Madura Foot (Mycetoma)

Case of Madura Foot—Mycetoma

On 19tli Mny, a man of about 30 years of age was admitted to the Ulwar dispensary. His left, foot was very considerably enlarged, and presented numerous diseases, some of which implicated the ankle joint. From these openings proceeded a tlii i discharge, frequently or usually containing black gritty particles. Severe local pain was complained of, and the patient's appearance was worn and somewh...

Role of staphylococcal phage and SaPI integrase in intra- and interspecies SaPI transfer.

SaPIbov2 is a member of the SaPI family of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands and is very closely related to SaPIbov1. Typically, certain temperate phages can induce excision and replication of one or more of these islands and can package them into special small phage-like particles commensurate with their genome sizes (referred to as the excision-replication-packaging [ERP] cycle). We have s...

SaPI operon I is required for SaPI packaging and is controlled by LexA.

Transfer of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) is directly controlled by the cellular repressor LexA. We have found that transcription of the SaPIbov1 operon I is repressed by LexA and is therefore SOS-induced. Two copies of the LexA binding site consensus (Cheo box) are present in the 5' region of this operon, at the same location in all of 15 different SaPIs analysed. Both of...

Le pied de Madura

Le pied de Madura ou mycétome est une infection chronique dûe à des agents pathogènes fongiques ou bactériens, qui produisent des grains. Il se voit surtout dans les pays tropicaux et subtropicaux. Les mycétomes sont connus par leur localisation podale élective. L'évolution lente et progressive des lésions des téguments et des parties molles finit souvent par une atteinte secondaire du squelett...
