pseudomallei samples from the northeast Thailand collection were cultured on Ashdown, selective agar plates and confirmed the species using latex agglutination test and matrix-laser absorption ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A single colony from Ashdown agar plate was subjected to culture ...
Darapladib was originally developed as a selective inhibitor of extracellular lipoprotein-associated PLA2 (Lp-PLA2) (Blackie et al., 2003). However, Lp-PLA2 is absent in RBCs and is also not internalized by P. falciparum-infected RBCs from ...
Hence, the presence of cytolysin is not always associated with hemolysis on blood agar. In 2009, two pilot studies performed by Gaspar et al. [211] and Upadhyaya et al. [212] showed that the absence of hemolysis may result from a weak expression of the related gene, which does not ...
A fecal, blood, or other sample is placed in nutrient broth or on agar and incubated for up to 2-3 days. After that time, a trained microbiologist can identify the bacteria, if present, and confirm its identity by looking at biochemical reactions. Typically, this test is conducted at a ...
In present study, we explored the function of AHSA1 in MM cell proliferation and PI resistance, revealed the mechanism on how Bufalin targeted AHSA1 to suppress MM development, and identified the potential therapeutic effects of KU-177 as a selective AHSA1 inhibitor [23]. ...

Monsen T, Persson S , Edebro H, Granstrom S, Wistrom J (2003). Mueller-Hinton agar is superior to PDM blood agar for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Clin. Microbiol. Infect. 9: 61-64Hinton agar is superior to PDM blood agar for detection of methicillin-resistant ...
5a), which was inhibited by 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA), a selective macropinocytosis inhibitor42. Interestingly, KRAS cells were found to be more sensitive to EIPA compared to Control cells (Fig. 5b), confirming the acquired dependence of KRAS cells for macropinocytosis. To ...
H. pylori was grown onto Campylobacter agar (Oxoid, UK) with 8% sheep blood and H. pylori selective supplement (Oxoid, UK) in DupA protein is a stable, antigenic protein with transmembrane helices but without signal peptides Using ProtParam, a protein whose instability index is smaller than ...
with the empty vector control or FOXO1wt. The ability of cells to grow under anchorage-independent conditions is considered a hallmark of oncogenic transformation.20 When seeded into soft agar, the number of colonies formed by A673sh and SK-N-MC cells after 2 weeks was significantly reduced ...
