| cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency in georgia (usa): correlation of clinical and biochemical phenotype with genotype. | cystathionine beta-synthase (cbs) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is the most frequent cause of clinical homocystinuria. patients not treated in infancy have multi-systems disorders including dislocated lenses, mental deficiency, osteoporosis, premature arteriosclerosis, and thrombosis. in this paper, we examine the relationship of the clinical and biochemical phenotypes with the genotypes of 12 cbs deficient patients from 11 families from the state of georgia, usa. by dna ... | 2003 | 14635102 |
| a protective endophyte of maize: acremonium zeae antibiotics inhibitory to aspergillus flavus and fusarium verticillioides. | the maize endophyte acremonium zeae is antagonistic to kernel rotting and mycotoxin producing fungi aspergillus flavus and fusarium verticillioides in cultural tests for antagonism, and interferes with a. flavus infection and aflatoxin contamination of preharvest maize kernels. chemical studies of an organic extract from maize kernel fermentations of acremonium zeae (nrrl 13540), which displayed significant antifungal activity against aspergillus flavus and f. verticillioides, revealed that the ... | 2005 | 16018316 |
| microbial quality of soft drinks served by the dispensing machines in fast food restaurants and convenience stores in griffin, georgia, and surrounding areas. | this study was undertaken to evaluate the microbial quality of the soft drinks served by fast food restaurants and gas station convenience stores in griffin, ga, and surrounding areas. the soft drinks were collected from the dispensing machines in 8 fast food restaurants or gas station convenience stores in 2005 (n = 25) and in 10 fast food restaurants or gas station convenience stores in 2006 (n = 43) and 2007 (n = 43). one hundred milliliters of each soft drink was filtered through a hydrophob ... | 2009 | 20003747 |
| multilocus sequence type analysis reveals both clonality and recombination in populations of candida glabrata bloodstream isolates from u.s. surveillance studies. | the human commensal yeast candida glabrata is becoming increasingly important as an agent of nosocomial bloodstream infection. however, relatively little is known concerning the genetics and population structure of this species. we have analyzed 230 incident bloodstream isolates from previous and current population-based surveillance studies by using multilocus sequence typing (mlst). our results show that in the u.s. cities of atlanta, ga; baltimore, md; and san francisco, ca during three time ... | 2010 | 20190071 |
