P1.51 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and NG-MAST profile ofneisseria gonorrhoeaeisolates collected from std patients from across india [PDF]

Systems Biology and Novel Technologies For Molecular Analysis and Diagnosis, 2017
Introduction Neisseria gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST) is a highly discriminatory technique for assessing the genetic diversity of N. gonorrhoeae (NG) and has also been put forward as a tool for predicting specific antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes.

Dissemination and genome analysis of high-level ceftriaxone-resistant penA 60.001 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains from the Guangdong Gonococcal antibiotics susceptibility Programme (GD-GASP), 2016–2019

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Background: After Neisseria gonorrhoeae FC428 was first found in Japan, ceftriaxone-resistant strains disseminated globally, and the gonococcal resistance rate increased remarkably.

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from Slovenia, 2006-12: rise and fall of the multidrug-resistant NG-MAST genogroup 1407 clone? [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2014
To determine the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates obtained between 2006 and 2012 in Slovenia.Gonococcal isolates obtained between 2006 and 2012 in Slovenia (n = 194) were investigated with Etest for susceptibility to cefixime, ceftriaxone, penicillin, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, tetracycline, gentamicin and ...

Mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells acquire responsiveness to substance P after co-culture with 3T3 fibroblasts in the presence of stem cell factor

Allergology International, 1998
Connective tissue-type mast cells degranulate in response to a neurogenic peptide, substance P, whereas bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) do not respond to this stimulant when prepared with a combination of interleukin-3 and interleukin-4.

P4-S1.08 Performance comparison ofNeisseria gonorrhoeae(NG) sequence typing methods NG-MAST and NG-MLVA on a defined panel of isolates [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2011
BackgroundThe increase inN gonorrhoeae(NG) prevalence since the mid-1990s, increasing antibiotic resistance, and the absence of an effective vaccine, demand more efficient national and international surveillance of the NG epidemiology. Accordingly, objective, robust and discriminatory genotyping is a crucial tool. The performance characteristics of the

P3.269 Association ofNeisseria GonorrhoeaeNG-MAST Strain Types and Specific Mutation Pattern Combinations inpenA, mtrRandporB [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2013
Background Antimicrobial resistance to third generation cephalosporins, penicillin and tetracycline in Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates can be associated with particular strain types (STs) as well as specific mutation patterns in penA, mtrR or porB .

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent activation of Btk is required for optimal eicosanoid production and generation of reactive oxygen species in antigen-stimulated mast cells

, 2008
Activated mast cells are a major source of the eicosanoids PGD(2) and leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), which contribute to allergic responses. These eicosanoids are produced following the ERK1/2-dependent activation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2), thus ...

The role of heparin in the activation of mast cell tryptase [PDF]

, 2004
Mast cells play an important role in our immune defense against bacteria and parasites but are also key effector cells in various inflammatory diseases. They act by releasing inflammatory mediators from intracellular granules.
