AbstractVirulence of hantavirus strain of SR‐11 Seoul virus and Hantaan 76–118 (HTN) of Hantaan virus were compared. Infections of both strains were lethal in newborn mice. However, inoculum required to cause lethal infection was about 4,000 times higher for strain HTN (1.65 × 103 PFU/mouse/LD50) than for strain SR‐11 (0.36...... hiện toàn bộ
Anti‐inflammatory properties of intestinal Bifidobacterium strains isolated from healthy infantsMicrobiology and Immunology - Tập 56 Số 1 - Trang 27-39 - 2012
Ekaterina V. Khokhlova, Smeianov Vv, Б. А. Ефимов, Л. И. Кафарская, С. И. Павлова, Andrey N. Shkoporov
ABSTRACTCertain Bifidobacterium strains have been shown to inhibit inflammatory responses in intestinal epithelial cells. However, the precise mechanisms of these effects, including the chemical nature of the active compounds, remain to be elucidated. Here partial characterization of the anti‐inflammatory properties of Bifido...... hiện toàn bộ
Amplification of all 11 RNA segments of group A rotaviruses based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reactionMicrobiology and Immunology - Tập 56 Số 9 - Trang 630-638 - 2012
Yoshiki Fujii, Takashi Shimoike, Hirotaka Takagi, Kosuke Murakami, Reiko Todaka‐Takai, Youngbin Park, Kazuhiko Katayama
ABSTRACTGroup A rotaviruses (RVA) are a major cause of acute infantile gastroenteritis. The viral genome comprises 11 double‐stranded RNA segments and the respective gene segments are classified into more than eight genotypes, according to the nucleotide sequence similarities. So far, it has been difficult to amplify full‐length sequences of long RNA segments of ro...... hiện toàn bộ
Detection and Genetical Characterization of Shiga Toxin‐Producing Escherichia coli from Wild DeerMicrobiology and Immunology - Tập 42 Số 12 - Trang 815-822 - 1998
Hiroshi Asakura, Sou‐ichi Makino, Toshikazu Shirahata, Teizo Tsukamoto, Hisao Kurazono, Tetsuya Ikeda, Kouichi Takeshi
AbstractShiga toxin (Stx)‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from wild deer in Japan were examined. A total of 43 fecal samples were collected 4 times from 4 different sites around Obihiro City, Hokkaido, Japan, in June and July 1997. Seven STEC strains were isolated by PCR screening, all of them were confirmed by ELISA an...... hiện toàn bộ
An Evaluation of Serodiagnostic Tests in Patients with Candidemia: Beta‐Glucan, Mannan, Candida Antigen by Cand‐Tec and D‐ArabinitolMicrobiology and Immunology - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 207-212 - 1993
Shigeru Kohno, Kotaro Mitsutake, Shigefumi Maesaki, Akira Yasuoka, Takashige Miyazaki, Mitsuo Kaku, Hironobu Koga, Kohei Hara
AbstractThe serodiagnostic tests, beta‐glucan, mannan, candida antigen by Cand‐Tec, and D‐arabinitol were evaluated in 10 patients with candidemia, 14 patients with suspected fungemia, and 10 healthy persons. By blood culture or lysis centrifugation, C. albicans was isolated from 5 patients, C. parapsilosis...... hiện toàn bộ
Kinetics of Anti‐Mannan Antibodies Useful in Confirming Invasive Candidiasis in Immunocompromised PatientsMicrobiology and Immunology - Tập 40 Số 2 - Trang 125-131 - 1996
A. Johanna M. van Deventer, Wil H. F. Goessens, J H van Zeijl, Jan W. Mouton, M. F. Michel, Henri A. Verbrugh
AbstractIn studying the anti‐mannan antibodies longitudinally in serial serum samples of three immunocompromised patients, it was observed that anti‐mannan antibodies started to increase shortly after the moment that cultures of deep‐tissue sites became positive with Candida albicans. The mean anti‐mannan antibody titers determined in a g...... hiện toàn bộ
