The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:: Alzhanov, Damir T.
Abstract:: The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

Recombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and delivery

Creator:: Simon, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused...

Antimicrobial properties of a wine based disinfectant

Creator:: Waite, Joy G.
Abstract:: Wine has recently been shown to be a possible protective agent against microbial foodbome illness. The chemical environment of wine makes it difficult, if not impossible, for microorganisms to survive. The low pH, high concentration of organic acids, relatively high ethanol concentrations, and the potential for high levels of sulfur...

Characterization of germinant receptors in Clostridium perfringens non-food-borne isolates

Creator:: Banawas, Saeed S.
Abstract:: C. perfringens is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, 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 . These two major diseases are...

The MAV_4644 dual-function channel protein with putative ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of Mycobacterium avium is required for virulence within host macrophages

Creator:: Lewis, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic pathogen that is ubiquitous in the environment and often isolated from faucets and showerheads. MAH mostly infects humans with an underlying disease, such as chronic pulmonary disorder (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), or are immunocompromised, though infections in patients without concurrent disease are...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: significant when p < 0.05. Graph Pad Prism version 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis

Syntheses and evaluation of putative enzyme inhibitor of isoprenoid biosynthesis

Creator:: Phaosiri, Chanokporn
Abstract:: The discovery of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway (the MEP pathway) as an alternate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis in some organisms including most bacteria, malarial parasites and plants, but not in animals, has stimulated extensive studies in this area. Research has revealed the potential of finding novel antibacterials, antimalarial drugs, and...

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...

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...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: difficulties in my research. I also want to thank Dr. Daniel Rockey, Dr. Claudia Hase and Dr. Joy Waite-Cusic

Characterization of novel marine oligotrophic bacteria isolated from the Pacific Ocean : description of Marinivirgula fluito gen. nov., sp. nov., Marinivirgula obesa gen. nov., sp. nov. and Litincola parvulus gen. nov., sp. nov.

Creator:: Shin, Eun Jung
Abstract:: A new high-throughput culturing (HTC) method using a low nutrient heterotrophic medium (LNHM) has led to the isolation of many novel strains of oligotrophic bacteria from marine ecosystems. Four strains belonging to a single dade, HTCC2151, HTCC218OT, HTCC2178T and HTCC2188T, were isolated from the coast of Oregon by the HTC...

Establishment of an in vitro System for Studying Mycobacterium avium Protein Secretion

Creator:: Chinison, Jessica J.
Abstract:: Cases of pulmonary diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) have increased over the years and have become a major health concern in Europe, Asia, and the United States. MAC, comprised of M. avium species and M. intracellulare, are found everywhere in the environment: in water sources and the soil....
