role of il-10 deficiency in pneumonia induced by corynebacterium kutscheri in mice.il-10 is an important anti-inflammatory cytokine that can inhibit the production of many pro-inflammatory cytokines. both human and animal studies have shown that pro-inflammatory cytokines play an important role in pneumonia and other inflammatory lung diseases. in the present study, il-10 knockout (ko) and wild-type mice were infected with corynebacterium kutscheri to determine whether the severity of pathogenesis and whether protective immunity could be altered in the absence of il- 10. the s ...200919421001
effect of weak acid hypochlorous solution on selected viruses and bacteria of laboratory rodents.weak acid hypochlorous solution (wahs) is known to have efficacy for inactivating pathogens and to be relatively safe with respect to the live body. based on these advantages, many animal facilities have recently been introducing wahs for daily cleaning of animal houses. in this study, we determined the effect of wahs in inactivating specific pathogens of laboratory rodents and pathogens of opportunistic infection. wahs with an actual chloride concentration of 60 ppm and a ph value of 6.0 was ge ...201424770639
metal biouptake by actively growing cells of metal-tolerant bacterial strains.metal uptake potentials of pseudomonas aeruginosa ca207ni, burkholderia cepacia ca96co, rhodococcus sp. al03ni, and corynebacterium kutscheri fl108hg were studied to determine their competence in detoxification of toxic metals during growth. metabolism-dependent metal biouptake of the bacteria revealed appreciable uptake of the metals (57-61, 10-30, 23-60, and 10-16 mg g dw(-1) of ni(2+), cr(6+), co(2+), and cd(2+), respectively) from medium, after initial drop in ph, without lag phase. the bact ...201526209420
biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the presence of nickel and cobalt.bioremediation of environments co-contaminated with hydrocarbons and heavy metals often pose a challenge as heavy metals exert toxicity to existing communities of hydrocarbon degraders. multi-resistant bacterial strains were studied for ability to degrade hydrocarbons in chemically defined media amended with 5.0 mm ni(2+), and co(2+). the bacteria, pseudomonas aeruginosa ca207ni, burkholderia cepacia al96co, and corynebacterium kutscheri fl108hg, utilized crude oil and anthracene without lag pha ...201323457074
chromium (vi) biosorption properties of multiple resistant bacteria isolated from industrial sewerage.chromium (vi) [cr (vi)] biosorption by four resistant autochthonous bacterial strains was investigated to determine their potential for use in sustainable marine water-pollution control. maximum exchange between cr (vi) ions and protons on the cells surfaces were at 30-35 °c, ph 2.0 and 350-450 mg/l. the bacterial strains effectively removed 79.0-90.5 % cr (vi) ions from solution. furthermore, 85.3-93.0 % of cr (vi) ions were regenerated from the biomasses, and 83.4-91.7 % of the metal was adsor ...201323315153
