Environmental determinants of and impact on childhood asthma by the bacterial community in household dust
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-04)
Asthma increased dramatically in the last decades of the 20th century and is representative of chronic diseases that have been linked to altered microbial exposure and immune responses. Here we evaluate the effects of ...
Microwave sterilization of plastic tissue culture vessels for reuse
(American Society for Microbiology, 1982-10)
A simple protocol has been developed for recycling plastic tissue culture vessels. The killing properties of microwaves were used to decontaminate plastic tissue culture vessels for reuse. Nine bacterial cultures, four ...
Rumen microbial population dynamics during adaptation to a high-grain diet
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-11)
High-grain adaptation programs are widely used with feedlot cattle to balance enhanced growth performance against the risk of acidosis. This adaptation to a high-grain diet from a high-forage diet is known to change the ...
Characterization of Anaplasma marginale isolated from North American bison
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-08)
Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), a tick-borne pathogen of cattle, is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Although serologic tests have identified American bison, Bison bison, as ...
Tick acquisition of Ehrlichia canis from dogs treated with doxycycline hyclate
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-09)
Doxycycline generally alleviates clinical monocytic ehrlichiosis, but its efficacy in the control of monocytotropic ehrlichial pathogens requires further investigation. In this study, Ehrlichia canis was detected in dogs ...
Resistance of Spiroplasma citri lines to the virus SVTS2 is associated with integration of viral DNA sequences into host chromosomal and extrachromosomal DNA
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995-11)
Spiroplasmavirus SVTS2, isolated from Spiroplasma melliferum TS2, produces plaques when inoculated onto lawns of Spiroplasma citri M200H, a derivative of the type strain Maroc R8A2. S. citri strains MR2 and MR3, originally ...
inlA premature stop codons are common among Listeria monocytogenes isolates from foods and yield virulence-attenuated strains that confer protection against fully virulent strains
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-11)
Previous studies showed that a considerable proportion of Listeria monocytogenes isolates obtained from foods carry a premature stop codon (PMSC) mutation in inlA that leads to production of a truncated and secreted InlA. ...
Effects of environmental and nutritional factors on production of the polyketide phytotoxin coronatine by Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea
(American Society for Microbiology, 1993-05)
Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea PG4180 produces the polyketide phytotoxin coronatine. The effects of environmental, nutritional, and host factors on growth and coronatine production by PG4180 were examined by varying the ...
Community terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms reveal insights into the diversity and dynamics of leaf endophytic bacteria
(BioMed Central, 2013-01-03)
Background: Plant endophytic bacteria play an important role benefiting plant growth or being pathogenic to plants or organisms that consume those plants. Multiple species of bacteria have been found co-inhabiting plants, ...
In vitro efficacy of antibiotics commonly used to treat human plague against intracellular Yersinia pestis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-08)
Yersinia pestis initiates infection as a facultative intracellular parasite in host macrophages; however, little is known about the efficacy of antibiotics commonly used to treat human plague against intracellular Y. pestis. ...
