چکیده
Two extracellular antibiotics produced by Mycoplasma sp. RP III growing in serum-containing media have been purified by solvent extraction and ion-exchange chromatography. Factor I inhibits Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and a crude preparation protected mice from Pseudomonas and Straphylococcus infections; it is of low cytotoxicity. Factor II, a lipid, inhibits Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, Candida species, and is as cytotoxic as the actinomycins.

متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Bacillus sp. producing broad-spectrum antibiotics against human and plant pathogenic fungi.
A strain of bacterium producing antifungal antibiotic was isolated and identification of the strain was attempted. We could identify the bacterium as being a Bacillus sp., based on morphological observation, physiological characteristics, and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, thus leading us to designate the strain as Bacillus sp. AH-E-1. The strain showed potent antibiotic activity against phytopath...
متن کاملEvaluation of the prevalence of broad-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemase genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from burn wounds in patients referred to Shahid Motahari Hospital in Tehran
Background: Klebsiella species are common causes of nosocomial, ulcers, blood and urinary tract infections, and also acquired pneumonia from the hospital and various intra-abdominal infections. Bacterial resistance mechanisms against antibiotics are different, but one of these resistance mechanisms, which is very problematic, is the production of β-lactamase enzymes in bacteria. The aim of this...
متن کاملA new Micromonospora-produced macrolide antibiotic, rosamicin.
A new antibiotic, rosamicin, classified as a macrolide, has been isolated from the fermentation broth of a new species of Micromonospora, M. rosaria. The antibiotic is separated from the broth by a solvent extraction procedure and purified by column chromatography. Chromatographic studies indicate that rosamicin is different from all related macrolides and is a novel antibiotic. It has broad-sp...

Nine azaphilones designated RP-1551-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -M1, and -M2 were isolated from the culture broth of Penicillium sp. SPC-21609 as inhibitors of PDGF binding to its receptor. RP-1551s inhibit the binding of PDGF AA to the extracellular domain of PDGF alpha-receptor with IC50 values ranging from 0.1 to 2 microM without affecting PDGF BB binding to the extracellular domain of PDGF b...
