Interaction of complement and polymyxin with gram-negative bacteria.
The interaction of complement and polymyxin with gram-negative bacteria has been investigated by using three strains of Salmonella typhimurium in an attempt to determine the loci of complement action. It has been shown that the bactericidal activities of complement and polymyxin towards a smooth gram-negative organism are similarly affected by various components of the bactericidal test system....
متن کاملDNA/Ag Nanoparticles as Antibacterial Agents against Gram-Negative Bacteria
Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were produced using DNA extracted from salmon milt as templates. Particles spherical in shape with an average diameter smaller than 10 nm were obtained. The nanoparticles consisted of Ag as the core with an outermost thin layer of DNA. The DNA/Ag hybrid nanoparticles were immobilized over the surface of cotton based fabrics and their antibacterial efficiency was evalua...
متن کاملOptimizing Polymyxin Combinations Against Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria
Polymyxin combination therapy is increasingly used clinically. However, systematic investigations of such combinations are a relatively recent phenomenon. The emerging pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) data on CMS/colistin and polymyxin B suggest that caution is required with monotherapy. Given this situation, polymyxin combination therapy has been suggested as a possible way to inc...
متن کاملHigh-frequency conjugal plasmid transfer from gram-negative Escherichia coli to various gram-positive coryneform bacteria.
We report on the mobilization of shuttle plasmids from gram-negative Escherichia coli to gram-positive corynebacteria mediated by P-type transfer functions. Introduction of plasmids into corynebacteria was markedly enhanced after heat treatment of the recipient cells. High-frequency plasmid transfer was also observed when the restriction system of the recipient was mutated. On the basis of our ...
متن کاملSilver nanoparticles as antimicrobial agent: a case study on E. coli as a model for Gram-negative bacteria.
The antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles against E. coli was investigated as a model for Gram-negative bacteria. Bacteriological tests were performed in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium on solid agar plates and in liquid systems supplemented with different concentrations of nanosized silver particles. These particles were shown to be an effective bactericide. Scanning and transmission electr...
