Rinse water for heat labile endoscopy equipment.

ثبت نشده
چکیده

The increase in use of endoscopic procedures in diagnosis and surgical treatment has underlined the need for safe cleaning methods for these instruments. While decontamination has been reviewed by several Working Groups in Britain, the problems relating to the prevention of contamination of rinse water and its monitoring procedures have not been addressed previously. This report from the Joint Working Party identifies the problems, and provides guidance on the monitoring and provision of high-quality rinse water.

Reuse Limits and Regeneration of Solutions for Cleaning Dairy Equipment

Usable life of cleaning solutions in a model heat processing unit was studied by evaluation of the nature and quantity of residue remaining on the surface of the equipment after cleaning. Lipoidal residue was recovered from equipment surfaces by ether rinsing. A surface displacement technique was used to quantify the lipoidal material, which was characterized by gas-liquid chromatographic analy...

ESCHERICHIA COLI HEAT-LABILE TOXIN B SUBUNIT: CONSTRUCTION AND EVALUATION OF PLASMIDS PROVIDING CONTROLLED HIGH LEVEL PRODUCTION OF THE PROTEIN

With the plasmid DNA from a clinical isolate of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) H 10407 as template, PCR-mediated cloning of the sequence encoding the heat-labile toxin B subunit (L T -B) has been carried out. Then this sequence was recloned into the pTrc 99A and pET23a expression vectors to give the pJasmids pTRCLTB and pETLTB, respectively. After induction, the former plasmid provides...

Construction and Expression of a Fused Gene for B Subunit of the Heat-Labile and a Truncated Form of the Heat-Stable Enterotoxins in Escherichia coli

Elaboration of different toxins by enterotoxigenic E. coli has been considered as one of the main virulence factors contributing to the manifestation of disease caused by these microorganisms. Various strategies have been employed to raise antibodies against these toxins as a line of defense. In this study, the 3’ terminus of the gene that codes for the binding subunit of the heat-labile entero...

Immunogenicity of a Fusion Protein Comprising Coli Surface Antigen 3 and Labile B Subunit of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Background: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are the major causes of diarrheal disease in humans and animals. Colonization factors and enterotoxins are the major virulence factors in ETEC pathogenesis. For the broad-spectrum protection against ETEC, one could focus on colonization factors and non-toxic heat labile as a vaccine candidate. Methods: A fusion protein is composed of a...
