Macrophage infection with wild-type Mycobacterium avium or isogenic attenuated PPE mutant revealed differences in gene expression and mycobacterial vacuole proteins

Creator:: Jha, Samradhni
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium is a ubiquitous environmental organism found in water and soil. It can cause disease in patients with pre-existing pulmonary conditions, immunocompromised patients with the most prevalent being AIDS patients, as well as apparently healthy people. Studies have indicated that, upon macrophage uptake, Al. avium prevents phagosome-lysosome fusion, thus...

Bacteriophages Significantly Reduce Mortality of Larval Pacific Oysters Crassostrea gigas from Infection by the Pathogenic Bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus RE98

Creator:: Madison, David B.
Abstract:: Vibrio coralliilyticus (Vcor) is a bacterial pathogen that is well adapted to shellfish hatcheries and is very pathogenic to the larvae of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Vcor has been associated with several large scale larval mortality events in the Pacific Northwest that interrupt the supply of seed oysters available...

The Inhibitory Activity of Essential Oil Constituents Against Clostridium perfringens Type A Isolates

Creator:: Alanazi, Saud
Abstract:: C. perfringens type A isolates are the causative agents of C. perfringens type A food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) human gastrointestinal diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial effect of essential oil constituents (cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), and carvacrol) against C. perfringens FP and NFB isolates grown...

Inactivation Strategy for Clostridium perfringens Spores Adhered onto Stainless Steel Surfaces

Creator:: Alzubeidi, Yasmeen S.
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming pathogenic bacterium that causes a variety of diseases in human and animals. C. perfringens type A isolates produce enterotoxin (CPE) causing food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) diseases including antibiotic-associated diarrhea and sporadic diarrhea. C. perfringens type A food poisoning currently ranks as...

Further Optimization of Controlled Depuration for Eliminating Vibrio parahaemolyticus from Raw Oysters for Safe Consumption

Creator:: Ming, Ziwen
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections in the United Stated have been linked to consumption of raw shellfish, particularly oysters, with symptoms of headache, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting. Depuration, as a post-harvest process, has a long history of being applied in shellfish industry to reduce sewage bacteria. In order to reduce the...

Retention of protein repulsive character and antimicrobial activity of PEO brush layers following nisin entrapment

Creator:: Auxier, Julie A.
Abstract:: Nisin, an amphiphilic, antimicrobial peptide, has been shown to integrate into the hydrophobic inner region of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brush layers; however, the presence of integrated nisin may compromise the protein repulsive character of the PEO layer. In particular, the introduction of fibrinogen to nisin-loaded brush layers has been observed...

Hydrolytic methods for the quantification of fructose-equivalents in herbaceous biomass

Creator:: Nguyen, Stefanie K.
Abstract:: A low, but significant, fraction of the carbohydrate portion of herbaceous biomass may be composed of fructose/fructosyl-containing components (“fructose equivalents”); such carbohydrates include sucrose, fructo-oligosaccharides, and fructans. Standard methods used for the quantification of structural-carbohydrate-derived neutral monosaccharide-equivalents in biomass are not particularly well suited for the quantification of fructose equivalents...

Identification of novel immune molecular pathways and response markers to OmniGen-AF® supplementation in a rat model

Creator:: Branson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: OmniGen-AF® (OG; Prince Agri Products, Inc., Quincy, IL) is a feed additive containing brewers dehydrated yeast and B-vitamins that supports immune function in ruminant livestock. Targeted profiling of immune-associated genes in whole blood is an effective platform for identification of a) novel molecular pathways and b) immune response markers to...

Developing a system of mutagenesis in Francisella tularensis LVS

Creator:: Flax, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative facultative intracellular coccobacillus that primarily infects macrophages. The causative agent of tularemia, this bacterium is considered among the most infectious organisms known, requiring fewer than ten organisms to cause disease. Although ubiquitous in nature, transmission to humans is rare but can occur via insect bites,...

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...
