Lysis of nitrofurantoin-resistant strain of Vibrio el tor

Abstract

Both nitrofurantoin-sensitive and nitrofurantoin-resistant strains of Vibrio el tor were found to lyze in the presence of Tris-EDTA at alkaline pH. The rate of lysis was appreciably enhanced by lysozyme. The amounts of intracellular components, viz. proteins and carbohydrates, released from the nitrofurantoin-sensitive strain by Tris-EDTA treatment, were significantly lower than those from the nitrofurantoin-resistant strain. Differences in periplasmic proteins released from Tris-EDTA treated cells of nitrofurantoin-resistant and -sensitive strains were revealed by gel electrophoresis.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
