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 ...
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). ...
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 ...
The Effect of Selected Chemicals on the Induction of Lambda Phage in Escherichia Coli W1709
(Creighton University, 1973)
Bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. They were discovered independently by Twort in England and d'Herelle in France (1). d'Herelle and his colleagues demonstrated the bacteriophage to be a self ...
The Endocervical Flora: Factors Influencing Its Composition and Evidence for a Protective Role in Resistance to Infections Caused by Neisseria Gonorrhea
(Creighton University, 1976)
Descriptions of a venereal disease syndrome resembling gonorrhea have been present throughout much of recorded history. Despite the development of effective chemotherapeutic agents and recent intense efforts by epidemiologists ...
Diagnosis of Gonorrhea in the Clinical Laboratory
(Creighton University, 1971)
Gonorrhea, a disease recognized for centuries, has become an important social disease of the world today» Soon after chemotherapeutic treatment began, Dees and Colston (17) introduced the sulfonamides to treat gonorrhea, ...
Selection and Characterization of Strains of Staphylococcus aureus Displaying Unusual Resistance to Aminoglycosides
(Creighton University, 1976)
Studies concerning the effects of procedural variations on the activity of aminoglycosides have revealed that a single procedural change can significantly alter results, particularly in tests with Staphylococcus aureus ...
Changes in Murine Spleen Cells Following Immunization With Bokdetella Pertussis Vaccine
(Creighton University, 1977)
The presence of reaginic antibody in the serum of allergic patients was first demonstrated by Prausnitz and Kiistner (1921) . Prausnitz passively sensitized his arm by intracutaneous injection of serum from Kustner, who ...
