Evaluation of the activity of antimicrobial peptides against bacterial vaginosis
New drugs for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) are yet to be developed due to concerns that they may contribute to the increase in antibiotic resistance in BV.

Quorum Sensing of Periodontal Pathogens
The term ‘quorum sensing’ describes intercellular bacterial communication which regulates bacterial gene expression according to population cell density. Bacteria produce and secrete small molecules, named autoinducers, into the intercellular space.

This review highlights recent progress in nanocarriers targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll‐like and NOD‐like receptors, for enhancing the treatment of bacterial sepsis and related complications. These nanomedicines deliver antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents while modulating immune responses.

DISTRIBUTION OF R-FACTORS IN GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA
A total number of 259 gram negative bacteria (entero-bacteria) isolated during the years 1973-1974 was examined. These strains were isolated from sick children referred and or hospitalized in a children hospital in Tehran. The strains consisted of ; 131E.

Bovine mastitis caused by gram negative bacteria in Mosul [PDF]
A total of 90 milk samples were collected from cows with clinical and subclinical mastitis from different areas in Mosul city, in a period from October 2009 to June 2010, for the detection of gram negative bacteriological causative agents.

Integron in Gram negative bacteria: Classes and fitness cost
Bacteria intrinsically harbor methods of gene exchange that are distinct from those in eukaryotes, but subject to natural selection laws. Dissemination of antimicrobial resistance is one of the major consequences of gene exchange ability.

Imaging pH in a live rabbit at the surface of a sensor‐coated titanium plate using X‐ray excited luminescent chemical imaging (XELCI). A raster scanning X‐ray beam generates radioluminescence from a spot on the sensor, and the luminescence passes through the tissue and is collected at two wavelengths to determine local pH.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma-associated Proteobacteria, but not commensal Prevotella spp., promote Toll-like receptor 2-independent lung inflammation and pathology [PDF]
Recent studies of healthy human airways have revealed colonization by a distinct commensal bacterial microbiota containing Gram-negative Prevotella spp.
