Purification and characterization of the Staphylococcus aureus bacillithiol transferase BstA.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1840(9) , 2851-61, (2014)

Gram-positive bacteria in the phylum Firmicutes synthesize the low molecular weight thiol bacillithiol rather than glutathione or mycothiol. The bacillithiol transferase YfiT from Bacillus subtilis was identified as a new member of the recently discovered Din...

Investigation into the possible natural occurence of semicarbazide in Macrobrachium rosenbergii prawns.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 59(5) , 2107-12, (2011)

In the past year there has been an increased incidence in Belgium of cases of positive semicarbazide (SEM) tests in imported freshwater Macrobrachium rosenbergii prawns, seemingly indicating the possible abuse of nitrofurazone, a banned antimicrobial agent. T...

An investigation into the potential use of nanoparticles as adjuvants for the production of polyclonal antibodies to low molecular weight compounds.

Vet. Immunol. Immunopathol. 149(1-2) , 46-53, (2012)

Two nanoparticle based adjuvants were assessed for their ability to produce polyclonal antibodies in rabbits to low molecular weight target analytes, i.e. veterinary drugs banned from use in food producing animals. The nanoparticles, Montanide IMS 251 and amp...

An active site aromatic triad in Escherichia coli DNA Pol IV coordinates cell survival and mutagenesis in different DNA damaging agents.

PLoS ONE 6(5) , e19944, (2011)

DinB (DNA Pol IV) is a translesion (TLS) DNA polymerase, which inserts a nucleotide opposite an otherwise replication-stalling N(2)-dG lesion in vitro, and confers resistance to nitrofurazone (NFZ), a compound that forms these lesions in vivo. DinB is also kn...

Investigating the potential of non-thermal microwave as a novel skin penetration enhancement method.

Int. J. Pharm. 401(1-2) , 47-50, (2010)

Microwaves (MW), a part of the electromagnetic spectrum at 0.3-300GHz, affect human body in different ways through its thermal and athermal effects, including fluidization of cell membranes and liquid crystalline systems. Due to presence of such structures in...

In vitro comparison of nitrofurazone- and silver alloy-coated foley catheters for contact-dependent and diffusible inhibition of urinary tract infection-associated microorganisms.

Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 56(9) , 4969-72, (2012)

Two marketed antimicrobial-coated Foley catheters were compared for in vitro diffusible and contact-dependent inhibition of 11 urinary tract infection-associated microorganisms in an adherence-biofilm assay. Nitrofurazone-coated catheters significantly outper...
