Nowadays the most difficult problem in treatment of bacterial infections is the appearance of resistant bacteria to the antimicrobial agents so that the attention is being drawn to other potential targets. In view of the positive findings of phage therapy, many advantages have been mentioned which utilizes phage therapy over chemotherapy and it seems to be a promising agent to replace the antib...

conclusions it can be concluded that a. otitidis was the major causative agent of mee in children with ome. therefore clinicians should be aware that bacterial infection plays an important role in the progression of acute otitis media to ome in children of our region. results the bacterial cultures in 8.6% of samples were positive by conventional culture, with a. otitidis, m. catarrhalis and s....

abstract in the present set of investigations, the anti-mutagenic and anti-cytotoxic effects of aqueous rosemary leaves extract (re) beside the dose dependency of these effects on male mice bone marrow and germ cells have been evaluated using in vivo cytogenetic, histopathologic and apoptotic assays, as well as biochemical analysis. doxorubicin (dxr), a well-known mutagen and cytotoxic agent, w...

The objective of this research was to compare the composition of bacterial microbiota associated with the ruminal content (RC), ruminal epithelium (RE) and faeces of Holstein dairy cows. The RC, RE and faecal samples were collected from six Holstein dairy cows when the animals were slaughtered. Community compositions of bacterial 16S rRNA genes from RC, RE and faeces were determined using a MiS...

Disc immuno-immobilization is a simple method for typing the flagellar phase of Salmonella enterica. We re-examined this method using commercial antisera, which contains the preservative sodium azide. Originally prepared motility agar activates bacterial motility and renders S. enterica resistant to sodium azide, resulting in the formation of immuno-immobilization lines around reactive immuno-d...

Lon protease, an ATP-dependent protease in Escherichia coli, degrades abnormal proteins and regulates several important cellular functions. Here we show novel inhibitory effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on Lon protease activities. LPS inhibited the peptidase, protease, and ATPase activities of Lon; and a dose-response study showed that LPS at low doses more effectively inhibited the ATPase a...
