New treatment options are needed to prevent relapses following failed antibiotic therapies of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) in humans. The concomitant therapy with an anti-C. difficile IgA containing whey protein concentrate can support the sustainable recovery of CDI patients. For 31 weeks, nine dairy cows were continuously vaccinated with several anti-C. difficile vaccines by certain ro...... hiện toàn bộ
Long‐term monitoring of common spadefoot toad activity in a European steppe using barn owl pelletsJournal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki - - 2021
Lukas Landler, Katharina Stefke
AbstractBackgroundOne third of the worldwide amphibian species are threatened, therefore, efficient monitoring efforts are needed. Amphibians which adopt a hidden lifestyle, such as the common spadefoot toad, are often missed with standard surveying efforts. Spadefoot toads can be identified in regurgitated pellets of the barn owl...... hiện toàn bộ
Different solutions lead to similar life history traits across the great divides of the amniote tree of lifeJournal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki - Tập 28 - Trang 1-17 - 2021

Amniote vertebrates share a suite of extra-embryonic membranes that distinguish them from anamniotes. Other than that, however, their reproductive characteristics could not be more different. They differ in basic ectothermic vs endothermic physiology, in that two clades evolved powered flight, and one clade evolved a protective shell. In terms of reproductive strategies, some produce eggs and othe...... hiện toàn bộ
Gram-negative and -positive bacteria differentiation in blood culture samples by headspace volatile compound analysisJournal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki - Tập 23 - Trang 1-8 - 2016

Identification of microorganisms in positive blood cultures still relies on standard techniques such as Gram staining followed by culturing with definite microorganism identification. Alternatively, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry or the analysis of headspace volatile compound (VC) composition produced by cultures can help to differentiate between micro...... hiện toàn bộ

Unbiased phenotypic identification of functionally distinct hematopoietic progenitorsJournal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki - Tập 26 - Trang 1-5 - 2019
Grigorios Georgolopoulos, Mineo Iwata, Nikoletta Psatha, Minas Yiangou, Jeff Vierstra
Hematopoiesis is a model-system for studying cellular development and differentiation. Phenotypic and functional characterization of hematopoietic progenitors has significantly aided our understanding of the mechanisms that govern fate choice, lineage specification and maturity. Methods for progenitor isolation have historically relied on complex flow-cytometric strategies based on nested, arbitra...... hiện toàn bộ
Paralia (Bacillariophyta) stowaways in ship ballast: implications for biogeography and diversity of the genusJournal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki - Tập 22 - Trang 1-26 - 2015
Michael L MacGillivary, Irena Kaczmarska
The genus Paralia Heiberg is one of the most recognizable, widely distributed and commonly reported diatoms from contemporary coastal marine environments and ship ballast. Species discovery has historically been made in diatoms through the recognition of morphological discontinuities between specimens, first using light and later electron microscopy. However, recently, morphologically semi-cryptic...... hiện toàn bộ
