| the use of chromagar orientation as a primary isolation medium with presumptive identification for the routine screening of urine specimens. | the aim of the study was to compare the use of a novel differential culture medium chromagar, for both primary isolation and presumptive identificaton, with the method currently used in our laboratory for screening mid-stream-urine samples (msu). routine methods (rm) included blotting paper imprinting of all specimens and additional quantitative culture on cysteine lactose electrolyte-deficient agar (cled) for selected samples together with microbact 12e for further identification. the chromagar ... | 1999 | 10519322 |
| regulation of inducible ampc beta-lactamase expression among enterobacteriaceae. | ampc ss-lactamases are active-site serine enzymes that are primarily cephalosporinases. in many gram negative organisms, including enterobacter spp.,citrobacter freundii, serratia marcescens, morganella morganii and pseudomonas aeruginosa, the expression of chromosomal ampc genes is low but inducible in response to ss-lactams and other stimuli. the current working model for ampc induction requires exposure of bacterial cells to ss-lactam drugs or other stimuli and is linked to the cell wall recy ... | 1999 | 10539994 |

| cefotaxime-hydrolysing beta lactamases in morganella morganii. | the frequency of enterobacterial isolates with high resistance to expanded-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics (mainly cefotaxime or ceftriaxone) has increased notoriously in argentina, mainly because of the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. the aim of this work was the study of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in several morganella morganii isolates with unusually high resistance to ceftriaxone. these strains produced at least two beta-lactamases, of apparent pis of 5.4 and 8.2, molecu ... | 1999 | 10584905 |
| a novel integron in salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis, carrying the bla(dha-1) gene and its regulator gene ampr, originated from morganella morganii. | the genetic organization of the gene coding for dha-1 and the corresponding ampr gene was determined by pcr mapping. these genes have been mobilized from the morganella morganii chromosome and inserted into a complex suli-type integron, similar to in6 and in7. however, they are not themselves mobile cassettes. this integron probably includes a specific site for recombination allowing the mobilization of diverse resistance genes, as observed for bla(cmy-1) and bla(mox-1). | 2000 | 10602756 |

| type i nitroreductases in soil enterobacteria reduce tnt (2,4,6,-trinitrotoluene) and rdx (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine). | many enteric bacteria express a type i oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase, which reduces nitro groups on many different nitroaromatic compounds under aerobic conditions. enzymatic reduction of nitramines was also documented in enteric bacteria under anaerobic conditions. this study indicates that nitramine reduction in enteric bacteria is carried out by the type i, or oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase, rather than a type ii enzyme. the enteric bacterium morganella morganii strain b2 with document ... | 2000 | 10749541 |

| identification of bacteria crucial to histamine accumulation in pacific mackerel during storage. | bacterial growth and histamine formation in pacific mackerel during storage at 0, 4, 15, and 25 degrees c were monitored. to identify bacterial species contributing to histamine formation, several groups of bacteria were isolated by using selective media under temperatures corresponding to the various storage conditions. initially, low counts of bacteria were found in the gill, skin, and intestine of fresh fish, and only weak histamine formers were found in the gill. histamine was found in the m ... | 2001 | 11601705 |
| coordination chemistry of the carboxylate type siderophore rhizoferrin: the iron(iii) complex and its metal analogs. | rhizoferrin is a member of a new class of siderophores (microbial iron transport compounds) based on carboxylate and hydroxy donor groups rather than the commonly encountered hydroxamates and catecholates. we have studied the coordination chemistry of rhizoferrin (rf), as a representative of this group, with fe(3+), rh(3+), cr(3+), al(3+), ga(3+), vo(2+), and cu(2+). the metal complexes have been studied by uv-vis, cd, nmr, and epr spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. the formation constants fo ... | 1996 | 11666790 |
| antibacterial effect of human v gamma 2v delta 2 t cells in vivo. | v gamma 2v delta 2 cells, a class of t cells found only in primates, are reactive to nonpeptide organophosphate and alkylamine antigens secreted by bacteria and parasites. these cells make up 2-5% percent of human peripheral blood t cells but expand to make up 8-60% of peripheral blood t cells during bacterial and parasitic infections. we show here, using a chimeric severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) mouse (hu-scid) model, that human v gamma 2v delta 2 t cells mediate resistance to extracel ... | 2001 | 11696580 |
| human v gamma 2v delta 2 t cells produce ifn-gamma and tnf-alpha with an on/off/on cycling pattern in response to live bacterial products. | whereas cytokine production in alphabeta t cells is rapidly regulated by exposure to peptide ag, the mechanisms regulating cytokine production by gammadelta t cells are unknown. in this study, we demonstrate that human vgamma2vdelta2 t cells produce ifn-gamma and tnf-alpha as early as 2 h after ag exposure, and that they produce these cytokines in a dose- and time- dependent manner in response to stimulation with a live bacterial product, iso-butylamine (iba), but not to dead bacteria or lps. ga ... | 2001 | 11714780 |
