The pathogenic species Neisseria meningitidis andNeisseria gonorrhoeae cause dramatically
different diseases despite strong relatedness at the genetic and biochemical levels.N. …

A two‐dimensional structural model was devised for the Opc outer membrane protein
invasin which contains 10 transmembrane strands and five surface‐exposed loops. One …

The transition from traditional growth-based microbial detection methods to continuous bio-fluorescent
particle counting methods represents a paradigm shift, because the results will be …

Fluorescence-coupled PCR technology was employed to quantify DNA segments specific
for Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae. The PCR …

Adopting emerging microbiological methods is often desirable because it enables more
advantageous, real-time monitoring practices. However, when the newer method measures …

Biofluorescent particle counters (BFPCs) allow for the detection and enumeration of
microorganisms in the environment and rely on intrinsic fluorescence detection instead of growth, …

Lymphedema, lymphangiectasias, mental retardation and unusual facial characteristics
define the autosomal recessive Hennekam syndrome. Homozygosity mapping identified a …

Background— New vessel formation contributes to organ development during embryogenesis
and tissue repair in response to mechanical damage, inflammation, and ischemia in adult …

The effects of the new cytostatic drug cis‐diamminedichloro‐platinum(II) (cis‐platinum) on
the developing neocortex of NMRI mouse embryos or fetuses were investigated using light‐ …

In this study, Raman microspectroscopy has been utilized to identify mycobacteria to the
species level. Because of the slow growth of mycobacteria, the per se cultivation‐independent …
