Detection of Immunoglobulin Al Protease - Induced Fab , Fragments on Dental Plaque Bacteria
The mechanisms by which immunoglobulin Al (IgAl) protease activity may enable bacteria to evade the effect of specific secretory IgA (S-IgA) antibodies are not clear. A possibility which has received indirect experimental support is that bacteria, as a consequence of the protease activity, become coated with incompetent Fab. fragments instead of with intact antibody molecules. Using a combinati...
متن کاملThe profile of pathogenic bacteria isolated from dental plaque-induced gingivitis
Gingivitis is an inflammatory destructive disease mainly caused by microbial plaques. Gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli or cocci have been isolated from dental plaque and gingivitis. This study was going to isolate and characterize the pathogenic bacteria from gingival of 100 patients with oral gingivitis. Enriched and specific media used for isolation of bacteria. Identification of isola...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin A1 protease activity in Gemella haemolysans.
The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence and nature of immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) protease activity in members of the genus Gemella and related taxa. Among a total of 22 Gemella strains belonging to the four species Gemella haemolysans, Gemella morbillorum, Gemella sanguinis, and Gemella bergeriae and four reference strains of the species Helcococcus kunzii, Facklamia hominis, an...
متن کاملComparison between the effect of Jaman and Biotene solutions on some of the dental plaque bacteria
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Bacterial plaque is a biofilm which is related to its host and its exact role is proved in caries and periodontal disease. These days people brush their teeth and use mouthwash. In this research the effect of Jaman solution (Hezar Co., Iran) was compared with Biotene mouth rinse in an in-vitro study.METHODS: Biotene mouth rinse (Laclede Co., US) contains 4 antibacterial enzy...
متن کاملLack of immunoglobulin A1 protease production by Branhamella catarrhalis.
Clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis from the sputum of 20 patients with acute bronchopulmonary infection were examined for synthesis of immunoglobulin A1 protease by immunoelectrophoresis. Ten strains produced beta-lactamase, and 10 were beta-lactamase negative. None of the strains demonstrated immunoglobulin A1 protease activity despite the fact that three different culture media were...
