Spores of a variety bacteria are resistant to common decontamination agents, and many them major causes food spoilage some serious human diseases, including anthrax caused by spores Bacillus anthracis . Consequently, there is an ongoing need for efficient methods spore eradication, in particular that have minimal deleterious effects on people or the environment. UV radiation at 254 nm (UV ) sporicidal commonly used surface but can cause humans. Recent work, however, suggests 222-nm 222 may...
Clinical isolates of Treponema pallidum subspecies (T. pallidum) would facilitate study prevalent strains. We describe the first successful rabbit propagation T. from cryopreserved ulcer specimens. Fresh exudates were collected and with consent syphilis-diagnosed patients (N = 8). Each eight age-matched adult male rabbits later inoculated a thawed specimen, two receiving 1.3 ml intratesticularly (IT), six 0.6 intravenously (IV) IT. Monitoring serology, blood PCR orchitis showed that grew in...
Seasonal influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that annually affects millions of people worldwide. To identify currently circulating virus subtypes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s International Reagent Resource distributes World Health Organization (WHO) reagent kits, which are used globally by testing laboratories surveillance. The data generated kits aid in strain selection vaccine each season. use animals to produce high quality quantities antibodies critical...
