A robust Mycobacterium smegmatis Assay for the Discovery of Anti-tubercular Metabolites from Soil Bacteria

Creator:: Chen, Kathryn P
Abstract:: Tuberculosis (TB) is a pressing global health issue with approximately one third of the world’s population infected by this bacterium. As one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, it has killed approximately 1.7 million people of all ages around the world per year (World Health Organization, 2016). Currently, several drugs...

Bioactivity Screening and Gene Activation Strategies in Fungi

Creator:: Coddington, Nathan C.
Abstract:: Natural products from plants, bacteria, and fungi play an important role in society. Over the last 35 years, natural products and their derivatives have inspired over 60% of all FDA approved small-molecule drugs, and are among the top prescribed therapeutics.1-2 Fleming’s discovery of the fungal antibiotic penicillin started the “Golden...

A Dive into the Pacific Fish Microbiome: Exploration of Antibiotics from a Unique Ecosystem

Creator:: Austin, Molly C.
Abstract:: With the rise of resistant bacterial pathogens, currently prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless. In recent years, marine natural products (MNPs) have emerged as novel sources for drug leads. The ocean is a complex environment where marine animals cohabitate with many, and sometimes harmful microorganisms and viruses, but resist infections. Developed...

Isolation, Characterization, and Antibiotic Activity of Fungal Metabolites from an Algal Endophyte

Creator:: Stoumbos, Demetri
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative nosocomial pathogenic bacterium known for its resilience against antibiotics. The bacterium infects over 50,000 patients each year in the United States, with 13% of reported cases involving multi-drug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas. This research discovered several fungal natural products with promising activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The...

Illegal to Exist : The Criminalization of Houselessness in the United States

Creator:: Waite, Mariah E.
Abstract:: In the United States, the state of housing and the lack thereof has been declared a national crisis. In response, cities have taken measures to police behaviors that are associated with what they perceive to be disorder and decay. These behaviors are also commonly associated with houselessness.

Stigma and the HIV Diagnosis

Creator:: Hyde, Christina L.
Abstract:: One of the roots of the global problem of HIV/AIDS is the shame associated with an HIV diagnosis. Because it can be transmitted sexually, HIV is stigmatized. Even though there are many routes of transmission that would not cause embarrassment, many times the public view is uncompassionate towards its victims,...

“Only a little longer, right?” : oral histories of the Oregon State University Wind Ensemble during the COVID-19 pandemic

Creator:: Gibbs, Madeline
Abstract:: Music performance and education faced unique barriers during the COVID-19 global pandemic which made it nearly impossible to effectively implement online learning. To better understand these barriers and what improvements might be made during future pandemics that entail periods of isolation, I collected the oral histories of eight Oregon State...

Metabolomics analysis identifies effects of nitrate and exercise in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Wolfe, Mandy
Abstract:: Objectives: Nitrate, found abundantly in green leafy vegetables, may improve exercise performance by increasing the availability and utilization of metabolic fuels that require less oxygen for energy production. However, it is not known if this performance effect occurs at the peak exercise intensity. We hypothesize that supplemental nitrate treatment will...

Investigation of the Relationship Between Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture and Mechanical Stress

Creator:: Agalzoff, Nicholas
Abstract:: The factors that cause abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture were investigated. Included in this study were aneurysm volume, thrombus thickness, lumen area, thrombus area, the average stress acting on the aorta, and the maximum stress on the aorta. The geometric values were obtained by tracing a series of computerized axial tomography...
