Gram-Positive Bacteria

2011
Bacillus cereus, best known for causing mild food poisoning, has been recognized as a cause of life-threatening infection in the immunocompromised host.1 It most commonly presents in a neutropenic patient as a single vesicle, pustule, or bulla on a digit or extremities with rapidly spreading cellulitis during the spring and summer.2,3 The bulla may ...

Evaluation of Structure-Function Relationships of Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogens for Simultaneous Dual Applications of Specific Discrimination and Efficient Photodynamic Killing of Gram-Positive Bacteria.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
Bacterial infectious diseases, especially those caused by Gram-positive bacteria, pose a serious threat to human health. Preparation of multifunctional system bearing both rapid bacterial differentiation and effective antibacterial effects is highly in ...

Extracellular electron transfer features of Gram-positive bacteria.

Analytica Chimica Acta, 2019
Electroactive microorganisms possess the unique ability to transfer electrons to or from solid phase electron conductors, e.g., electrodes or minerals, through various physiological mechanisms.

Peptide conversations in Gram-positive bacteria

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2014
Within Gram-positive bacteria, the expression of target genes is controlled at the population level via signaling peptides, also known as pheromones. Pheromones control a wide range of functions, including competence, virulence, and others that remain unknown.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-Positive Bacteria

The American Journal of Medicine, 2006
Gram-positive bacteria are common causes of bloodstream and other infections in hospitalized patients in the United States, and the percentage of nosocomial bloodstream infections caused by antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria is increasing. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are of ...

Assembly of pili in Gram-positive bacteria

Trends in Microbiology, 2004
The formation of adhesive pili on the surface of Gram-negative bacteria has been studied in detail, whereas the pilus assembly pathways in Gram-positive bacteria remain to be characterized. Gram-positive microbes use the cell wall peptidoglycan as a surface organelle for the covalent attachment of proteins; a strategy that involves sorting signals of ...

Gram-Positive Bacteria

2001
The pneumococcus Streptococcus pneumoniae commonly grows in pairs (diplococci) but also can grow in short chains. An outer polysaccharide capsule protects the organism against phagocytosis, and pneumococcal virulence is related to the composition and size of the capsule (1). There are 90 known capsular types.

New agents for Gram-positive bacteria

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2000
Infections caused by multiple-resistant Gram-positive organisms continue to occur at an alarming rate worldwide. Two new and unique antimicrobial agents targeted specifically against such organisms, quinupristin/dalfopristin and linezolid, have been approved for use in the USA in the past year and will play an important role in the treatment of life ...

Surface Display on Gram Positive Bacteria

Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening, 2012
Heterologous surface display on Gram-positive bacteria was first described almost a decade ago and has since then developed into an active research area. Gram-positive bacterial surface display has today found a range of applications, in immunology, microbiology and biotechnology. Live bacterial vaccine delivery vehicles are being developed through the

Membrane transitions in Gram-positive bacteria

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1971
Abstract Intact cells, membranes, and aqueous dispersion of lipids of Micrococcus lysodeikticus undergo a reversible thermotropic transition detectable by differential scanning calorimetry. The phenomenon is suggested to be a “melt” of fatty acid chains within lipid bilayers.
