Across-shift changes in upper airways after exposure to bacterial cell wall components
Introduction To assess the across-shift changes of cytokine concentrations in nasal lavage (NAL) samples were collected from workers exposed to bacterial cell wall components present in organic dust in three different occupational environments. Material

The endotoxin of the meningococcus [PDF]
1. The view is advanced that the endotoxin of the meningococcus is one of a group of thermostable intracellular bacterial poisons, and that it is not a specific antigenic toxin. 2. The inability of the “endotoxin” to function as an antigen does not lessen its importance as a pathogenic factor in cerebrospinal fever, since the lesions that are ...

Poor drinking water quality can affect pigs’ health and performance. The disinfection of water may enhance microbial water quality. In this study, bacteria and endotoxins in sodium hypochlorite-treated and -untreated water from one pig nursery were

Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. galleriae simultaneously produces two δ-endotoxins differing strongly in primary structure and entomocidal activity [PDF]
Strain 11–67 of B. thuringiensis ssp. galleriae produces two entomocidal proteins of molecular mass 130 kDa. Limited proteolysis of these proteins — protoxins — yields the ‘true’ toxins of molecular mass 65 kDa which are drastically different with ...

Exposure to endotoxin, a component of gram-negative bacterial cell walls, is widespread in many industrial settings and in the ambient environment. Heavy-exposure environments include livestock farms, cotton textile facilities, and saw mills. Concentrations are highly variable in non-occupational indoor and outdoor environments.

Toll-like receptor-mediated signaling cascade as a regulator of the inflammation network during alcoholic liver disease [PDF]
Chronic abuse of alcohol leads to various histological abnormalities in the liver. These are conditions collectively known as alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Currently, ALD is considered to be one of the major causes of death worldwide.

The ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium Pantoea agglomerans (synonyms: Enterobacter agglomerans , Erwinia herbicola ) is known both as an epiphytic microbe developing on the surface of plants and as an endophytic organism living inside the plants. The
