The purpose of this study was to determine the response of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) to manure management. A pilot field study was conducted using horse manure containing no antibiotics, into which chlortetracycline (CTC), tylosin (TYL), and monensin (MON) were spiked and compared to unspiked controls. Subsequently, a large-scale field study was conducted comparing manur...

Cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) is the Cu-dependent, terminal respiratory complex of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Inhibition of CCO can promote oxidative stress by increasing mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Because mitochondria have an important role in apoptosis as both a target and source for ROS, enhanced ROS production resulting from inhibition of CCO by...

The effects of mutations in host genes on tetracycline resistance mediated by the Tet(O) and Tet(M) ribosomal protection proteins, which originated in Campylobacter spp. and Streptococcus spp., respectively, were investigated by using mutants of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. The miaA, miaB, and miaAB double mutants of S. typhimurium specify enzymes for tRNA modification at the ad...

Ribosomal protection represents an important tactic for promoting tetracycline resistance in both gram-positive and -negative species. Tet(O) and Tet(M) are the best studied of these determinants and were originally isolated from Campylobacter jejuni and Streptococcus spp., respectively, although both are widely distributed (10). These are the only two ribosomal protection proteins (RPPs) that ...

The enterococcal plasmid pKQ10 has been reported to carry a poorly characterized tetracycline resistance determinant designated tet(U). However, in a series of studies intended to further characterize this determinant, we have been unable to substantiate the claim that tet(U) confers resistance to tetracyclines. In line with these results, bioinformatic analysis provides compelling evidence tha...

Single-vector Tet-on systems were developed to enable the tight regulation of transgenes in mammalian cells with a low dosage of doxycycline. Both the regulatory and the responsive units were integrated in a single vector and separated by a short DNA segment (214 bp). In the developed single-vector Tet-on systems, a high level of expression of the transgene can be induced by doxycycline at a co...

One of the promising strategies to overcome tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) is to deliver anticancer drug along with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor simultaneously. To enhance the cancer cellular internalization and implement the controlled drug release, herein an iRGD peptide-modified lipid-polymer hybrid nanosystem (LPN) was fabricated to coload paclitaxel (PTX) and tetrandrine (TET) at a pr...

HSV type 1 (HSV-1)-specific CD8(+) T cells provide immunosurveillance of trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons that harbor latent HSV-1. In C57BL/6 mice, the TG-resident CD8(+) T cells are HSV specific and maintain a 1:1 ratio of cells recognizing an immunodominant epitope on viral glycoprotein B (gB498-505-Tet(+)) and cells reactive to subdominant epitopes (gB-Tet(-)). The gB-Tet(-) CD8(+) T cells ...

We developed and tested a glass-based microarray suitable for detecting multiple tetracycline (tet) resistance genes. Microarray probes for 17 tet genes, the beta-lactamase bla(TEM-1) gene, and a 16S ribosomal DNA gene (Escherichia coli) were generated from known controls by PCR. The resulting products (ca. 550 bp) were applied as spots onto epoxy-silane-derivatized, Teflon-masked slides by usi...
