Antibacterial properties of serum from the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).
Treatment of alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and human serum samples with Escherichia coli resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of bacterial proliferation. When inoculated with E. coli, alligator serum exhibited 10-fold lower bacterial survival rates after 1 h than human serum. In addition, the antibacterial spectrum of alligator serum was shown to be much broader t...
متن کاملEffects of Leukocyte Extract from the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) on Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Treatment of clinical isolates of human pathogenic bacteria, which were known to be resistant to multiple commonly-used antibiotics, with refined leukocyte extracts from the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) resulted in a timeand concentration-dependent inhibition of bacterial proliferation. The alligator leukocyte extract exhibited the strongest antibacterial effect on Pseudomona...
متن کاملOntogeny of baroreflex control in the American alligator Alligator mississippiensis.
Baroreflex regulation appears in different species at different points in embryonic development. This study was designed to understand the development of the baroreflex in embryos of the American alligator at four different points of embryonic development (60%, 70%, 80% and 90% of a total incubation period of 72 days) and in 1-week-old hatchlings. Data from a separate study on 1-year-old alliga...
متن کاملBiophysics of directional hearing in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).
Physiological and anatomical studies have suggested that alligators have unique adaptations for spatial hearing. Sound localization cues are primarily generated by the filtering of sound waves by the head. Different vertebrate lineages have evolved external and/or internal anatomical adaptations to enhance these cues, such as pinnae and interaural canals. It has been hypothesized that in alliga...
متن کاملPelvic aspiration in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).
The pelvis of crocodilians is highly derived in that the pubic bones are isolated from the acetabulum and are attached to the ischia via moveable joints. We examined the possible role of this unusual morphology in lung ventilation by measuring ventilation, abdominal pressure and the electrical activity of several abdominal and pelvic muscles in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis...
