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...

Model Membrane from Shed Snake Skins

In this project we are interested in studying different kinds of shed snake skins in order to apply them as a model membrane for pharmaceutical purposes instead of human stratum corneum. Many types of shed snake skins as well as model drugs were studied by different techniques. The data will give deeper understanding about the interaction between drugs and model membranes and may allow us to ch...

Recovery from an activity-induced metabolic acidosis in the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis.

The metabolic acidosis resulting from an intense exercise bout is large in crocodilians. Here we studied recovery from this pH perturbation in the American alligator. Metabolic rate, minute ventilation, arterial pH and gases, and strong ion concentration were measured for 10 h after exhaustion to elucidate the mechanisms and time course of recovery. Exhaustion resulted in a significant increase...

Effects 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...
