| intratumoral injection of propionibacterium acnes suppresses malignant melanoma by enhancing th1 immune responses. | malignant melanoma (mm) is an aggressive cutaneous malignancy associated with poor prognosis; many putatively therapeutic agents have been administered, but with mostly unsuccessful results. propionibacterium acnes (p. acnes) is an aerotolerant anaerobic gram-positive bacteria that causes acne and inflammation. after being engulfed and processed by phagocytes, p. acnes induces a strong th1-type cytokine immune response by producing cytokines such as il-12, ifn-γ and tnf-α. the characteristic th2 ... | 2011 | 22216160 |
| factors affecting microbial contamination rate of cord blood collected for transplantation. | background: collection and processing of cord blood (cb) is associated with significant risk of microbial contamination and hence relevant standards mandate microbial screening of the final product. this study aimed to determine the contamination rate and associated risk factors during 14 years of banking at the sydney cord blood bank. study design and methods: cb was collected and processed using a closed system and tested for contamination using blood culture bottles (bact/alert, biomérieux) i ... | 2011 | 22211719 |
| a temporal -omic study of propionibacterium freudenreichii cirm-bia1 adaptation strategies in conditions mimicking cheese ripening in the cold. | propionibacterium freudenreichii is used as a ripening culture in swiss cheese manufacture. it grows when cheeses are ripened in a warm room (about 24°c). cheeses with an acceptable eye formation level are transferred to a cold room (about 4°c), inducing a marked slowdown of propionic fermentation, but p. freudenreichii remains active in the cold. to investigate the p. freudenreichii strategies of adaptation and survival in the cold, we performed the first global gene expression profile for this ... | 2012 | 22253706 |
| the role of rifampin against propionibacterium acnes biofilm in vitro and in an experimental foreign-body infection model. | propionibacterium acnes is an important cause of orthopedic implant-associated infections, for which the optimal treatment has not yet been determined. we investigated the activity of rifampin, alone and in combination, against planktonic and biofilm p. acnes in vitro and in a foreign-body infection model. the mic and the minimal bactericidal concentration (mbc) were 0.007 and 4 μg/ml for rifampin, 1 and 4 μg/ml for daptomycin, 1 and 8 μg/ml for vancomycin, 1 and 2 μg/ml for levofloxacin, 0.03 a ... | 2012 | 22252806 |
