Prevalence of staphylococcal enterotoxins in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolates from dogs with pyoderma and healthy dogs
10-05-2013 | Taishi Tanabe, Midori Toyoguchi, Fumitaka Hirano, Mei Chiba, Kenta Onuma, Hisaaki Sato, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract To investigate the role of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) produced from Staphylococcus pseudintermedius for pyoderma, isolates from dogs with pyoderma and healthy dogs were analyzed. Fourteen isolates (7.6%) from dogs with pyoderma and 9 isolates (4.8%) from healthy dogs ...
Effects of ceftriaxone‐induced intestinal dysbacteriosis on dendritic cells of small intestine in mice
07-05-2013 | Ming Li, Weihua Li, Shu Wen, Yinhui Liu, Li Tang, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract Intestinal microflora plays a pivotal role in the development of the innate immune system and is essential in shaping adaptive immunity. Dysbacteriosis of intestinal microflora induces altered immune responses and results in disease susceptibility. Dendritic cells (DCs), the ...
Genetic Analysis of ORF5 Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) Isolated in Vietnam
07-05-2013 | Thuy Thi‐Dieu Nguyen, Thu Thi Nguyen, Ha Thi‐Thu Le, Son Giang Nguyen, Hung Khanh Vo, Nguyen Thao Nguyen, Khoa Vo‐Anh Do, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically important swine pathogen due to its highly infective nature and causing economic losses in pig productivity. In this study, the 603‐bp complete major envelop protein encoding gene (ORF5) ...
Identification of cellular factors required for the budding of koala retrovirus
07-05-2013 | Sayumi Shimode, Rie Nakaoka, Shigeki Hoshino, Masumi Abe, Hiroko Shogen, Jiro Yasuda, Takayuki Miyazawa, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a unique gammaretrovirus which is currently endogenizing into its host and considered to be associated with leukemia, lymphoma and immunosuppression in koalas (Phascolactos cinereus). In this study, we demonstrated that WWP2 or WWP2‐like E3 ubiquitin ...
Brucella melitensis 16MΔhfq Attenuation to Confer Protection Against Wild‐Type Challenge in BALB/c Mice
03-05-2013 | Junbo Zhang, Fei Guo, Chuangfu Chen, Zhiqiang Li, Hui Zhang, Yuanzhi Wang, Ke Zhang, Guoqing Du, Yuefeng li, Jiangde ..., Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract Brucellosis is a globally distributed zoonotic disease that causes animal and human diseases. The current Brucella vaccines (Rev.1 and M5‐90) are efficient, but continue to have several drawbacks. The first one involves residual virulence for animals and humans, and the second ...
Three‐dimensional Visualization of Mixed Species Biofilm Formation Together With Its Substratum
03-05-2013 | Tomohiro Inaba, Takahiro Ichihara, Yutaka Yawata, Masanori Toyofuku, Hiroo Uchiyama, Nobuhiko Nomura, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract Biofilms, such as dental plaque, are aggregates of microorganisms attached to a surface. Thus, visualization of the biofilm together with its attached substratum is an important issue in order to understand the detailed interaction between the biofilm and the substratum. ...
Development of Streptococcus gordonii–specific quantitative real‐time PCR primers based on the nucleotide sequence of rpoB
03-05-2013 | Soon‐Nang Park, Joong‐Ki Kook, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract In this study, we introduced Streptococcus gordonii‐specific quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) primers, RTSgo‐F2/RTSgo‐R2, based on the nucleotide sequences of RNA polymerase β‐subunit gene (rpoB). The specificity of the RTSgo‐F2/RTSgo‐R2 primers was ...
Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia closely related to Rickettsia monacensis isolated from ticks in South Jeolla Province, Republic of Korea
26-04-2013 | Kyung‐Min Lee, Yeon‐Joo Choi, Sun‐Hye Shin, Min‐Kyung Choi, Hyeon‐Je Song, Heung‐Chul Kim, Terry A. Klein, Allen L. ..., Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract Rickettsia monacensis, a spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsia, was isolated from Ixodes nipponensis ticks collected from live‐captured small mammals in South Jeolla Province, Republic of Korea (ROK), in 2006. The homogenates of tick tissues were inoculated into L929 and Vero ...
Sterilization mechanism of nitrogen gas plasma: Induction of secondary structure change in protein
25-04-2013 | Akikazu Sakudo, Masato Higa, Kojiro Maeda, Naohiro Shimizu, Yuichiro Imanishi, Hideharu Shintani, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract N2 gas plasma is a novel sterilization method, while the mechanism of action on biomolecules remains unclear. Here, we investigate the effect of N2 gas plasma on protein structure. Bovine serum albumin (BSA), which was used as the model protein, was exposed to N2 gas plasma ...
Importance of rabies virus nucleoprotein in viral evasion of interferon response in the brain
22-04-2013 | Tatsunori Masatani, Naoto Ito, Yuki Ito, Keisuke Nakagawa, Masako Abe, Satoko Yamaoka, Kota Okadera, Makoto Sugiyama, Microbiology and Immunology, 2013
Abstract We recently showed by using a cultured neuroblastoma cell line that the N protein of virulent rabies virus fixed strain Nishigahara (Ni), but not that of the attenuated derivative Ni‐CE, functions to evade induction of type I interferon (IFN). To check whether Ni N protein ...
