ABSTRACT Mutations of rpoB associated with rifampin resistance were studied in 37 multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical strains Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated Italy. At least one mutated codon was found each MDR strain. It always a single-base substitution leading to an amino acid change. Nine different alleles, three which had not been reported before, found. The relative frequencies specific mutations this sample from those previously geographical areas, since 22 (59.5%) carried the TTG...
Presented in part at the XXVI Congreso Internacional de la Sociedad Farmace´utica del Mediterra´neo Latino, Medicamentos siglo XXI: Innovadores y Gene´ricos, Palma Mallorca, September 16–18, 2004. The aim of this work is to evaluate stability and release chitosan beads loaded with volatile molecules Mentha piperita essential oil (EO) a cosmetic formulation. ability quickly EO during use formulation such as bath foam also assessed. were produced three different dispersions gelled two gelling...
Anisakis spp. larvae are parasitic, and potentially zoonotic, nematodes transmitted by marine fish cephalopods, which the main intermediate hosts of third larval stage. The accidental consumption infected raw or poorly cooked may cause gastroenteric diseases allergies in humans. aim present study was to use polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) define occurrence, species variability, host preferences caught off coast Sardinia. Necropsy used on 285...
Mycobacterium marinum is the causative agent of mycobacteriosis in wild and cultured fish atypical infection humans. For diagnosis M. marinum, cultural traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods are currently used. However, these protocols, although able to discriminate within spp., have proved be time-consuming or difficult carry out. this reason, aim study was obtain a rapid specific diagnostic tool quantify spp. from other mycobacteria. A primary PCR amplification with SYBR Green...
Currently, presence of Moraxella sp. in internal organs fish is not considered detrimental for farming. However, bacterial colonization can affect wellness and decrease growth rate, stress resistance, immune response. Recently, there have been reports by farmers concerning slow growth, poor feed conversion, low average weight increase farmed offshore floating sea cages, often associated with organ Therefore, these opportunistic bacteria deserves further investigations elucidating incidence...
During formation of spores by Bacillus subtilis the RNA polymerase factor sigma(G) ordinarily becomes active during spore exclusively in prespore upon completion engulfment mother cell. Formation and activation requires prior activity sigma(F) sigma(E) Here we report that spoIIA mutants lacking both anti-sigma SpoIIAB which is not active, nevertheless active. Further, its largely confined to Thus, there a switch location from Factors contributing cell are inferred be read-through spoIIIG,...
Abstract The influence of six fungicides (benalaxyl, carbendazim, dichlofluanid, folpet, triadimefon and vinclozolin) on the fermentative activity two lactic bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum Leuconostoc oenos) was studied. possibility their degradation by these also investigated. Benalaxyl, vinclozolin did not show any interaction with Dichlofluanid reduced fermentatwe L. oenos, in proportion to its concentration, while it showed no plantarum. rapidly degraded plantarum, oenos lower.
Abstract In the Mediterranean area, salted and dried roe from gray Mugil cephalus “bottarga” represent a speciality food with great commercial value. Bottarga is currently produced by traditional handmade process and, risk of human bacterial contamination during its manufacturing still unknown; in this perspective foodborne pathogen Staphylococcus aureus could potentially contaminate product due to poor sanitation or bad handling processing. The aim work is: evaluate level pathogens at...
The effect of clarifying substances used in white winemaking (bentonite, charcoal, and K caseinate) on the decrease concentration three insecticides (Carbaryl, Dimethoate, Tetrachlorvinphos) fungicides (Dichlofluanid, Folpet, Vinclozolin) must wine was studied. Charcoal induced a dramatic reduction (80% to 93%) all active principles except Dimethoate (40%). Little or no effects were by bentonite caseinate.
Background: Common cold is the most common disease which mainly affects upper respiratory system.It caused by viral or, in a small percentage, bacterial infections.Current therapy options focus on symptomatic relief of such as nasal saline irrigation, an easy-to-apply, comfortable, non-toxic method.In this study, novel hypertonic seawater solution enriched with hyaluronic acids, eucalyptus oil, copper and manganese salts, Stérimar Stop & Protect Cold Flu (SSPCF), has been investigated...
