The Mode of Action of Immunoregulatory Alpha Globulin (IRA) on Murine Lymphocytes: Relation of the Immunosuppressive Activity of Various Pathologic Conditions
(Creighton University, 1974)
Numerous reports in the literature indicate that there are immunosuppressive components in the alpha globulin fractions of human and murine sera (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). These investigations shed new insights on the ...
Enzyme Mediated Gentamicin Resistance Among Gram-Negative Clinical Isolates
(Creighton University, 1976)
Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal antibiotic of the aminoglycoside family. It has been shown through extensive evaluation to be effective in the treatment of serious gram- negative bacillary infections (1-5). ...
An Epidemiological Evaluation of Antagonism Between the Normal Throat Flora and Group a Streptococci
(Creighton University, 1975)
The epidemiology, treatment, and prevention of group A streptococcal pharyngitis and its sequela of rheumatic fever have been extensively studied. Estimates of the incidence of streptococcal pharyngitis in the United States ...
Dermatophyte Respiration Antagonism in Vitro by Juglone
(Creighton University, 1960)
Centuries before juglone was isolated and structurally analyzed it was employed as a medicinal ingredient in combating venereal diseases, eczema, mycotic infections, gastro-intestinal disorders and a number of varied ...
Evaluation of Concentrations in Penicillin Sensitivity Discs
(Creighton University, 1960)
Since the advent of antibiotics as chemotherapeutic agents, the importance of determining the sensitivity to these drugs of micro-organisms present in clinical specimens has become of prime importance. | Prior to Fleming's ...
Mutation of Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus in the Presence of Human Serum

Plasmid-Host Cell Relationships in Staphylococcus Aureus: The Role of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Dark Repair Systems
(Creighton University, 1977)
Numerous studies have demonstrated the existence of DNA repair systems which function to preserve the basic integrity of genetic material. These repair systems are of two basic classes: the first class contains a repair ...
Inhibition of Proteus Swarming by the Metabolic Products of Serratia Marcescens
(Creighton University, 1971)
Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis, members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, exhibit the phenomenon of swarming on moist agar media. Swarming is a cyclic pattern of active motility and stationary growth away from a ...
