Inositol polyphosphate–protein interactions: Implications for microbial pathogenicity

Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenicity

The Boyden monograph should be available to every anatomist, thoracic surgeon, and diagnostician. It has occurred to this reviewer that a condensed version of the text, including only those sections concerned with surface anatomy and bronchial patterns, would be of great practical value to otolaryngologists and radiologists who are less frequently concerned with the finer anatomical details of ...

Microbial interactions in cheese: implications for cheese quality and safety.

The cheese microbiota, whose community structure evolves through a succession of different microbial groups, plays a central role in cheese-making. The subtleties of cheese character, as well as cheese shelf-life and safety, are largely determined by the composition and evolution of this microbiota. Adjunct and surface-ripening cultures marketed today for smear cheeses are inadequate for adequa...

Trophic interactions among three elasmobranch species coexisting in the Oman Sea: implications for resource partitioning

In this study, trophic interactions were studied among three elasmobranches including Iago omanensis, Rhinobatos punctifer and Torpedo sinuspersici coexisting in the depth ranging from 50 to 100 meters in the Oman Sea (Sistan and Balochistan waters). A total of 238 specimens were collected using industrial bottom trawlers of ‘FERDOWS’ during spring and summer,2014 and their stomach contents wer...

Common themes in microbial pathogenicity revisited.

Bacterial pathogens employ a number of genetic strategies to cause infection and, occasionally, disease in their hosts. Many of these virulence factors and their regulatory elements can be divided into a smaller number of groups based on the conservation of similar mechanisms. These common themes are found throughout bacterial virulence factors. For example, there are only a few general types o...
