Lecithinase production by gramnegative bacteria.
Lecithinase production by microorganisms has been investigated in an attempt to use it in the classification of bacteria, and to associate formation with toxicity and virulence. The first record of this reaction was made when Nagler (1939) and Seifert (1939) observed, independently, the formation of an opalescence in human serum by the a toxin of Clostridium perfringens. It was soon found that ...
متن کاملAntibacterial efficacy of disinfectants against some gramnegative bacteria.
The antibacterial effect of 11 new commercially manufactured disinfectants on clinical isolates of Salmonella typhimurium DT104, Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. The substances tested represented six pure quaternary ammonium substances (QAS) and five QAS combined with other ingredients. The antibacterial efficacy was characterized by influencing the growth of bacteria...
متن کاملMechanisms of zidovudine resistance in bacteria.
Unlike their parent strains, zidovudine-resistant derivatives of Escherichia coli KL16 and Salmonella typhimurium NCTC 5710 were found to be incapable of incorporating radiolabelled thymidine into their chromosomal DNA. Since incorporation was still prevented in the presence of EDTA, resistance to zidovudine was not associated with a permeability barrier, but appeared to result from the loss of...
متن کاملResistance mechanisms of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds
Resistance has been defined as the temporary or permanent ability of an organism and its progeny to remain viable and/or multiply under conditions that would destroy or inhibit other members of the strain. Bacteria may be defined as resistant when they are not susceptible to a concentration of antibacterial agent used in practice. Traditionally, resistance refers to instances where the basis of...
متن کاملCopper resistance mechanisms in bacteria and fungi.
Copper is both an essential micronutrient and a toxic heavy metal for most living cells. The presence of high concentrations of cupric ions in the environment promotes the selection of microorganisms possessing genetic determinants for copper resistance. Several examples of chromosomal and plasmid copper-resistance systems in bacteria have been reported, and the mechanisms of resistance have st...
