In vitro evaluation of antibacterial activity of Asparagopsis taxiformis from the Straits of Messina against pathogens relevant in aquaculture.	Ethanol extracts of Asparagopsis taxiformis collected from the Straits of Messina (Italy) were screened for antibacterial activity against pathogenic shellfish and fish bacteria previously isolated from local marine and brackish environments. Genetic labelling by DNA barcoding allowed us to identify the algal population as a biogeographical strain conspecific to A. taxiformis. The extract obtained in May showed the broadest antibacterial activity against all tested pathogenic bacteria, especiall ...	2012	22078751
Multiplex PCR and a chromogenic DNA macroarray for the detection of Listeria monocytogens, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Enterobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas fluorescens in milk and meat samples.	Food products, such as milk and meat products including cheese, milk powder, fermented milk, sausage, etc. are susceptible to the contamination by pathogenic and deteriorative bacteria. These bacteria include Listeria monocytogens, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Streptococcus agalactiae and Pseudomonas fluorescens, etc. Traditional methods for the detection of these microorganisms are laborious and time consuming ...	2012	22101309
Production and characterization of a novel monoclonal antibody against Vibrio parahaemolyticus F(0)F(1) ATP synthase's delta subunit and its application for rapid identification of the pathogen.	We raised monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Vibrio parahaemolyticus cell extracts. One of the MAbs, designated MAb-VP34, reacted in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) with 140 V. parahaemolyticus strains, regardless of serotype or origin. MAb-VP34 did not detectably react with 96 strains belonging to 27 other Vibrio species (except for Vibrio natriegens) or with 29 non-Vibrio species. These results show that MAb-VP34 is highly specific for V. parahaemolyticus. Western blotting and ma ...	2012	22056232
application of groel gene for the species-specific detection of vibrio parahaemolyticus by pcr.	vibrio parahaemolyticus is a significant cause of human gastrointestinal disorders and is transmitted through ingestion of raw or undercooked contaminated seafood. we used the groel gene for the species-specific detection of v. parahaemolyticus from artificially inoculated shellfish, fish and seawater.	2012	22053713
assessment of polyaromatic hydrocarbon degradation by potentially pathogenic environmental vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from coastal louisiana, usa.	a presumed vibrio parahaemolyticus isolate from chesapeake bay, maryland, usa was previously reported to grow on phenanthrene, a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (pah) found in crude oil. following the deepwater horizon oil spill in the gulf of mexico, concerns were raised that pah-degrading v. parahaemolyticus could increase in abundance, leading to elevated risks of disease derived from shellfish consumption. to assess this possibility, we examined responses to naphthalene and phenanthrene of 17 coast ...	2012	22063191
Phenoloxidase in the scallop Chlamys farreri: Purification and antibacterial activity of its reaction products generated in vitro.	Phenoloxidase (PO) was purified from hemocytes of the scallop Chlamys farreri using native-PAGE and gel permeation column chromatography, and then substrate specificity and antibacterial activity generated from reaction products of purified PO were analyzed. The results showed purified PO had a molecular mass of 576 kDa in native-PAGE and 53 kDa in denatured PAGE, and could catalyze the substrates L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), dopamine, catechol and hydroquinone suggesting it is a type ...	2012	22119576
13c nmr studies of carboxylate inhibitor binding to cobalt(ii) carboxypeptidase a.	both 13c nmr and electronic absorption spectral studies on cobalt(ii) carboxypeptidase a in the presence of acetate and phenylacetate provide evidence for two binding sites for each of these agents. the transverse relaxation rate t2-1 for the 13c-enriched carboxyl groups of the inhibitors is significantly increased when bound to the paramagnetic cobalt carboxypeptidase as compared to the diamagnetic zinc enzyme. the acetate concentration dependence of t2p-1 shows two inflections indicative of se ...	2012	3346659

validity of ear oximetry in clinical exercise testing.	because of suspicion that the ear oximeter might measure the oxyhemoglobin saturation of arterial blood inaccurately during heavy exercise, we made concurrent ear oximetric and blood measurements on 14 consecutive patients with arterial catheters during clinical exercise tests. after correcting for carboxyhemoglobin, the estimated and measured values for the oxyhemoglobin saturation of the blood agreed well, as did resting ear and blood values; however, during heavy exercise, ear oximetric value ...	2012	3816311
third generation cephalosporin antibiotics in surgical practice.	the new third generation cephalosporins have a significantly greater spectrum of action against gram-negative bacteria likely to be encountered in surgical infections. this expanded spectrum may permit these drugs to be used in place of combination therapy in patients with polymicrobial infections; however, current evidence does not indicate superior results with these agents over earlier generation choices for surgical prophylaxis. the toxicity profile of these drugs warrants close monitoring f ...	2012	3511763
[tight mitral stenosis caused by calcifications of the ring extending to the valves].	three years after valve replacement for monckeberg type aortic stenosis, a tight and poorly tolerated tight mitral stenosis is observed, secondary to massive calcifications of the ring extending to the valves. the diagnosis is made with doppler sonography and hemodynamic examination. excision of the calcifications is particularly difficult. an early death occurs. calcifications of the mitral ring extending to the valves, either isolated or mainly associated with a calcified aortic stenosis, may ...	2012	3408200
myocardial lymphocytes. fact, fancy, or myocarditis?	the diagnosis of active lymphocytic myocarditis by the use of the endomyocardial bioptome is at present a hotly debated topic. however, the question of whether lymphocytes reside in the myocardium of individuals without systemic or cardiac disease has rarely been addressed, but is obviously of critical importance in helping to resolve this issue. therefore, we examined endomyocardial biopsies obtained from 86 young heart disease-free cardiac transplant donors at the time of transplantation. foci ...	2012	3331950
