Assessment of airway distribution of transnasal solutions in mice by PET/CT imaging. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
PURPOSE: Transnasal administration is one of the most common routes for allergen challenge in mouse models of airway diseases. Although this technique is widely used, neither the amount of allergen that reaches the lung nor its airway distribution has ...

Multiplex qPCR for reliable detection and differentiation of Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2013
Background Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei are two closely related species of highly virulent bacteria that can be difficult to detect. Pathogenic Burkholderia are endemic in many regions worldwide and cases of infection, sometimes brought by ...

Galleria mellonella as an alternative infection model for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

open access: yes, 2009
We report that larvae of the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are susceptible to infection with the human enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis at 37 degrees C. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that in the initial stages of infection the bacteria were

Diversity of the parB and repA genes of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and their utility for rapid identification of Burkholderia cenocepacia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: Burkholderia cenocepacia is the most prominent species of the B. cepacia complex (Bcc), a group of nine closely related and difficult to identify bacteria that cause serious infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Sequence-Defined Transposon Mutant Library of Burkholderia thailandensis

open access: yesmBio, 2013
We constructed a near-saturation transposon mutant library for Burkholderia thailandensis, a low-virulence surrogate for the causative agent of melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei). A primary set of nearly 42,000 unique mutants (~7.5 mutants/gene) was

Burkholderia pseudomallei Evades Nramp1 (Slc11a1)- and NADPH Oxidase-Mediated Killing in Macrophages and Exhibits Nramp1-Dependent Virulence Gene Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Bacterial survival in macrophages can be affected by the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1; also known as solute carrier family 11 member a1 or Slc11a1) which localizes to phagosome membranes and transports divalent cations ...

Multi-system infection – tuberculosis or melioidosis?

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2018
Melioidosis is a multi-system disorder which is often mistaken for tuberculosis in the Indian sub-continent. It is caused by the gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Pollen-induced airway inflammation, hyper-responsiveness and apoptosis in a murine model of allergy.

open access: yes, 2007
BACKGROUND: Previous studies indicate that murine models are useful tools for studying the allergic diseases, including certain aspects of bronchial asthma such as cellular tissue inflammation and pulmonary function. OBJECTIVE: To develop an experimental

Antibiosis activities against burkholderia pseudomallei by other burkholderia species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Burkholderia pseudomallei is known as a significant causative agent of melioidosis and a versatile species of bacteria which inhabit diverse ecological niches including soil and water sources.

Anisakis simplex allergy: a murine model of anaphylaxis induced by parasitic proteins displays a mixed Th1/Th2 pattern.

open access: yes, 2005
The study of the singular hypersensitivity reactions to Anisakis simplex (A.s) proteins, may help us to undestand many of the unknown immune interactions between helmiths infections and allergy. We have developed a murine model of allergy to A.
