The major collagenolytic proteinase present in the culture filtrate of Bacillus cereus (strain Soc 67, isolated from the human oral cavity) has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure that comprised concentration of ultrafiltered growth medium on a Millipore PTTK00005 membrane, precipitation
Alkaline D-peptidase from Bacillus cereus DF4-B, called ADP, is a D-stereospecific endopeptidase reacting with oligopeptides containing D-phenylalanine (D-Phe) at N-terminal penultimate residue. ADP has attracted increasing attention because it is useful as a catalyst for synthesis of D-Phe
Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) as a recognition element for sensors are increasingly of interest and MIP nanoclusters have started to appear in the literature. In this study, we have proposed a novel thiol ligand-capping method with polymerizable methacryloylamidocysteine (MAC) attached to
Bacillus cereus (B cereus) is an aerobic or facultative anaerobic gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium. It can cause fatal disease and generally manifests as 3 distinct syndromes: food intoxication, localized infection, and systemic infection. It is a rare infection that can occur in The case was 54-year-old male with some risks such as chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and liver chirrhosis. He was admitted because of severe back pain and diagnosed as empyema by preoperative thoracentesis. By thoracoscopic procedures under local anesthesia, fibrinopurulent tissues were
Bacillus cereus is a food-borne pathogen that causes a self-limiting gastroenteritis. We describe the case of a 72-year-old woman admitted to our hospital because of acute abdominal colic pain. Over a 2-day period, her clinical condition deteriorated rapidly, with the appearance of acute abdomen.
Two healthy young black men developed panophthalmitis after intravenous heroin injections. Bacillus cereus, considered to be a relatively noncommon pathogen for man, was found to be the causative agent as it was recovered from the anterior chamber and viterous cavity of both cases. The ocular
Production of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis toxins is controlled by a number of transcriptional regulators. Here we report the crystal structure of B. cereus HlyIIR, a regulator of the gene encoding the pore-forming toxin hemolysin II. We show that HlyIIR forms a tight dimer with a fold and
In host-pathogen interactions, the struggle for iron may have major consequences on the outcome of the disease. To overcome the low solubility and bio-availability of iron, bacteria have evolved multiple systems to acquire iron from various sources such as heme, hemoglobin and ferritin. The
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of intravitreal moxifloxacin with or without dexamethasone on experimental Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.
METHODS
The right eyes of 21 New Zealand albino rabbits weighing 2-3 kg were used in this study. Each eye was inoculated with 1×10(6) colony-forming units of
We report on the first step in mapping out the spatial location of structural proteins within the exosporium, namely a description of its three-dimensional architecture. Using electron microscopy and image analysis, we have characterized crystalline fragments from the exosporium of Bacillus cereus,
Because of the lack of structural studies on aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (APH) from prevalent volatile human pathogen Bacillus cereus, aminoglycoside resistance therapeutics research remains elusive. Hence, in this computational study, we have performed homology modeling, molecular docking,
