Designing novel possible kinase inhibitor derivatives as therapeutics against Mycobacterium tuberculosis: An in silico study
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
Rv2984 is one of the polyphosphate kinases present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis involved in the
catalytic synthesis of inorganic polyphosphate, which plays an essential role in bacterial virulence
and drug resistance. ...
An in-vitro analysis of the antimicrobial efficacy of herbal toothpastes on selected primary plaque colonizers
(iMD Publishers, 2011)
Plaque associated oral disease affects a considerable portion of the population and is considered one of the major causes of tooth loss. In most cases toothbrushing only removes a limited amount of dental plaque and other ...
Phytochemical screening and biological activity studies of five South African indigenous medicinal plants
(Academic Journals, 2010)
Different extracts and fractions of five selected indigenous South African medicinal plants, namely, Cissampelos capensis, Geranium incanum and three Gethyllis species, were subjected to phytochemical screening and testing ...
Characterisation of campylobacter concisus strains from South Africa using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) profiling and a genomospecies-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay: Identification of novel genomospecies and correlation with clinical data
(Academic Journals, 2013)
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) profiling was used to evaluate the distribution of
phenotypically indistinguishable, but genetically distinct, among Campylobacter concisus strains from
South Africa. A Polymerase ...
A designed experiments approach to optimizing MALDI-TOF MS spectrum processing parameters enhances detection of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter jejuni
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
MALDI-TOF MS has been utilized as a reliable and rapid tool for microbial fingerprinting at the genus and species levels. Recently, there has been keen interest in using MALDI-TOF MS beyond the genus and species levels to ...
Antimicrobial activities of a novel biflavonoid and other constituents from Rhus natalensis
(Academic Journals, 2013)
Phytochemical studies on Rhus natalensis root bark collected from Kenya led to the isolation and
identification of a new biflavonoid (3-(1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-
yl)-7-methoxy-4H-ch ...
Multilocus sequence typing methods for the emerging Campylobacter species C. hyointestinalis, C. lanienae, C. sputorum, C. concisus, and C. curvus
(Frontiers Media, 2012)
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been reported previously for multiple food - and food animal-associated Campylobacter species (e.g., C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. fetus) to both differentiate strains ...
Biodiversity: so much more than legs and leaves
(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2013)
Microorganisms inhabit virtually every possible niche on Earth, including those at the outer envelope of survival. However, the focus of most conservation authorities and ecologists is the ‘legs and leaves’ side of biology ...
Hypolithic and soil microbial community assembly along an aridity gradient in the Namib Desert
(Springer, 2013)
The Namib Dessert is considered the oldest desert in the world and hyperarid for the last 5 million years. However, the environmental buffering provided by quartz and other translucent rocks supports extensive hypolithic ...
Review and re-analysis of domain-specific 16S primers
(Elsevier, 2003)
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has facilitated the detection of unculturable microorganisms in virtually any environmental source and has thus been used extensively in the assessment of environmental microbial diversity. ...
