Characterization of Sporulation and Germination Genes in Clostridium perfringens

Creator:: Talukdar, Prabhat Kumar
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that can produce as many as 17 different toxins and are responsible to cause a wide array of gastrointestinal (GI) and histotoxic diseases in humans and animals. As individual strains produce a subset of these toxins, C. perfringens strains can be classified...

Molecular basis for Clostridium perfringens spore resistance to heat and other environmental stress factors

Creator:: Raju, Deepa
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of both food poisoning (FP) and non food borne gastrointestinal diseases (NFBGID) in both humans and animals. C. perfringens type A food poisoning is caused by isolates carrying the CPE encoding gene (cpe) on the chromosome while the...

Clostridium perfringens spores : inactivation, germination, and formation

Creator:: Udompijitkul, Pathima
Abstract:: The enterotoxin-producing Clostridium perfringens type A isolates are responsible for the third most common foodborne illness in the United States and can also cause non-foodborne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as antibiotic- associated and sporadic diarrheas. Three important factors contribute to the ability of C. perfringens to cause GI diseases,...

Molecular characterization of an HIV-1 drug target and antiviral compound development

Creator:: Maselko, Maciej
Abstract:: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) has been the source of substantial human misery since it was first discovered in the early 1980s. Despite remarkable progress that has been made towards understanding HIV- 1, there is no cure, no vaccine and life-prolonging therapies are beyond the reach of millions in...

Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

Creator:: Chu, Hencelyn
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...

Clostridium perfringens sporulation and gliding motility

Creator:: Huang, I-Hsiu
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates, an anaerobic enterotoxigenic spore forming bacterium, are the third leading cause of food-borne disease in the United States. Factors that contribute to the virulence of C. perfringens include the ability of the bacterium to form heat resistant spores and to produce an enterotoxin (CPE). Although...

Molecular mechanism of germination of Clostridium perfringens spores

Creator:: Paredes-Sabja, Daniel
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of a wide variety of diseases in animals and humans. C. perfringens can produce more than 15 toxins. However, individual strains produce a subset of these toxins. Although a small percentage of C. perfringens isolates (mostly belonging to type A) produce C. perfringens enterotoxin...

New Insights into the Molecular Mechanism of Clostridium perfringens Spore Germination

Creator:: Banawas, Saeed S.
Abstract:: C. perfringens is a spore-forming, gram-positive, anaerobic pathogenic bacterium capable of causing a wide variety of diseases in both humans and animals. However, the two most common illnesses in humans are C. perfringens type A food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses. Interestingly, these two major diseases are...

Collaborative Neighborhood-Scale Sustainability Assessment and Planning using the Spatial Optimization for Urban Resource Conservation and Engagement (SOURCE) Tool : Applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process for Spatial Decision Support

Creator:: Gutierrez, Evan Erasmo
Abstract:: A fundamental problem that emerges during the planning of a city or neighborhood is how to prioritize sustainable development criteria and where to focus efforts. Solving this problem is a complex task requiring an integrated approach, which considers environmental, economic, and social criteria, as well as stakeholder preferences. Given the...
