Showing papers in "Anaerobe in 2006"

TL;DR: Results of one study revealed that more than one-third of piglets with enteritis were affected by C. difficile alone, while an additional quarter of affected piglets may have had mixed infections.

TL;DR: This is the first study directly exploring bacterial diversity in corrosive biofilms associated to steel pipelines subjected to normal operation conditions, and it is shown that Desulfovibrio spp.

TL;DR: Bacteria involved in the demethylation step of SDG conversion also demethylated a variety of compounds other than SDG, including Peptostreptococcus productus, which catalysed the reduction of pinoresinol and laricires inol to secoisolariciresinol.

TL;DR: Results indicated that NAOS had great prebiotic effect, which could be beneficial to the host, and interestingly, NAOS with higher degrees of polymerization (DP) showed better prebiotics activity.

TL;DR: Although IFND has been well documented for over a century, it is quite a rare condition and modern-day clinicians of various medical disciplines are frequently unaware of this organism and the severity of symptoms that it can cause.

TL;DR: Members of this unique group that were previously considered atypical for the rumen environment were the predominant clones and clustered within a distinct and strongly supported (100% bootstrap support) phylogenetic group.

TL;DR: Analysis of the phylogenetic signal indicates that acquisition of the major toxin genes as well as other plasmid-borne toxin genes is a recent evolutionary event and their maintenance is essentially a function of the selective advantage they confer in certain niches under different conditions.

TL;DR: This paper reports on the adhesion of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and methanogenic archaea on polyurethane foam (PU), vegetal carbon (VC), low-density polyethylene (PE) and alumina-based ceramics (CE).

TL;DR: This study attempted to isolate lactobacilli strains from healthy vaginal ecosystem to search for a new effective antibacterial probiotic strain and found that strain L 22 can produce an anti-MRSA effect.

TL;DR: The present study provided a liable and effective method for screening bifidobacteria with the ability to adhere to intestinal epithelial cells and concluded that the higher hydrophobic strains the stronger adhesive capability.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of inoculation of the probiotic and enterocin A-producing strain Enterococcus faecium EK13 on selected parameters of metabolic profile, gut microflora, growth, and health in newborn piglets of Slovak White Improved.

TL;DR: There was no influence of phenol and p-cresol on survival of lactic bacteria until 120 h and specific reaction to carcinogens depending on strain was observed after that incubation time and 2 microg/ml of indole had a very little effect.

TL;DR: Anaerobic bacteria emerge as pathogens as the infection becomes chronic, which may be the result of the selective pressure of antimicrobial agents that enable resistant anaerobic organisms to survive, and from the development over time of conditions appropriate for an aerobic growth, which include the reduction in oxygen tension and an increase in acidity within the sinus cavity.

TL;DR: It could be postulated that FOS and TOS promoted saccharolytic activities in the porcine colon and supports the view that in swine, the diversity of GI microflora might be higher compared to other species.

TL;DR: Data indicate that L. fermentum AD1 survive transit through the canine gastrointestinal tract, and populate the colon and probably increased absorption of some nutrients.

TL;DR: Results of the present paper show the potential of selected bifidobacteria to antagonize key mechanisms involved in the virulence of C. difficile.

TL;DR: The results show that NE impedes methane production, especially in incubations of chicken cecal contents, which may promote Gram-positive, saccharolytic, VFA-producing bacteria, especially Clostridium spp.

TL;DR: Bulgarian propolis was active against most anaerobic strains of different genera and in addition to oral pathogens, an activity of propolis against Clostridium, Bacteroides and Propionibacterium species was observed.

TL;DR: The present study provides useful information to the industrialists seeking environmentally benign technology for the production of bulk biomolecules through manipulation of various chemical parameters in Bacteroides fragilis.

TL;DR: The bacterium manages its surface characteristics to enable it to bind to its target, to use the available nutrients, and to avoid or evade hostile forces (host-derived or external) in its multiple roles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the distribution of anaerobes in pregnant women with periodontitis who experienced preterm delivery and provided microbial evidence that maternal periodontal disease and the presence of key pathogens are significant contributors to the obstetric risk of preterm birth.

TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that with the diagnostic capture ELISA used, intestinal content (preferably ileum) should be used for C. perfringens type D epsilon toxin detection in suspected cases of sheep enterotoxemia.

TL;DR: Fecal pellets of feral mice and three SPF mice were studied by small subunit ribosomal DNA sequence analysis and the SPF biota appeared equally complex at lower phylogenetic levels, but the major phylogenetic groups represented were less diverse.

TL;DR: A case of bacteremia caused by Solobacterium moorei, an anaerobic, non-sporulated Gram-positive bacillus in a patient with a multiple myeloma is reported.

TL;DR: Biochemical characteristics, phylogenetic analysis, G+C content, and DNA-DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that the strains AIP 504.99, AIP 505.99T and AIP 431.03, notwithstanding their high sequence similarities, represent a novel T. mathranii subspecies for which the name T. alimentarius is proposed.

TL;DR: The cumulative data indicates that the reversion of arginine in position 212 to histidine for rAT121A/91R212H was necessary to induce production of protective antibodies against wild-type alphatoxin of C. perfringens.

TL;DR: The study describes expression and purification of recombinant hepatitis B small surface antigen in methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris strain GS115, resulting in a Mut(S) (Methanol Utilizing Slow) phenotype in which the 226 amino acids containing active and full-length rHBsAg protein could be expressed intra-cellularly during slow growth and induction with methanol.

TL;DR: This study investigated the distribution of bft alleles among ETBF strains in stool specimens from patients with colon cancer, the control patients and extraintestinal sources, and used restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the PCR-amplified enterotoxin gene to detect the isoforms of bFT gene.
