Evidence is presented that a single injection of bacterial antigen in oil into a footpad of rats of 5 strains induced different clinical forms of adjuvant disease in the individual rat strains. Rats were injected with 300 micrograms heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 50 microliters paraffin. Inflammatory lesions and clinical features were recorded on skeletal charts at frequent intervals...

1 Apr 04 Ketek (tablets) Telithromycin Aventis For treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of designated microorganisms for patients 18 yr old: acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, or Moraxella catarrhalis; for acute bacterial sinusitis due to S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, or Staphylococcus ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the in vitro activity and concentration of Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumolysin correlated to the pathogenesis of S. pneumoniae endophthalmitis. Five S. pneumoniae clinical endophthalmitis strains were grown in media to similar optical densities (OD), and extracellular milieu was tested for pneumolysin activity by hemolysis of rabbit red blood ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori on the function of gastric mucous cells. H. pylori (10(4) to 10(7) CFU/well) was incubated with the mucin-producing gastric cell line HM02 for 12 and 24 h. Mucin synthesis and secretion were determined by the incorporation of D-N-[acetyl-(14)C]glucosamine into intracellular and released high-molecular-weight glycoprotein...

Since the first reports by Cavalli-Sforza (9) and Hayes (24) of strains of Escherichia coli K-12 which are conjugational donors of chromosomal markers at high frequency (Hfr strains), many other Hfr strains have been isolated and our understanding of the mechanisms involved in Hfr formation has increased considerably. All Hfr strains arise from the integration of a conjugative plasmid into the ...

Bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum is a constraint that limits the production of solanaceous in Côte d'Ivoire. The genetic control, which more widely used, comes up against and phenotypic variability strains. objective this study was to screen commercial traditional varieties Solanaceae Ivorian strains different phylotypes assess their spectrum resistance disease. level virulence five eva...

Background: Development of antibiotic resistance or multidrug (MDR) is one the major causes treatment failure bacterial infections and has rapidly evolved into a threat to global health care. Bacterial efflux pumps play significant role in development resistance. This study evaluates prevalence pump- mediated drug clinical isolates P. aeruginosa.Methods: Clinical (n=100) aeruginosa were collect...

Thiophene containing thiazolyl carbohydrazide on reaction with various aryl isothiocynates yields thiosemicarbazides which were transformed into 1,2,4- substituted thiazoles by Hantzsch synthesis and characterized spectral methods. Most of the synthesized new are found to be promisingly effective against tested bacterial strains exhibited moderate activitytested fungal strains. 1, 2,4- weakly a...

Recent reports relative to the oncogenicity of adenovirus types 12 and 18 (Trentin, Yabe, and Taylor, Science 137:835, 1962; Huebner, Rowe, and Lane, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 48:2051, 1962) have caused a renewed surge of interest in the adenovirus group. In addition to the prototype strain Huie, Huebner and co-workers investigated eight adenovirus type 12 strains, recovered from anal swabs o...

Bacterial strains D11, E1 and E2 isolated from petroleum-contaminated soils were found to be members of Acinetobacter genus revealed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis phenotypic characteristics. After incubation for 5 days, about 43%, 9% 12% total petroleum hydrocarbons crude oil degraded E2, respectively, determined GC-MS analysis. Moreover, 70% 76% single hydrocarbon hexadecane was the D11 a...
