Evaluation of polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) as a disinfectant for adenovirus.
IMPORTANCE Swimming pools can be a vector for transmission of adenovirus ocular infections. Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a disinfectant used in swimming pools and hot tubs. OBJECTIVE To determine whether PHMB is an effective disinfectant against ocular adenovirus serotypes at a concentration used to disinfect swimming pools and hot tubs. DESIGN In vitro laboratory study. INTERVEN...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of C20-diterpenoid alkaloid derivatives in promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania infantum.
The in vitro anti-proliferative effects are described of several atisine-type diterpenoid alkaloids against the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum, which causes human visceral leishmaniasis and canine leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean basin, as well as human cutaneous leishmaniasis throughout the Mediterranean region. From a total of 43 compounds tested, including C19- and C20-diterpene al...

15 صفحه اولDetection of an alkaline peptidase in Leishmania amastigotes and promastigotes.
We have previously characterized a peptidase in Tiypanosomu crirzi that cleaves peptide substrates on the carboxyl side of arginine and lysinc residues at alkaline pH [ I ] . This alkaline peptidase occurs in all stages of the life cycle of T. criizi, and evidence was presented that a similar or identical enzyme was expressed by 15 other species of trypanosomatid, but not by any non-trypanosoma...
متن کاملDetection of lectin activity in Leishmania promastigotes and amastigotes.
Cell lysates from 16 strains of eight Leishmania species were used to test haemagglutination activity (HA) against a variety of RBC. HA was detected using native or neuraminidase-treated rabbit RBC; it was found in promastigotes of all the Leishmania strains tested and in axenic amastigotes of L. mexicana. The HA was trypsin-sensitive, heat-resistant and partially dependent on divalent cations....
