Biofilms have been shown to cause most human infections. The prevention and extermination of bacterial biofilms has always presented a major challenge in the clinic. The failure of traditional antibiotics and the development of bacterial resistance against these measures is on the rise. Nanoscale materials possess the advantage of presenting enhanced surface properties of bulk materials, and are emerging as effective agents for deterring microbial growth. This review article summarizes the fundamentals of bacterial growth, biofilm formation, mechanisms for antibacterial technologies, and usage of nanoparticles for the prevention and extermination of biofilms. Further research is required with respect to the appropriate usage of nanoparticles for the effective control of biofilms to save human lives and reduce healthcare costs. 相似文献

Gordonia amicalis F.5.25.8 has the unique ability to desulfurize dibenzothiophene and to metabolize carbazole [Santos et al., Appl Microbiol
Biotechnol 71:355–362, 2006]. Efforts to amplify the dsz genes from G. amicalis F.5.25.8 based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers designed using the dsz gene sequences of Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 were mostly unsuccessful. A comparison of the protein sequences of dissimilar desulfurization enzymes (DszABC, BdsABC,
and TdsABC) revealed multiple conserved regions. PCR primers targeting some of the most highly conserved regions of the desulfurization
genes allowed us to amplify dsz genes from G. amicalis F.5.25.8. DNA sequence data that include nearly the entirety of the desulfurization operon as well as the promoter region
were obtained. The most closely related dsz genes are those of G. alkinovorans strain 1B at 85% identity. The PCR primers reported here should be useful in microbial ecology studies and the amplification
of desulfurization genes from previously uncharacterized microbial cultures. 相似文献

Protein-mediated DNA looping is a common mechanism for regulating gene expression. Loops occur when a protein binds to two operators on the same DNA molecule. The probability of looping is controlled, in part, by the basepair sequence of inter-operator DNA, which influences its structural properties. One structural property is the intrinsic or stress-free curvature. In this article, we explore the influence of sequence-dependent intrinsic curvature by exercising a computational rod model for the inter-operator DNA as applied to looping of the LacR-DNA complex. Starting with known sequences for the inter-operator DNA, we first compute the intrinsic curvature of the helical axis as input to the rod model. The crystal structure of the LacR (with bound operators) then defines the requisite boundary conditions needed for the dynamic rod model that predicts the energetics and topology of the intervening DNA loop. A major contribution of this model is its ability to predict a broad range of published experimental data for highly bent (designed) sequences. The model successfully predicts the loop topologies known from fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements, the linking number distribution known from cyclization assays with the LacR-DNA complex, the relative loop stability known from competition assays, and the relative loop size known from gel mobility assays. In addition, the computations reveal that highly curved sequences tend to lower the energetic cost of loop formation, widen the energy distribution among stable and meta-stable looped states, and substantially alter loop topology. The inclusion of sequence-dependent intrinsic curvature also leads to nonuniform twist and necessitates consideration of eight distinct binding topologies from the known crystal structure of the LacR-DNA complex. 相似文献

A 55 year old male presented with recurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT). He had undergone prior catheter ablation for VT three years ago. During the prior attempt he underwent voltage guided substrate ablation. With programmed ventricular extrastimulation (PVES), PMVT was repeatedly induced requiring DC shock. Intravenous procainamide was administered and PVES was repeated which induced sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MMVT). This VT had pseudo delta waves with maximum deflection index of 0.68, suggestive of epicardial origin. Activation mapping was performed epicardially. Presystolic potentials were recorded in mid anterolateral wall of left ventricular epicardial region. Radiofrequency (RF) ablation at this site terminated the VT. Post ablation there was no inducible tachycardia and patient is free of arrhythmias during 2 years of follow-up. 相似文献

Lymphatic filariasis is endemic in India. Out of 128 million infected individuals worldwide, India accounts for 48 million cases [Manson's Tropical Diseases, 21st Ed. p 1488]. Filariasis can have protean manifestations, but Tropical pulmonary eosinophilia and chyluria are unusual manifestations reported mainly from South Asian countries [Manson's Tropical Diseases, 21st Ed. p 1494]. Chyluria occurs only in 2% of filarial afflicted patients in the filarial belt [Diamond E, Schapira HE. Chyluria--a review of literature. Urology 1985;26(5): 427-31]. Lymphatic filariasis presenting as chyluria may be equally rare. Predominant chyluria with no overt lymphatic filariasis remains an enigma. 相似文献

Background
The presence of β-lactamases in Y. enterocolitica has been reported to vary with serovars, biovars and geographical origin of the isolates. An understanding of the β-lactamases in other related species is important for an overall perception of antibiotic resistance in yersiniae. The objective of this work was to study the characteristics of β-lactamases and their genes in strains of Y. intermedia and Y. frederiksenii, isolated from clinical and non-clinical sources in India. 相似文献349.

A series of novel amino-carboxylic based pyrazole as protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors were designed on the basis of structure-based pharmacophore model and molecular docking. Compounds containing different hydrophobic tail (1,2-diphenyl ethanone, oxdiadizole and dibenzyl amines) were synthesized and evaluated in PTP1B enzymatic assay. Structure–activity relationship based optimization resulted in identification of several potent, metabolically stable and cell permeable PTP1B inhibitors. 相似文献
