Ureaplasma Urease Genes have Undergone a Unique Evolutionary Process
Ureaplasma, a member of mycoplasmas, has a unique ATP synthesis system, which is coupled to the urea hydrolysis. Urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. Phylogenetic analyses of the urease genes indicated that Ureaplasma urease genes were not gained by recent horizontal transfer and have a unique evolutionary process. Ureaplasma unique ATP synthesis system leade...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Ureaplasma urealyticum urease.
Sonication of Ureaplasma urealyticum cells grown in a dialysate growth medium effectively separated the cytoplasmic fraction from the membrane fraction, with both fractions relatively free from exogenous contaminating proteins. The urease activity was associated with the cytoplasmic fraction, and the ureaplasmal urease exhibited a specific activity higher than that of crystalline jack bean urea...
متن کاملOrganization of Ureaplasma urealyticum urease gene cluster and expression in a suppressor strain of Escherichia coli.
Ureaplasma urealyticum is a pathogenic ureolytic mollicute which colonizes the urogenital tracts of humans. A genetic polymorphism between the two biotypes of U. urealyticum at the level of the urease genes was found. The urease gene cluster from a biotype 1 representative of U. urealyticum (serotype I) was cloned and sequenced. Seven genes were found, with ureA, ureB, and ureC encoding the str...
متن کاملExperiences of young people who have undergone the Lightning Process to treat chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis--a qualitative study.
OBJECTIVES Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a serious condition characterized by debilitating but unexplained fatigue. Treatment alternatives are few, and especially so for young people. The aetiology of CFS/ME is still unclear and controversial, but rehabilitative interventions seem so far most promising. The Lightning Process is a 3-day training programme that ha...
متن کاملChest compressions in "patients who have undergone cardiac surgery".
Chest compression (CC) constitutes the most popular and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique employed by civilians and medical staff. This report documents the risk of harm during CC. A 72-year-old woman called for an ambulance due to dyspnea. She experienced cardiopulmonary arrest upon arrival of the ambulance and was administered CC. After two cycles of CC, the paramedic experien...
