Microbiological assay for estimating salivary concentrations of the cariostatic antibiotic Actinobolin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A logarithmic-ratio microbiological assay has been developed for the estimation of concentrations of actinobolin (or inhibitory equivalents) in human saliva. The utility of this assay has been demonstrated by presenting data that show concentrations of this antibiotic (or inhibitory equivalents) detected in saliva or saline after incubation at 37 C for periods as long as 6 hr. The results of some statistical analyses of the assay data have been included.

Modified microbiological assay for rapid estimation of antibiotic concentrations in human sera.
Antibiotic concentrations in human sera were estimated in 5 to 6 hr by a modified microbiological assay. By using Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes as the assay organisms, the seeded assay plates were preincubated for 2 to 6 hr and then were stored at 4 C until used for assay. Paper discs saturated with the specimen were placed on the preincubated assay plates with reference disc...
متن کاملBiochemical studies on bactobolin in relation to actinobolin.
Bactobolin, a new congener of actinobolin, was isolated from the culture broths of a Pseudomonas sp.'. In spite of close structural similarity1,2) the two antibiotics differ considerably in their biological activity, especially in antitumor activity, bactobolin being stronger than actinobolin" s, 4) . The latter antibiotic has been shown to primarily inhibit protein synthesis in bacterial cells...

The inhibition of protein synthesis has been reported to be one mechanism by which actinobolin inhibits the growth of mammalian and bacterial cells (L. L. Bennett, personal communication; D. E. Hunt and R. F. Pittillo, Can. J. Microbiol. 12:515, 1966). Recent observations have revealed that cells of Escherichia coli which have been grown in the presence of actinobolin become extremely elongated...

Cariostatic treatment has been shown to successfully arrest caries. However, it blackens the carious tooth structure. This study evaluated the effects of an experimental cariostatic agent with silver nanoparticles (Ag-Nano) using microhardness (MH) and microbiological tests. The cariostatic agents tested were: Saforide®, Cariestop®, Ancarie® and Ag-Nano. Sixty-six samples from deciduous enamel ...
متن کاملBleomycin, and antitumor antibiotic: improved microbiological assay and tissue distribution studies in normal mice.
A microbiological assay was developed for bleomycin, an antitumor antibiotic reported to be active in human trials. The assay bacterium was a strain of Escherichia coli which is resistant to ethionine. Studies revealed relatively high concentrations of bleomycin in the blood and urine of mice after a single dose, < 0.33 ld(10), injected intraperitoneally.
