Evaluation of culture methods and a dna probe-based pcr assay for detection of campylobacter species in clinical specimens of feces
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-07-01)
Campylobacter species are the leading agents of bacterial gastroenteritis in developed countries. In this study 320 specimens of feces from patients with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis were cultured for Campylobacter ...
High-throughput inference of protein-protein interfaces from unassigned nmr data
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005-06-01)
One of the limiting factors in deciphering transcriptional regulatory networks is the effectiveness of motif-finding software. An emerging avenue for improving motif-finding accuracy aims to incorporate generalized binding ...
In vivo phase variation and serologic response to lipooligosaccharide of campylobacter jejuni in experimental human infection
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-01-23)
Some Campylobacter jejuni strains which exhibit mimicry of gangliosides in their lipooligosaccharides (LOSs) are associated with development of Guillain-Barre syndrome, which complicates the selection of a suitable C. ...
Role of listeria monocytogenes b in survival of lethal acidic conditions and in the acquired acid tolerance response
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-05-01)
The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can acquire enhanced resistance to lethal acid conditions through multiple mechanisms. We investigated contributions of the stress-responsive alternative sigma factor, or ...
Micrornas as prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets: potential effect on breast cancer management
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2008-01-15)
The discovery of microRNAs (miRNA) as novel modulators of gene expression has resulted in a rapidly expanding repertoire of molecules in this family, as reflected in the concomitant expansion of scientific literature. ...
Role of subtyping in detecting salmonella cross contamination in the laboratory
(Springer Nature, 2009-01-01)
Background: With the exception of M. tuberculosis, little has been published on the problems of cross-contamination in bacteriology laboratories. We performed a retrospective analysis of subtyping data from the National ...
Evolution of astacin-like metalloproteases in animals and their function in development
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-03-01)
Astacin-like metalloproteases are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom but their phylogenetic relationships and ancient functions within the Metazoa are unclear. We have cloned and characterized four astacin-like cDNAs from ...
In vivo expression of the 25-kda laminin-binding protein ofhelicobacter pylori
