Characterization of lactococci isolated from homemade kefir [PDF]
Five bacteriocin-producing lactococci isolates from traditionally prepared kefir were determined as Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. The analyzed isolates showed different plasmid profiles and no cross inhibition between them was detected.

Biofilm, proteinase and phospholipase production by Candida albicans isolates from a hospital in Thailand [PDF]
This study aimed to determine biofilm formation, and production of phospholipase and proteinase in 73 clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Biofilms formed in a 96-well plate were quantified by crystal violet staining.

Pathogenicity and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae: Cutting to the chase on proteases
Bacterial proteases and peptidases are integral to cell physiology and stability, and their necessity in Streptococcus pneumoniae is no exception. Protein cleavage and processing mechanisms within the bacterial cell serve to ensure that the cell lives ...

Investigation of the relationship between fluconazole susceptibility, proteinase activity and ERG11-SAP2 Expression in Candida albicans strains isolated from clinical samples [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Candida albicans is currently recognised as an opportunistic pathogen that can cause many invasive infections. Resistance mechanisms and fungal virulence factors play an important role in the effectiveness of treatment. The aim of

The role of proteinase enzymes in the process of conversion of muscle to meat [PDF]
Post mortem meat tenderization is a complex mechanism and unfortunately it has not been fully identified scientifically. It is known that endogenous proteinases have an important role in this mechanism.

Biomarkers of Skin Graft Healing in Venous Leg Ulcers
There is a need for biomarkers that predict the success of transplantation of venous leg ulcers (with autologous split-thickness skin grafts). The primary objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the association between split-thickness skin

Mechanical force is a determinant of Notch signalling but the mechanism of force detection and its coupling to Notch are unclear. We propose a role for Piezo1 channels, which are mechanically-activated non-selective cation channels.
