چکیده پلاتین، فلزی نجیب، پایدار و گران قیمت با خاصیت کاتالیزوری زیاد است که کاربرد های صنعتی فراوانی دارد. کمپلکس های پلاتین(ii) به عنوان دارو های ضد سرطان شناخته شدند و در شیمی درمانی بیماران سرطانی کاربرد دارند. خاصیت کاتالیزوری و عملکرد گزینشی پلاتین مستقیماً به اندازه و- شکل ماده ی پلاتینی بستگی دارد. بعضی از نانو ذرات فلزی در سطح مشترک مایع- مایع سنتز شده اند، اما نانو ساختار های پلاتین ب...
Regulation of cell component production by growth rate in the group B Streptococcus.
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of bacterial sepsis and meningitis among neonates. While the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is an important virulence factor of GBS, other cell surface components, such as C proteins, may also play a role in GBS disease. CPS production by GBS type III strain M781 was greater when cells were held at a fast (1.4-h mass-doubling time [td]) than at a ...
متن کاملCharacterization of virulence factor regulation by SrrAB, a two-component system in Staphylococcus aureus.
Workers in our laboratory have previously identified the staphylococcal respiratory response AB (SrrAB), a Staphylococcus aureus two-component system that acts in the global regulation of virulence factors. This system down-regulates production of agr RNAIII, protein A, and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), particularly under low-oxygen conditions. In this study we investigated the localiz...
متن کاملRocA Is an Accessory Protein to the Virulence-Regulating CovRS Two-Component System in Group A Streptococcus.
Regulating gene expression during infection is critical to the ability of pathogens to circumvent the immune response and cause disease. This is true for the group A Streptococcus (GAS), a pathogen that causes both invasive (e.g., necrotizing fasciitis) and noninvasive (e.g., pharyngitis) diseases. The control of virulence (CovRS) two-component system has a major role in regulating GAS virulenc...
متن کاملRegulation of bacterial virulence by two-component systems.
In bacteria, two-component systems (TCS) are widely used signal transduction devices which are engaged in a multitude of gene regulatory systems that respond to changing growth conditions. Many pathogenic bacteria encounter different microenvironments during their infectious cycle and their ability to efficiently adapt to different niches inside and outside of their host organisms is frequently...
