| hydrogel patches containing triclosan for acne treatment. | adhesive hydrogel patches containing triclosan (ts) were prepared as an anti-acne dosage form. sodium polyacrylate and carboxymethylcellulose (sodium salt) were used as matrix polymers, and al(3+), produced by the reaction of dihydroxy aluminum aminoacetate and l(+)-tartaric acid, was employed as a crosslinking agent for the negatively charged polymers. the crosslinking reactions were done at 25, 40 and 50 degrees c for predetermined time intervals. the semi-solid gels were obtained only when th ... | 2003 | 14602184 |
| bacteriologic findings in patients with chronic sinusitis. | we studied the bacteriology of maxillary sinus aspirates obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic sinusitis. we recovered 659 strains from 510 aspirates; of these, 572 (86.8%) were aerobes and 87 (13.2%) were anaerobes. aerobes only were recovered from 310 of the 510 specimens (60.8%) and anaerobes only from 31 (6.1%). among the 572 aerobic bacteria, the most prevalent organisms were streptococcus viridans (158 strains [27.6%]), streptococcus pneumoniae (67 [11.7%]), corynebacterium species ... | 2003 | 14606178 |
| analysis of clinical isolates of propionibacterium acnes by optimised rapd. | random amplification of polymorphic dna (rapd) was evaluated as a genotypic method for typing clinical strains of propionibacterium acnes. rapd can suffer from problems of reproducibility if parameters are not standardised. in this study the reaction conditions were optimised by adjusting template dna concentration and buffer constituents. all isolates were typeable using the optimised rapd protocol which was found to be highly discriminatory (simpson's diversity index, 0.98) and reproducible. t ... | 2003 | 14612236 |
| molecular diagnosis of a vascular prosthesis infection, due to propionibacterium acnes, by amplification and sequencing of 16s rdna. | we describe a case of indolent vascular prosthesis infection due to propionibacterium acnes. the microorganism was identified only by amplification and sequencing of 16s rdna, while standard cultures remained negative. this observation underscores the usefulness of molecular techniques for the diagnosis of infection caused by fastidious microorganisms. | 2003 | 14616731 |
| [the influence of a new surface treatment of silicone intracoular lenses with fluoralkylsitan on the adherence of endophthalmitic bacteria in vitro]]. | dynasilan is a fluoroalkylsilan which is able to bind to surface active molecules of intraocular lenses (iols), thereby offering a new option for surface modification of silicone lenses. the purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of this new surface treatment on the adherence of two typical endophthalmitis-inducing bacteria ( staphylococcus epidermidis, propionibacterium acnes). | 2003 | 14618356 |
| propionibacterium acnes dna detected in bronchoalveolar lavage cells from patients with sarcoidosis. | the causes of sarcoidosis are unknown. propionibacterium acnes is so far the only bacterium to be found in sarcoid lymph nodes. we attempted to detect p. acnes dna in cells recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) from patients with sarcoidosis. | 2003 | 14620162 |
| diversity of l-leucine catabolism in various microorganisms involved in dairy fermentations, and identification of the rate-controlling step in the formation of the potent flavour component 3-methylbutanal. | various microorganisms, belonging to the genera lactococcus, lactobacillus, streptococcus, leuconostoc, bifidobacterium, propionibacterium, brevibacterium, corynebacterium and arthrobacter, used in dairy fermentations such as cheese making, were analysed for their potential to convert leucine into flavour components, most notably 3-methylbutanal. a large variation between and within species was observed for various enzyme activities involved in the conversion pathway, e.g. transaminases, alpha-h ... | 2004 | 14624315 |
| microbiology's principle of biofilms as a major factor in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. | propionibacterium acnes reside within the pilosebaceous unit in a biofilm. as such, they live in a community of bacteria that encase themselves within an extracellular polysaccharide lining, which the organisms secrete after adherence to the surface. this gylcocalyx polymer acts as a protective exoskeleton and serves as a physical barrier, limiting effective antimicrobial concentrations within the biofilm microenvironment. the gylcocalyx polymer secreted by p. acnes as a biofilm may explain the ... | 2003 | 14636182 |
| effects of opc-6535 on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury in the rat: involvement of superoxide and tumor necrosis factor-alpha from hepatic macrophages. | the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of opc-6535 on propionibacterium acnes-primed and lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury in the rat. | 2003 | 14639361 |
| is antibiotic resistance in cutaneous propionibacteria clinically relevant? : implications of resistance for acne patients and prescribers. | it is well recognized that some patients with acne do not respond adequately to antibiotic therapy. it is important to distinguish antibiotic recalcitrant acne which we would suggest represents acne that shows a diminished response to treatment irrespective of the cause as opposed to 'antibiotic-resistant acne' which is acne that is less responsive to treatment as a direct consequence of skin colonization with resistant propionibacteria. here we show that antibiotic-resistant acne is not just a ... | 2003 | 14640775 |
| is androgenetic alopecia a photoaggravated dermatosis? | progressive thinning of the scalp hair in androgenetic alopecia (aga) results in a gradual decline in natural protection of the scalp from ultraviolet radiation (uvr). a number of pathologic conditions of the scalp are evidently related to uvr, particularly photosensitive diseases and disorders of the chronically photodamaged bald scalp. the most important chronic effects of uvr are photocarcinogenesis and solar elastosis. besides these, erosive pustular dermatosis and 'red scalp' are distinct d ... | 2003 | 14657623 |
| assessment of etiologic agents in acne pathogenesis. | acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous units. traditional etiologic factors include increased sebum production, ductal hyperkeratosis, abnormality of the microbial flora within the pilosebaceous unit, and mediators of inflammation. recent developments do not refute these familial elements, but rather refine particular aspects. interleukin-1a influences hypercornification of the infundibulum as well as the inflammatory response by inducing the production of vascular endotheli ... | 2003 | 14673275 |
| subantimicrobial dose doxycycline for acne and rosacea. | acne vulgaris and rosacea present therapeutic challenges due to their chronicity, potential for disfigurement, and psychosocial impact. although pathophysiologically distinct, both conditions have major inflammatory components. consequently, topical and systemic antimicrobial agents are routinely prescribed for extended periods. emergence of resistant strains of propionibacterium acnes, adverse events, and compliance issues associated with chronic systemic tetracycline use have led to new treatm ... | 2003 | 14673277 |
| multiple bacteria in aortic aneurysms. | the purpose of the present study was to reexamine the possibility that bacteria, particularly anaerobes, are present in aortic aneurysms. | 2003 | 14681645 |

| in vitro assessment of the upper gastrointestinal tolerance of potential probiotic dairy propionibacteria. | this study aimed to assess the transit tolerance of potential probiotic dairy propionibacteria strains in human upper gastrointestinal tract in vitro, and to evaluate the effect of food addition on viability of these strains in simulated ph 2.0 gastric juices. the transit tolerance of 13 dairy propionibacteria strains was determined at 37 degrees c by exposing washed cell suspensions to simulated gastric juices at ph values at 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0, and simulated small intestinal juices (ph 8.0) wit ... | 2004 | 14984773 |
| expression and crystallization of several forms of the propionibacterium shermanii transcarboxylase 5s subunit. | the dimeric outer 5s subunit of transcarboxylase has been expressed in three different forms and crystallized: native 5s, 5s-his(6) and selenomethione-5s-his(6). all the crystals have an orthorhombic space group, but while native 5s forms primitive orthorhombic crystals, 5s-his(6) crystals are either c-centered or primitive and semet-5s-his(6) crystals are c-centered. crystallization of native 5s requires the addition of lithium sulfate, whereas this salt prevented crystallization of 5s-his(6). ... | 2004 | 14993680 |
| the use of a bacteria detection system to evaluate bacterial contamination in plt concentrates. | random-donor plts (rdps) are functional at 7 days. nevertheless, since the mid-1980s, concern for bacterial contamination has caused the storage period to be reduced to 5 days. the ability of a bacteria detection system (bds, pall) to determine bacterial contamination and permit extension of the plt shelf life to 7 days was assessed. | 2004 | 14996189 |
| evaluation of a new generation of plastic culture bottles with an automated microbial detection system for nine common contaminating organisms found in plt components. | a microbial detection system (bact/alert 3d, biomérieux [formerly organon teknika]) has previously been validated with a variety of bacterial contaminants in plts. the recovery of nine organisms seeded into plts with new plastic culture bottles was studied in comparison to the current glass bottles. the use of plastic instead of glass would be expected to reduce the risk of injury. | 2004 | 14996192 |
| enhancement of trehalose production in dairy propionibacteria through manipulation of environmental conditions. | we have shown that the ability to produce trehalose is widespread within the genus propionibacterium. eighteen strains isolated from dairy sources were screened for trehalose synthesis; the effect of environmental conditions on trehalose production was evaluated in propionibacterium freudenreichii ssp. shermanii nizo b365, a strain that accumulated high amounts of this disaccharide. lactose was the best carbohydrate source for trehalose production, whereas lactate, the substrate that led to the ... | 2004 | 14996463 |
| in situ assessment of porphyrin photosensitizers in propionibacterium acnes. | porphyrins are known to be efficient photosensitizer molecules and the combined action of light and porphyrins in propionibacterium acnes have a lethal action on the cells. identification and quantification of in situ porphyrins in p. acnes have been done using an integrating sphere connected to an ordinary absorption spectrophotometer, and the amounts of porphyrins in the cells were quantified by measuring scattering free absorption spectra of the cell suspensions. the concentration of porphyri ... | 2004 | 15018060 |
| propionibacterium acnes lipase in seborrheic dermatitis and other skin diseases and unsei-in. | we examined propionibacterium acnes lipase in skin diseases and unsei-in. butyric acid production in axillary seborrheic dermatitis (asd) was higher than in other dermatitis, and that in acne vulgaris (av) was significantly higher than in controls. p. acnes lipase is the pathogenic factor in av and fatty acids produced by lipase might be the pathogenic factor in asd. unsei-in suppressed p. acnes lipase probably because some ingredients have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. | 2003 | 15018307 |
| two different propionicins produced by propionibacterium thoenii p-127. | the bacteriocin gbz-1 was purified from the growth media of propionibacterium thoenii p-127 and was found to have a molecular weight of 6000da. p. thoenii p-127 also known as the producer of the bacteriocin plg-1 (mw 10kda). under specific growth conditions, on semi-solid media, p. thoenii p-127 produced both plg-1 and gbz-1. the n-terminal of gbz-1 was microsequenced, the gene was cloned and the dna sequence was determined and identified. gbz-1 is highly homologous to a protease-activated antim ... | 2003 | 15019204 |
