Lautropia mirabilis, a pleomorphic, motile, gram-negative coccus, has been isolated from the oral cavities of 32 of 60 (53.3%) children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and 3 of 25 (12.0%) HIV-uninfected controls; the association of L. mirabilis isolation with HIV infection is

A rare case of pulmonary pneumatoceles complicating the course of Proteus pneumonia in an adult is described. The pneumatoceles which appeared early in the course of the pneumonia resolved completely without complications. A brief review of the literature regarding formation of cavities in Proteus

Whole-animal transepithelial potential (TEP) of the goby, Gillichthys mirabilis, was measured. TEP was the same whether the electrode was implanted in the dorsal muscle or in the peritoneal cavity. TEP response to different salinities was linear from 0 to 100% seawater, and stable from 100 to 200%

A case of neonatal brain abscess was reported. This female infant was born by spontaneous vertex delivery at 38 weeks gestation, weighing 3.1 kg. There were no antenatal and perinatal complications. The Apgar's score was 8 points and her head was 32.8 cm in circumference. Fifty-six hours after

An assay of phagocytic killing by murine neutrophils in homologous serum was used to determine the nature of the opsonins in normal mouse serum for phagocytic killing of Proteus mirabilis. Leucocytes from the peritoneal cavities of mice given an intraperitoneal inoculation of brain-heart infusion

The structure of Proteus mirabilis catalase in complex with an inhibitor, formic acid, has been solved at 2.3 A resolution. Formic acid is a key ligand of catalase because of its ability to react with the ferric enzyme, giving a high-spin iron complex. Alternatively, it can react with two transient

The role of the channels and cavities present in the catalase from Proteus mirabilis (PMC) was investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The reactant and products of the reaction, H(2)O(2) -->1/2 O(2) + H(2)O, catalyzed by the enzyme were allowed to diffuse to and from the active site.

Proteus mirabilis is one of the important pathogens of urinary tract and exhibits resistance to multiple drugs. Development of vaccine tends to be the most promising and cost-effective remedy against the said pathogen. Herein, we implement a combinatorial approach for screening proteins harboring

From May to July 2010, severe outbreaks of bacterial canker of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were observed in 16 fields in the Province of Viterbo, central Italy. Cultivars affected were Uno Rosso, Peto 1296, UG 812, UG 822, and Podium. Disease incidence ranged from 70 to 100% and was highest for
