptides in tobacco transgenic plants
Recently, new molecular breeding and genetic engineering approaches have emerged to overcome the limitations of conventional breeding methods in generating disease-resistance transgenic plants. The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to produce transgenic plants resistant to a wide range of plant pathogens has achieved great success. Among huge number of AMPs, Dermaseptin B1 (DrsB1), an antimi...
متن کاملNasal Colonization and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Staphylococcus Species among Children in Lahore, Pakistan
Introduction: Staphylococcus is a genus of pathogenic bacteria, which asymptomatically colonizes the upper respiratory tract of the human. The incidence of invasive Staphylococcal infections and the disease burden are high among children in South Asia, including Pakistan. This study aims to determine the nasal colonization and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcus species isola...
متن کاملDo Antimicrobial Peptides and Complement Collaborate in the Intestinal Mucosa?
It is well understood that multiple antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are constitutively deployed by the epithelium to bolster the innate defenses along the entire length of the intestines. In addition to this constitutive/homeostatic production, AMPs may be inducible and levels changed during disease. In contrast to this level of knowledge on AMP sources and roles in the intestines, our understand...
