Detection of bacterial spores with lanthanide-macrocycle binary complexes.
The detection of bacterial spores via dipicolinate-triggered lanthanide luminescence has been improved in terms of detection limit, stability, and susceptibility to interferents by use of lanthanide-macrocycle binary complexes. Specifically, we compared the effectiveness of Sm, Eu, Tb, and Dy complexes with the macrocycle 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-diacetate (DO2A) to the corresponding ...
متن کاملAutofluorescence as a viability marker for detection of bacterial spores.
Recent biological terrorism events have indicated that bacterial spores such as Bacillus anthracis are real threat agents. Real time detection of biological agents is possible with the use of an ultraviolet Fluorescent Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (FLAPS) that measures particles' intrinsic fluorescence. It is important to know whether intrinsic fluorescence could be used to estimate agents' viabi...
متن کاملGermination of single bacterial spores.
Changes in refractility and optical density occurring in individual spores of Bacillus cereus T and B. megaterium QM B1551 during germination were investigated by use of a Zeiss microscope photometer. The curves revealed that the germination process in single spores had two distinct phases; an initial rapid phase was followed by a second slower phase. Under the experimental condition employed, ...
متن کاملMethods of destroying bacterial spores
The spores of Bacillus spp. are found widely distributed in nature, which may cause contamination of the environment and eventually diseases to humans and animals. The formation of the bacterial spore is a sophisticated mechanism by which some bacteria remain viable inadequate when subjected to survival stress such as lack of nutrients. The spores are highly resistant to heat, radiation, variou...
متن کاملBacterial spores as vaccine vehicles.
For the first time, bacterial spores have been evaluated as vaccine vehicles. Bacillus subtilis spores displaying the tetanus toxin fragment C (TTFC) antigen were used for oral and intranasal immunization and were shown to generate mucosal and systemic responses in a murine model. TTFC-specific immunoglobulin G titers in serum (determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) reached significan...
