Developmental differences in hair cell susceptibility to aminoglycoside-induced cell death has been observed in multiple species. Increased sensitivity to aminoglycosides has been temporally correlated with the onset of mechanotransduction-dependent activity. We have used in vivo fluorescent vital dye markers to further investigate the determinants of aminoglycoside induced hair cell death in t...

Recent studies have shown differences in the epidemiology of invasive infections caused by Candida species worldwide. In the period comprising August 2002 to August 2003, we performed a study in Santa Casa Complexo Hospitalar, Brazil, to determine Candida species distribution associated with candidemia and their antifungal susceptibility profiles to amphotericin B, fluconazole and itraconazole....

Mice lacking the gp91 protein of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase showed heightened susceptibility to Listeria infection. The enhanced susceptibility was noted 2 days after infection, the usual peak time of the neutrophil-dependent lesion in the liver. Infected gp91phox -/- mice had an increase of approximately 30-fold in Listeria in the liver and an increase in the n...

to determine the degree of susceptibility of an. sacharovi to malathion 5%, fenitrothion 1% and ddt 4% extended studies were carried out on sucked blood engorged mosquitoes collected from dasht argen (fars province) in 1997. testing method was according to standard who method in lots of 25 adults' mosquitoes in 4 replicates. an. sacharovi were touched by malathion 5% and ddt 4% insecticides in ...
