filamentous hemagglutinin. The bacteria then grow at the site of infection and cause disease symptoms through the production of exotoxins. One of the main virulence factors of this organism is anA-B exotoxincalled thepertussis toxin (PT). When PT enters the host cells, it increases the cyclic ...

Large amounts of antibiotics used for human therapy has resulted in the selection of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple antimicrobial drugs. Thi...
p.i. but increased throughout the entire respiratory tract in response to infection at day 14 p.i. (Figure 4). Our results show for the first time that BPIFA1 is produced and stored in club cells. The presence of BPIFA1 protein in the terminal bronchioles in the apparent absence of RNA...
In this regard, during the 2007–2008 flu sea- sons, the selected vaccine strains protected against infection with the B/Victoria lineage, but over 95% of the circulating influenza B viruses were of the B/Yamagata lineage6. Thus, one proposed alternative to 1Microbiology Department, College of...

Patients under the age of 2 years, especially those born prematurely or with a heart condition, as well as the elderly, develop different symptoms of respiratory syncytial infection [2,3,4]. These age groups present with involvement of not only the upper respiratory tract, but the lower ...
Forty-two patients with respiratory tract infection caused byPseudomonas aeruginosa were treated with 500 mg ciprofloxacin administered orally twice daily.Pseudomonas aeruginosa was eradicated in 22 patients but recurred in eight patients. Clinical improvement or resolution was noted in 37 patients (88%)...
