Information on the role of some bacterial species, such as Lactococcus garvieae and Enterococcus gallinarum, in animal as well as human infections remains scarce. Difficulties in the precise laboratory identification and possible misidentification as other better known related microorganism can, at least in part, account for the limitation of the data available6.

Previous studies have indicated that the high-molecular-weight form of elongation factor 1 (EF-1H) contained four subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). Using the conventional methods of gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, various forms of elongation factor 1 (EF-1 alpha, EF-1 beta delta, EF-1 beta gamma delta) have been purified from rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The procedure described allows one to purify these factors from a single batch of lysate in sufficient amounts for physical ...

The newly described Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6C accounted for 2.3% (16/709) of meningitis cases and 3.2% (3/95) of nasopharyngeal isolates from healthy individuals in Brazil. The strains were multidrug resistant (18.8%) and genetically diverse. Despite low serotype 6C prevalence, continuous surveillance is necessary to guide vaccine strategies.

Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is by far the most malignant glioma. We have introduced a new treatment for GBMs that comprises the inhalation of a naturally occurring terpene with chemotherapeutic properties known as perillyl alcohol (POH). Clinical trial results on recurrent GBM patients showed that POH extends the average life by more than eight months, temporarily slows tumor growth, and in some cases even decreases tumor size. After approximately seven months, the tumor continues to grow and leads ...

Abstract Background Spectral counting is a shotgun proteomics approach comprising the identification and relative quantitation of thousands of proteins in complex mixtures. However, this strategy generates bewildering amounts of data whose biological interpretation is a challenge. Results Here we present a new algorithm, termed GO Explorer (GOEx), that leverages the gene ontology (GO) to aid in the interpretation of proteomic data. GOEx stands out because it combines data from protein fold changes ...

The pneumococcal serogroup 15 comprises four capsular polysaccharide serotypes (15A, 15B, 15C, 15F) that collectively account for an impactful disease burden (1, 2). These four serotypes are defined by Quellung reaction typing, employing specific serologic factor sera to visualize the capsule (3) (Table 1). Each of these four serotypes shares an identical pentasaccharide repeat unit that forms an identical linear structure in types 15A and 15F, and a distinct branched structure in types 15B and 15C ( ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae's polysaccharide capsule is an important virulence factor; vaccine-induced immunity to specific capsular polysaccharide effectively prevents disease. Serotype 1 S. pneumoniae is rarely found in healthy persons, but is highly invasive and a common cause of meningitis outbreaks and invasive disease outside of the United States. Here we show that genes for polysaccharide capsule similar to those expressed by pneumococci were commonly detected by polymerase chain reaction among ...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) inactivates the retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) gene by promoter methylation and reduces cellular E-cadherin expression by overexpression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an oncogenic virus that may be related to cervical carcinogenesis. In gastric cancer, it has been demonstrated that E-cadherin gene (CDH1) hypermethylation is associated with DNMT1 overexpression by EBV infection. Our aim was to analyze the gene promoter methylation frequency of RB1 ...

Members of the Herpesviridae family have been implicated in a number of tumours in humans. At least 75% of the human population has had contact with cytomegalovirus (HCMV). In this work, we screened 75 Brazilian glioma biopsies for the presence of HCMV DNA sequences. HCMV DNA was detected in 36% (27/75) of the biopsies. It is possible that HCMV could be a co-factor in the evolution of brain tumours.
