Evolution of the bacterial phosphotransferase system: from carriers and enzymes to group translocators.

Staphylococcus Aureus Carriage in Patients with Psoriasis

Background: The aggravating role of Staphylococcus aureus is well known in atopic dermatitis but has not yet been proven in psoriasis. The role of Staphylococcus aureus superantigens is emphasized in the initiation, maintenance and complications of psoriasis. We investigated the frequency of nasal, axillary, and perineal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in patients with psoriasis and its ...

The study of the situation of administrative system evolution with emphasizing on its root factors on hospitals affiliated to Mazandaran Medicine Science University

Background and purpose: the administrative system of each country is important because of its direct relationship with different groups of people. The purpose of this paper is studying the status of the administrative system evolution in Mazandaran university of medical science with emphasizing on root factors. Materials and methods: In this research, three aspects, organizational structure, jo...

Transport capabilities encoded within the Bacillus subtilis genome.

We here describe all recognized established and putative transport proteins encoded within the genome of Bacillus subtilis. These fall into four classes of established transporter types: (1) channel proteins, (2) secondary active transporters, (3) primary active transporters, and (4) group translocators of the sugar-transporting phosphotransferase system (PTS). Additionally, some transporters a...

Genotyping pattern of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from nasal carriers among health care workers in two hospitals (Imam Sajjad and Shahid Beheshti) in Yasuj city using coa-typing method.

Background and aim: Staphylococcus aureus can colonizes variety of body sites such as skin, coetaneous membrane and especially anterior nares.  The coagulase gene (coa) typing is a technique in which the organism is typed based on the polymorphic region of the coa gene. The aim of the present study was to determine the coa based typing of S. aureus isolates from health care workers in two teach...

Structure/function studies on the bacterial carbohydrate transporters, enzymes II, of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system.
