The Lantibiotic Lacticin 3147 Prevents Systemic Spread ofStaphylococcus aureusin a Murine Infection ModelInternational Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2012 - Trang 1-6 - 2012
Clare Piper, Pat G. Casey, Colin Hill, Paul D. Cotter, R. Paul Ross
The objective of this study was to investigate thein vivoactivity of the
lantibiotic lacticin 3147 against the luminescentStaphylococcus aureusstrain Xen
29 using a murine model. Female BALB/c mice (7 weeks old, 17 g) were divided
into groups (n=5) and infected with the Xen 29 strain via the intraperitoneal
route at a dose of1×106 cfu/animal. After 1.5 hr, the animals were treated
subcutaneously w... hiện toàn bộ
Development of Class IIa Bacteriocins as Therapeutic AgentsInternational Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2012 - Trang 1-13 - 2012
Christopher T. Lohans, John C. Vederas
Class IIa bacteriocins have been primarily explored as natural food
preservatives, but there is much interest in exploring the application of these
peptides as therapeutic antimicrobial agents. Bacteriocins of this class possess
antimicrobial activity against several important human pathogens. Therefore, the
therapeutic development of these bacteriocins will be reviewed. Biological and

In this study, thein vitroantimicrobial activities of four plant essential oils
(T. schimperi,E. globulus,R. officinalis, andM. Chamomilla) were evaluated
against bacteria and fungi. The studies were carried out using agar diffusion
method for screening the most effective essential oils and agar dilution to
determine minimum inhibitory concentration of the essential oils. Results of
this study rev... hiện toàn bộ
The Human Microbiome and Its Impacts on HealthInternational Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2020 - Trang 1-7 - 2020
Grace A. Ogunrinola, John O. Oyewale, Oyewumi O. Oshamika, Grace I. Olasehinde
The human microbiome comprises bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotes which
reside within and outside our bodies. These organisms impact human physiology,
both in health and in disease, contributing to the enhancement or impairment of
metabolic and immune functions. Micro-organisms colonise various sites on and in
the human body, where they adapt to specific features of each niche. Facultative... hiện toàn bộ
Dermatophyte Virulence Factors: Identifying and Analyzing Genes That May Contribute to Chronic or Acute Skin InfectionsInternational Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2012 - Trang 1-8 - 2012
Rebecca Rashid Achterman, Theodore C. White
Dermatophytes are prevalent causes of cutaneous mycoses and, unlike many other
fungal pathogens, are able to cause disease in immunocompetent individuals. They
infect keratinized tissue such as skin, hair, and nails, resulting in tinea
infections, including ringworm. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms
that underlie the ability of these organisms to establish and maintain
infection. The... hiện toàn bộ
Mycobiota and Natural Incidence of Aflatoxins, Ochratoxin A, and Citrinin in Indian Spices Confirmed by LC-MS/MSInternational Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2015 - Trang 1-8 - 2015

Nine different Indian spices (red chilli, black pepper, turmeric, coriander,
cumin, fennel, caraway, fenugreek, and dry ginger) commonly cultivated and
highly used in India were analysed for natural occurrence of toxigenic mycoflora
and aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), and citrinin (CTN)

Diversity, Biocontrol, and Plant Growth Promoting Abilities of Xylem Residing Bacteria from Solanaceous CropsInternational Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2014 - Trang 1-14 - 2014
Gauri A. Achari, R. Ramesh
Eggplant (Solanum melongenaL.) is one of the solanaceous crops of economic and
cultural importance and is widely cultivated in the state of Goa, India.
Eggplant cultivation is severely affected by bacterial wilt caused byRalstonia
solanacearumthat colonizes the xylem tissue. In this study, 167 bacteria were
isolated from the xylem of healthy eggplant, chilli, andSolanum torvumSw. by

Temporal Variations among Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Serotypes in Children and Adults in Germany (1992–2008)International Journal of Microbiology - Tập 2010 - Trang 1-15 - 2010
Matthias Imöhl, Ralf René Reinert, Mark van der Linden
Nationwide surveillance of invasive pneumococcal disease has been conducted in
Germany since 1992. From 1992 to 2008, a total of 12,137 isolates from invasive
pneumococcal disease were collected. Data on serotypes were available for 9,394
invasive isolates. The leading serotypes were serotypes 14 (16.5%), 3 (8.0%), 7F
(7.6%), 1 (7.3%), and 23F (6.0%). Variations in serotype distribution over the
