conclusions this study indicates that satureja khuzestaniea essence has inhibitory effects on the gene expression of antibiotic resistance in bla-oxa-23 that has a high mic. given that this essence has a good inhibitory effect on gene expression in mdr acinetobacter baumannii and bla-oxa-23, the results indicate that it could be used as a natural way to prevent the growth of acinetobacter bauma...

Interferon is one determinant of host resistance. The immune responses, cellular or humoral, are other components. Cell-mediated responses appear to be involved in host resistance to certain viral infections, particularly the herpesvirus group and vaccinia virus. It is suggested that immune and interferon responses may complement one another and contribute to host resistance. The relative impor...

This study focuses on utilizing cone penetrometer models to determine strength (resistance) of sandy soil and also assessment how the relative density angle friction effects measured penetration resistance in soil. Simple empirical equations are used components such as sleeve tip resistance. comparison is performed between calculated well agreement noticed them.

Powder metallurgy (PM) components are widely used in the auto industry due to the advantage of net-shape forming, low cost, and high efficiency. Still, usage of PM components is limited in the auto industry when encountering rigorous situations, like heavy load, due to lower strength, hardness, wear resistance, and other properties compared to wrought components due to the existence of massive ...

Nosocomial infections are a health concern in hospitals both in developed and developing countries. Immuno-compromised patients in intensive care units (ICU) have been identified as being particularly vulnerable. However, despite numerous interventions, infection rates remain high and antibiotic resistance is now of global concern. In Sri Lanka, higher than anticipated infection rates appear li...

introduction: cell culture is a process in which the cells ware isolated from original tissue, dispersed in liquid media and then placed in culture plate where the cells adhere together and propagate. today, this method is used for assessment of cell toxicity, its mechanisms and effect of different compounds on intracellular components. methods: clonogenic assay was used for assessment of cell ...

A boron-modified molybdenum silicide material having the composition comprising about 80 to about 90 weight % Mo, about 10 to about 20 weight % Si, and about 0.1 to about 2 weight % B and a multiphase microstructure including Mo.sub.5 Si.sub.3 phase as at least one microstructural component effective to impart good high temperature creep resistance. The boron-modified molybdenum silicide materi...

The mexCD-oprJ and mexAB-oprM operons encode components of two distinct multidrug efflux pumps in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To assess the contribution of individual components to antibiotic resistance and substrate specificity, these operons and their component genes were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Western immunoblotting confirmed expression of the P. aeruginosa efflux pump compone...
