The current study was aimed at isolating and identifying the halophilic and halotolerant bacteria which can produce mercuric reductase in Gavkhuni wetland in Iran. Moreover, tracking and sequencing merA gene and kinetic properties of mercuric reductase in the selected strain were performed in this study. Soil samples were taken from Gavkhuni wetland and cultured in nutrient agar medium...
متن کاملYersinia enterocolitica infection in resistant and susceptible strains of mice.
We investigated natural resistance in mice to Yersinia enterocolitica, an enteric bacterial pathogen of humans, with a view to determine host genetic factors that are important in resistance. Most mouse strains studied (C3H/HeN, BALB/c, BALB.B, DBA/2, A, Swiss, and SWR) were highly susceptible to infection (50% lethal dose [LD50], 2 X 10(2) to 6 X 10(2) Y. enterocolitica administered intravenou...
