MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE INFECTIONS IN PAEDIATRIC AGE: CLINICAL VARIABILITY
2013
Mycoplasma fermentans-derived lipid inhibits class II major histocompatibility complex expression without mediation by interleukin-6, interleukin-10,…
1996
Mycoplasma cause several diseases in man and animals. Some strains can chronically infect humans, leading to fever or inflammatory syndromes such as arthritis, particularly in immunosuppressed patients. A set of pathogenicity factors shared by many mollicutes may be membrane components that activate macrophages to secrete cytokines and other inflammatory mediators. Mycoplasma-derived high molecular weight material (MDHM) is a macrophage-activating amphiphilic lipid which was purified from Mycoplasma fermentans. We studied the influence of MDHM on the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules by mouse resident peritoneal macrophages with an ELISA. Highly purifie…

Nonstationary flow surface theory for modeling the viscoplastic behaviors of soils
2016
Abstract This paper presents a three-dimensional elastic viscoplastic model that can describe the time-dependent behaviors of soft clays. The constitutive model is formulated based on the nonstationary flow surface theory and incorporates new developments, including (i) an improved definition of the nonstationary flow surface that is capable of capturing the stress–strain behaviors under different loading paths, (ii) a unique stress–strain—viscoplastic-strain-rate equation that is able to explicitly describe the nonstationary flow surface, and (iii) a final stable state concept that identifies the final equilibrium state at the end of creep and stress relaxation, which is also used to simpl…
Two master switch regulators trigger A40926 biosynthesis in Nonomuraea sp. strain ATCC 39727
2015
ABSTRACT The actinomycete Nonomuraea sp. strain ATCC 39727 produces the glycopeptide A40926, the precursor of dalbavancin. Biosynthesis of A40926 is encoded by the dbv gene cluster, which contains 37 protein-coding sequences that participate in antibiotic biosynthesis, regulation, immunity, and export. In addition to the positive regulatory protein Dbv4, the A40926-biosynthetic gene cluster encodes two additional putative regulators, Dbv3 and Dbv6. Independent mutations in these genes, combined with bioassays and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses, demonstrated that Dbv3 and Dbv4 are both required for antibiotic production, while inactivation of dbv6 had no effect. In …
Ecología del picoplancton en una laguna cárstica estratificada
2015
La importancia de las picocianobacterias en ecosistemas acuáticos es, hoy en día, un hecho contrastado y muy bien documentado, tanto por lo que se refiere a su abundancia absoluta como a la biomasa relativa respecto al resto de organismos presentes en estos ecosistemas. Las picocianobacterias son, además, los principales productores primarios en la mayoría de ecosistemas acuáticos, siendo la base de la red trófica en algunos de estos ecosistemas, con un impacto muy importante en sus ciclos biogeoquímicos. En el presente trabajo se ha estudiado la abundancia y dinámica, tanto en el perfil vertical como en su evolución a lo largo del ciclo limnológico, de las poblaciones de picoplancton, y en…
Chanson, copla et star cinématographique : vers une iconographie nationale de la femme espagnole
2001
En somme, ainsi que nous 1' avons esquissé dans ces pages, l'identité en question, que ce soit celle de la femme, de la nation o u du genre, m eme si elle est proposée dans un cadre transnational, comme e' est le cas des films de l'Hispano-Film-Produktion, est avant tout un probleme d'iconographie dans lequelles réseaux des traditions spectaculaires, plastiques et littéraires se croisent et désignent tous un corps privilégié, celui de la star, c'est-a-dire, celui de la femme.
A comparison of the efficacy of commercial and experimental vaccines for contagious agalactia in sheep
2013
Abstract An effective vaccine that improves the control of contagious agalactia in Mediterranean regions would be beneficial for poorer farmers who use traditional husbandry methods for sheep and goat production. However while there is little published data on the efficacy of commercially available vaccines for contagious agalactia, evidence from the field suggests that some provide inadequate protection. This paper compares four different vaccine formulations, including a widely used commercial vaccine, using clinical signs and mycoplasma excretion as measures of protection in sheep. Results showed that protection afforded by the vaccines, following contact challenge with experimentally in…
Validation of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Field Tool for Rapid and Sensitive Diagnosis of Contagious Agalactia in Small Ruminants
2020
Simple Summary Contagious agalactia (CA) is an infectious disease of small ruminants endemic in the Mediterranean countries, causing significant socioeconomic impacts predominantly on small-scale farmers who still subsist on marginal lands. Mycoplasma agalactiae is historically considered the principal etiological agent of CA, especially in sheep. Clinical signs are characterised by mastitis, arthritis, keratoconjunctivitis and occasionally, abortion. Rapid, accurate and cost-effective field tests are urgently needed for effective control of M. agalactiae mastitis. Our study illustrated the validation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) test for the detection of M. agalactiae…
