Proteus vulgaris (P. vulgaris) is widespread in nature, mainly found in flora of human gastrointestinal tract. The current study was attempted to investigate the effects of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment on lyophilized as well as revived state of P. vulgaris for antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, biochemical characteristics, and biotype. P. vulgaris cells were procured from Micro BioLogics...

To identify diagnostic markers for psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis, autoantibodies in sera from psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis patients were screened by two-dimensional immunoblotting (2D-IB). Based on 2D-IB and MADLI TOF/TOF-MS analyses, eleven proteins each in psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis were identified as autoantigens. Furthermore, serum levels of moesin...

OBJECTIVE Microorganisms are responsible for many problems in industry and medicine because of biofilm formation. Therefore, this study was aimed to examine the effect of Thymus vulgaris (T. vulgaris) extracts on the planktonic form and biofilm structures of six pathogenic bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antimicrobial activities of the plant extracts against the planktonic form of the bacteri...

Kon K, Rai M. 2012. Antibacterial activity of Thymus vulgaris essential oil alone and in combination with other essential oils. Nusantara Bioscience 4: 50-56. Essential oils (EOs) from plants represent an alternative approach in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. One of the EOs with proven antibacterial properties is Thymus vulgaris EO. The purpose of the present work was to investigate i...

BACKGROUND Failure of colony PCRs in green microalga Chlorella vulgaris is typically attributed to the difficulty in disrupting its notoriously rigid cell walls for releasing the genetic materials and therefore the development of an effective colony PCR procedure in C. vulgaris presents a challenge. RESULTS Here we identified that colony PCR results were significantly affected by the accumula...

The tryptophanase (tna) operon of Proteus vulgaris was cloned and characterized and found to be organized similarly to the tna operon of Escherichia coli. Both operons contain two major structural genes, tnaA and tnaB, that encode tryptophanase and a tryptophan permease, respectively. tnaA of P. vulgaris is preceded by a transcribed leader region, encoding a 34-residue leader peptide, TnaC, tha...

OBJECTIVE Medicinal plants have attracted global attention due to their safety as well as their considerable antioxidant content that helps to prevent or ameliorate various disorders including memory impairments. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of beet root (Beta vulgaris) leaf extract on scopolamine-induced spatial memory impairments in male Wistar rats. MATERIALS AND METH...

Antisera were prepared against cytochromes c3 from Desulfovibrio africanus, D. vulgaris, and D. salexigens. Cross-reactions were observed between antisera to D. vulgaris and D. africanus cytochromes and heterologous cytochromes c3. A weak cross-reaction with antisera against both D. vulgaris and D. africanus cytochromes and the acid form of the D. salexigens cytochrome was seen; the basic form ...

Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disease associated with an autoantibody directed against a keratinocyte membrane antigen. The purpose of this study was to purify the human pemphigus vulgaris antigen, to produce an antibody to this antigen, and to use the antibody to induce pemphigus in newborn mice. Various techniques to extract the membrane-rich pellet from human epidermal homogenate were ...

The name Proteus penneri sp. nov. is proposed for a group of organisms previously called Proteus vulgaris indole negative or P. vulgaris biogroup 1. All of these strains were salicin negative, esculin negative, and chloramphenicol resistant (zone size, less than 14 mm). DNA relatedness studies indicated that when DNA from P. penneri strain 1808-73 was labeled and tested against unlabeled DNA fr...
