Bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide on spacecraft isolates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solutions of 3, 10, and 15% hydrogen peroxide were found to have pronounced bactericidal effects, as a function of time of exposure, on sporeformers and non-sporeformers isolated from spacecraft.

Metabolic inhibition of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius decreases the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide.
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius VPI 4330-1 was tested under various conditions for examination of the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide. The cells were most rapidly killed by hydrogen peroxide when they were in the exponential-growth phase. Cooling or starving the cells decreased the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide. The ionophore nigericin and the metal ion chelating agent 2,2'-bi...
متن کاملPowerful bacterial killing by buckwheat honeys is concentration-dependent, involves complete DNA degradation and requires hydrogen peroxide
Exposure of bacterial cells to honey inhibits their growth and may cause cell death. Our previous studies showed a cause-effect relationship between hydroxyl radical generated from honey hydrogen peroxide and growth arrest. Here we explored the role of hydroxyl radicals as inducers of bacterial cells death. The bactericidal effect of ·OH on antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates of MRSA and VRE...
متن کاملRole of hydrogen peroxide in bactericidal action of catechin.
Catechin (epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECg), epigallocatechin (EGC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)), which occur in green tea and black tea, possess strong bactericidal action. We observed a reactive oxygen species that was generated from the catechins as the active mechanism: and this reactive oxygen was identified. EGCg reacted with the dissolved oxygen in aqueous solution, res...
متن کاملBactericidal and cytotoxic effects of hypothiocyanite-hydrogen peroxide mixtures.
Lactoperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide into hypothiocyanite, a reaction which can protect bacterial and mammalian cells from killing by hydrogen peroxide. The present study demonstrates, however, that lactoperoxidase in the presence of thiocyanate can actually potentiate the bactericidal and cytotoxic effects of hydrogen peroxide under specific conditions, s...
متن کاملPotentiation by L-cysteine of the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide in Escherichia coli.
Under anaerobic conditions an exponentially growing culture of Escherichia coli K-12 was exposed to hydrogen peroxide in the presence of various compounds. Hydrogen peroxide (0.1 mM) together with 0.1 mM L-cysteine or L-cystine killed the organisms more rapidly than 10 mM hydrogen peroxide alone. The exposure of E. coli to hydrogen peroxide in the presence of L-cysteine inhibited some of the ca...
