report: studies on antibacterial activity of some traditional medicinal plants used in folk medicine.	ethanolic extracts of eight medicinal plants commonly used in folk medicine were tested for their antibacterial activity against four gram positive strains (bacillus subtilis, staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis and, streptococcus pneumoniae) and six gram negative strains (escherichia coli, proteus vulgaris, proteus mirabilis. salmonella typhi para a, salmonella typhi para b and shigella dysenteriae) that were obtained from different pathological laboratories located in karachi, pa ...	2012	22713958
an escherichia coli cell membrane chromatography-offline lc-tof-ms method for screening and identifying antimicrobial peptides from jatropha curcas meal protein isolate hydrolysates.	a novel, simple, and rapid method, named cell membrane affinity extraction (cmae)-offline liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (lc-tof-ms) was developed for screening and identifying antimicrobial peptides from jatropha curcas meal protein isolate hydrolysates (jcmpih) obtained by proteolytic enzyme (pepsin, trypsin, protamex, neutrase, flavourzyme, papain, alcalase, and acid protease) hydrolysis. a cationic antimicrobial peptide (cailthkr, jcpep8) was successfully isolated and ...	2012	22522648
investigations of antimicrobial activity of some cameroonian medicinal plant extracts against bacteria and yeast with gastrointestinal relevance.	resistance against antibiotics of many bacteria is accumulating. therefore, searches for new substances with antimicrobial activity have become an urgent necessity. medicinal plants are frequently used in popular medicine as remedies for many infectious diseases (intestinal infection, malaria, tuberculosis, etc.).	2012	22583961
phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of coccinia cordifolia l. plant.	the medicinal plant, coccinia cordifolia l. was analyzed for its chemical composition. the antimicrobial activities of the methanol, water, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of coccinia cordifolia l. plant were evaluated against some gram positive bacteria (sarcina lutea, bacillus subtilis and staphylococcus aureus), gram negative bacteria (salmonella typhi, shigella dysenteriae and escherichia coli) and fungi (candida albicans, aspergillus niger and penicillium notatum). chemical analysis show ...	2012	23009991

bacteria and their toxins tamed for immunotherapy.	bacterial toxins share the ability to enter host cells to target various intracellular proteins and to modulate host immune responses. over the last 20 years, toxins and their mutated variants, as well as live attenuated bacteria, have been exploited for vaccination and immunotherapy of various infectious, malignant and autoimmune diseases. the ability of bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin to translocate its adenylate cyclase domain across the host cell membrane, as well as the pathway ...	2012	22339216
synthetic oligosaccharides as tools to demonstrate cross-reactivity between polysaccharide antigens.	escherichia coli o148 is a nonencapsulated enterotoxigenic (etec) gram negative bacterium that can cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. the surface-exposed o-specific polysaccharide (o-sp) of the lipopolysaccharide of this bacterium is considered both a virulence factor and a protective antigen. it is built up of the linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit [3)-α-l-rhap-(1→2)-α-d-glcp-(1→3)-α-d-glcnacp-(1→3)-α-l-rhap-(1→] differing from that of the o-sp of s ...	2012	22713129
multicenter evaluation of a sequence-based protocol for subtyping shiga toxins and standardizing stx nomenclature.	when shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) strains emerged as agents of human disease, two types of toxin were identified: shiga toxin type 1 (stx1) (almost identical to shiga toxin produced by shigella dysenteriae type 1) and the immunologically distinct type 2 (stx2). subsequently, numerous stec strains have been characterized that express toxins with variations in amino acid sequence, some of which confer unique biological properties. these variants were grouped within the stx1 or stx ...	2012	22760050
detection of toxigenic vibrio cholerae with new multiplex pcr.	vibrio cholerae (v. cholerae) is the etiological agent of epidemic cholera. in recent years, cholera has become endemic in different regions of the world. traditional culture and microscopic methods are considered the standard for the diagnosis of v. cholerae. however, these methods require days for confirmation. therefore, molecular methods that may be used for the sensitive, accurate, and rapid analysis of v. cholerae are urgently needed.	2012	22632601
shiga toxin in enterohemorrhagic e.coli: regulation and novel anti-virulence strategies.	enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli (ehec) are responsible for major outbreaks of bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (hus) throughout the world. the mortality associated with ehec infections stems from the production and release of a potent shiga toxin (stx) by these bacteria. stx induces cell death in endothelial cells, primarily in the urinary tract, causing hus. stx was first described in shigella dysenteriae serotype i by kiyoshi shiga and was discovered later in ehec. multiple env ...	2012	22919672
novel genomic tools for specific and real-time detection of biothreat and frequently encountered foodborne pathogens.	the bacterial genera escherichia, salmonella, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, and francisella include important food safety and biothreat agents. by extensive mining of the whole genome and protein databases of diverse, closely and distantly related bacterial species and strains, we have identified novel genome regions, which we utilized to develop a rapid detection platform for these pathogens. the specific genomic targets we have identified to design the primers in francisella tularensis subsp. tu ...	2012	22488053
bacterial infections of the orbital and periorbital soft-tissues in children.	periorbital soft-tissue bacterial infections are relatively common during childhood and with appropriate antimicrobial therapy usually resolve quickly. orbital soft-tissue infections, in contrast, are rare and frequently cause serious morbidity. two hundred forty-one children with periorbital or orbital soft-tissue infections have been hospitalized since 1962 and constitute the data base for this study. two hundred twenty-six children, half under 1 year of age, had periorbital soft-tissue infect ...	2012	3724328

examination of the role of cigarette smoke in lung carcinogenesis using multistage models.	the widely used multistage model of armitage and doll is fit to the british physician lung cancer data of doll and hill under the assumption that cigarette smoke induces the initial and penultimate changes. it is shown that the best fit of this model in continuing smokers gives predictions not in accordance with incidence in ex-smokers and dose-response. a better global fit can be obtained by increasing the number of stages, but this de-emphasizes initiation and is inconsistent with the rise of ...	2012	3398067

development of a sensor for non-invasive intracranial pressure measurement in the newborn.	a new system has been developed for the non-invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure (icp) across the anterior fontanelle in the newborn. the system comprises a very small pneumatic sensor linked via two vinyl tubes to an instrument where the icp value is displayed. the sensor is simply bonded to the anterior fontanelle, using industrial collodion normally used for attaching eeg electrodes. the sensor body is injection moulded in semi-flexible polyurethane with a very thin, compliant membran ...	2012	3361874
natural selection and the heritability of fitness components.	the hypothesis that traits closely associated with fitness will generally possess lower heritabilities than traits more loosely connected with fitness is tested using 1120 narrow sense heritability estimates for wild, outbred animal populations, collected from the published record. our results indicate that life history traits generally possess lower heritabilities than morphological traits, and that the means, medians, and cumulative frequency distributions of behavioural and physiological trai ...	2012	3316130
