[i.b.r (author's transl)].the clinical pictures which may be produced by ibr/ipv virus in cattle are briefly reviewed. up to the autumn of 1972, infection occurred only sporadically in the netherlands, no typical cases of ibr having been reported up to the fall of that year. since the winter of 1972-1973 ibr has increasingly been diagnosed, particularly during the winter months. it may, however, be mistaken for other infections of the respiratory tract. the infection apears to be spreading. the clinical features, diagnos ...1975168664
deoxyribinucleic acid-binding proteins in virus-transformed cell lines.the synthesis of proteins with affinity for dna has been studied in clones of a syrian hamster cell line (nil) and subclones of this line transformed by polyoma virus (nil-py) or hamster sarcoma virus (nil-hsv). the results show that the synthesis of dna-binding proteins in nil and in its virus-transformed derivatives nil-py and nil-hsv is very similar in exponentially growing cells, but in dense culture there is a very significant difference in the level of a protein (p8), which is much higher ...1975165180
proton translocation in cytochrome-deficient mutants of escherichia coli.cytochrome-deficient cells of a strain of escherichia coli lacking 5-amino-levulinate synthetase have been used to study proton translocation associated with the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nadh) dehydrogenase region of the electron transport chain. menadione was used as electron acceptor, and mannitol was used as the substrate for the generation of intracellular nadh. the effects of iron deficiency on nadh- and d-lactate-menadione reductase activities were studied in iron-deficie ...1979154508
two calcium regulation systems in squid (ommastrephes sloani pacificus) muscle. preparation of calcium-sensitive myosin and troponin-tropomyosin.the ca-regulatory system in squid mantle muscle was studied. the findings were as follows. (a) squid mantle myosin b (squid myosin b) was ca-sensitive, and its ca-sensitivity was unaffected by addition of a large amount of rabbit skeletal myosin (skeletal myosin) or rabbit skeletal f-actin (skeletal f-actin). (b) squid myosin was prepared from the mantle muscle. it showed a heavy chain component and two light chain components in the sds-gel electrophoretic pattern: the molecular weights of the l ...1978153902
transcription and translation in a pleiotropic streptomycin-resistant mutant of escherichia coli.the role of the ribosomal protein s12 (streptomycin protein) in ribosome function and in other metabolic processes in the cell has been investigated. a spontaneous streptomycin-resistant strain of escherichia coli (sm3) carrying a mutation in the rpsl gene is deficient in its ability to induce the synthesis of the enzyme bets-galactosidase. it was demonstrated that the reduced rate of enzyme synthesis results from deficiencies in both the transcription of the lactose operon and translation of th ...1979104958

[treatment of renal cysts by percutaneous drainage and alcoholization. our experience].since many years renal cysts have been treated by percutaneous puncture and successive aspiration. the introduction of various sclerosing substances has been associated with this manoeuvre. in our study we examined 44 patients with renal cysts submitted to percutaneous puncture, aspiration and injection with 95% ethanol. we thought right to leave a small pig tail catheter so that the sclerosing substance could be easily and completely eliminated allowing the adhesion of the cystic walls in the f ...19902212715
pyridoxal phosphate-dependent histidine decarboxylases. cloning, sequencing, and expression of genes from klebsiella planticola and enterobacter aerogenes and properties of the overexpressed enzymes.the hdc genes encoding the inducible pyridoxal-p-dependent histidine decarboxylase (hisdcase) of klebsiella planticola and enterobacter aerogenes were isolated, sequenced, and expressed in escherichia coli under control of the lac promoter, and the overproduced enzymes were purified to homogeneity from the recombinant host. formation of inclusion bodies during synthesis of the e. aerogenes enzyme was avoided by cooling the culture and inducing at 25 degrees c. the cloned enzymes were produced in ...19912033044
the anaerobic utilisation of cyanide in the presence of sugars by microbial cultures can involve an abiotic process.the degradation of cyanide under anaerobic conditions in the presence of a growing culture of a strain of klebsiella planticola has been shown to be due to a chemical process dependent upon the presence of a reducing sugar in the medium. the conversion of cyanide to ammonia was independent of any biological factors under these conditions.19911884979
[the detection of pathogenic properties in soil nitrogen-fixing enterobacteria].two klebsiella planticola nitrogen-binding soil strains have been found capable, when introduced intraperitoneally into white mice, of killing the animals, the ld50 of the strains being 8.8 +/- 0.1 and 9.0 +/- 0.2. in two k. pneumoniae strains isolated from internal organs of sick agricultural animals the presence of nitrogen-binding activity has been established.19911838655
activation of the plasma membrane h(+)-atpase of saccharomyces cerevisiae by addition of hydrogen peroxide.addition of hydrogen peroxide (greater than 10 mm) to aerated derepressed cells of s. cerevisiae in the absence of substrate caused a boost of endogenous respiration and both intra- and extracellular acidification, without any significant change in cellular atp level. furthermore, a hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane was indicated by an enhanced accumulation of tetraphenylphosphonium in the cells. the extracellular ph attained was as low as 3.5. the acidification could be suspended by the ...19911831983
astrocytes: a possible primary site for colchicine-mediated neurotoxicity in the rat striatum.ultrastructural changes in rat astrocytes including endfoot swelling and rupture of plasma membranes were seen as early as 1 h after injection of 6.0 micrograms colchicine (co) into the striatum. significant change in neuronal morphology was not seen by 24 h. astrocytes may therefore be primary targets for co-mediated damage, which then may have secondary neurotoxic consequences.19911828783

method for differentiating klebsiella planticola and klebsiella terrigena from other klebsiella species.conventional methods usually fail to identify klebsiella planticola and klebsiella terrigena, which represent up to 19% of clinical klebsiella isolates. by combining four carbon substrate assimilation tests and two conventional tests, the method identified these species with a specificity and a sensitivity of 100%. overall, sensitivity for klebsiella identification was 94.7%.19948027329
a histidine decarboxylase gene encoded by the vibrio anguillarum plasmid pjm1 is essential for virulence: histamine is a precursor in the biosynthesis of anguibactin.we have identified and sequenced an hdc gene in the vibrio anguillarum plasmid pjm1 which encodes a histidine decarboxylase enzyme and is an essential component for the biosynthesis of anguibactin. the open reading frame corresponds to a protein of 386 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 44,259.69 da. the amino acid sequence has extensive homology with the pyridoxal-p-dependent histidine decarboxylases of morganella morganii, klebsiella planticola, and enterobacter aerogenes. tn3-hoh ...19957752899
formate and ethanol are the major products of glycerol fermentation produced by a klebsiella planticola strain isolated from red deer.the rumen contents of red deer (cervus elaphus) were used to isolate bacterial capable of fermenting glycerol. the biochemistry, physiology, morphology and phylogeny of one isolate were studied in detail. the isolate (dr3) was tentatively identified as a strain of the species klebsiella planticola as based on phenotypic characterization. the data obtained from 16s rrna sequence analysis showed that the deer rumen isolate dr3 was 99.7% similar to the type strain of kl. planticola (dsm 3069t), thu ...19979281820
kinetic analysis and comparison of models of xylose metabolism by klebsiella planticola.a model for the degradation of xylose and ethanol production by klebsiella planticola is proposed and compared with the exponential and michaelis-menten approaches. this model is based on the energy system diagrams and it is a simplified version of a previous model developed for the glucose and ethanol kinetics of the yeast saccharomices cerevisiae. in this model the dynamics of the substrate and of the final product are strictly related by means of the cellular activity. this model shows superi ...19968858100
identification of clinical isolates of indole-positive klebsiella spp., including klebsiella planticola, and a genetic and molecular analysis of their beta-lactamases.in a collection of 43 indole-positive klebsiella clinical isolates, which were initially identified as klebsiella oxytoca, there were 18 isolates which exhibited a pattern characteristic of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) resistance. this study aimed to confirm their identity by biochemical tests and by pcr and to determine the genetic basis for their resistance to the beta-lactams and broad-spectrum cephalosporins. chromosomal beta-lactamase genes were analyzed by pcr, and plasmid-media ...19979276417

effect of aerosolization on culturability and viability of gram-negative bacteria.estimations of the bacterial content of air can be more easily made now than a decade ago, with colony formation the method of choice for enumeration of airborne bacteria. however, plate counts are subject to error because bacteria exposed to the air may remain viable yet lose the ability to form colonies, i.e., they become viable but nonculturable. if airborne bacteria exhibit this phenomenon, colony formation data will significantly underestimate the bacterial populations in air samples. the o ...19979293010
isolation of klebsiella planticola from newborns in a neonatal ward.this is the first report on the isolation of klebsiella planticola from neonates. over a period of 1 year, oropharyngeal and rectal swab specimens from 131 newborns on a neonatal ward were monitored for klebsiella spp. thirteen strains of k. planticola could be isolated, and these represented 9% of all klebsiella spp. found. capsule type k27 predominated, followed by capsule type k68. our findings suggest a significant rate of colonization by k. planticola among neonates.19989666015
the influence of bacterial inoculants on the microbial ecology of aerobic spoilage of barley silage.the aerobic decomposition of barley silage treated with two inoculants (laca and lacb) containing mixtures of lactobacillus plantarum and enterococcus faecium was investigated over a 28-day period. initially, yeast and bacterial populations were larger in silage inoculated with laca than in silage treated with lacb or water alone (control). differences in the succession of yeasts in silage treated with laca were observed relative to the other two treatments. from silage treatment with laca, issa ...199910349723
phylogenetic diversity of klebsiella pneumoniae and klebsiella oxytoca clinical isolates revealed by randomly amplified polymorphic dna, gyra and parc genes sequencing and automated ribotyping.the infra-specific phylogenetic diversity and genetic structure of both klebsiella pneumoniae and klebsiella oxytoca was investigated using a combination of randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis, sequencing of gyra and parc genes, and automated ribotyping. after rapd analysis with four independent primers of 120 clinical isolates collected from 22 european hospitals in 13 countries, k. pneumoniae isolates fell into three clusters and k. oxytoca isolates fell into two clusters, while ...200111411715

further studies on rpos in enterobacteria: identification of rpos in enterobacter cloacae and kluyvera cryocrescens.rpos, the alternative sigma factor sigma(s), is important for bacterial survival under extreme conditions. many enterobacteria are opportunistic human pathogens and their ability to survive in a changing environment could be an essential step for their virulence. to determine the presence of this gene in enteric bacteria, an escherichia coli rpos probe was constructed and used to detect the presence of this gene in different species. a gene homologous to rpos was found in citrobacter amalonaticu ...200111491080
4-hydroxybenzoate uptake in klebsiella planticola strain dsz1 is driven by deltaph.klebsiella planticola strain dsz1 has the ability to degrade different aromatic compounds such as benzoate and organochlorinated as propachlor and alachlor. dsz1 strain cells mineralised 4-hydroxybenzoate (4hba) through a meta-cleavage pathway, yielding protocatechuate as dihydroxylated intermediate, with a specific rate of co2 formation 0.12 x 10-6 (cpm/od) h-1, and a rate of 4-hba utilisation of 0.75 mmol h-1. aerobically the 4hba transport system is driven by gradient of protons (deltaph), bu ...200211727038
klebsiella pneumoniae produces no histamine: raoultella planticola and raoultella ornithinolytica strains are histamine producers.histamine fish poisoning is caused by histamine-producing bacteria (hpb). klebsiella pneumoniae and klebsiella oxytoca are the best-known hpb in fish. however, 22 strains of hpb from fish first identified as k. pneumoniae or k. oxytoca by commercialized systems were later correctly identified as raoultella planticola (formerly klebsiella planticola) by additional tests. similarly, five strains of raoultella ornithinolytica (formerly klebsiella ornithinolytica) were isolated from fish as new hpb. ...200212089029

antimicrobial resistance in gram-negative bacilli isolated from infant formulas.a total of 90 samples of infant formula (if) were collected from the lactary of a teaching hospital, during a 4-month period from july to august 1999. the sanitary conditions of the formulas were analyzed, and a physiological characterization of gram-negative bacillus isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed. colony counts were considered to be unacceptable for the majority of the if samples and the contamination rates were related to inadequate handling. coliforms (35 de ...200314638421
dna based classification of food associated enterobacteriaceae previously identified by biolog gn microplates.enterobacteriaceae are frequently isolated from food products and it is essential to have methods for correct identification for both food hygiene and epidemiology reasons. phenotypic methods are not always sufficient and have to be supplemented by dna based methods. in the present study, 70 strains of enterobacteriaceae derived from milk, fish and meat that had previously been identified by biolog gn microplates were genomically classified together with 15 representative type strains of species ...200415046311
high-level expression of a recombinant protein in klebsiella planticola owing to induced secretion into the culture medium.the tn5-based transposon tn5-kil3 (miksch et al. 1997c) bearing the kil gene of the cole1 plasmid of escherichia coli, which mediates controlled export of periplasmic proteins into the culture medium, was stably integrated into the chromosome of klebsiella planticola with high transposition frequency. a bacillus hybrid beta-glucanase located on an rsf1010-derived plasmid was mobilized from e. coli to k. planticola and used as a reporter protein to select strains with high expression and secretio ...199910390821
recommended test panel for differentiation of klebsiella species on the basis of a trilateral interlaboratory evaluation of 18 biochemical tests.klebsiella pneumoniae and klebsiella oxytoca are the two most frequently encountered klebsiella species giving rise to infections in humans, but other klebsiella species can also be found in clinical specimens: klebsiella ozaenae, klebsiella rhinoscleromatis, klebsiella terrigena, klebsiella planticola, klebsiella ornithinolytica, and enterobacter aerogenes (klebsiella mobilis). however, many of these species are indistinguishable by the conventional methods employed routinely in the clinical mi ...200415297514
