Nutritional Aspects Of Cytotoxin Production By Clostridium Difficile, Doreen P. Osgood, Norris P. Wood, Jay F. Sperry Jan 1993

Nutritional Aspects Of Cytotoxin Production By Clostridium Difficile, Doreen P. Osgood, Norris P. Wood, Jay F. Sperry

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

Arginine was the only amino acid used by Clostridium difficile that permitted cytotoxin synthesis in a peptone-based medium. Synthesis of cytotoxin was delayed when glucose was used as the substrate. Addition of rifampin or puromycin to cultures prior to release of cytotoxin inhibited the release of cytotoxin, suggesting that a protein essential for cytotoxin release is synthesized after cytotoxin is synthesized.


Direct Plating Procedure For Enumerating Vibrio Vulnificus In Oysters (Crassostrea Virginica), G. A. Miceli, W. D. Watkins, S. R. Rippey Jan 1993

Direct Plating Procedure For Enumerating Vibrio Vulnificus In Oysters (Crassostrea Virginica), G. A. Miceli, W. D. Watkins, S. R. Rippey

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

A procedure for enumerating and identifying Vibrio vulnificus in oysters was developed and evaluated. This method consists of growth on a direct plating medium (VVE medium) for isolating the organism from shellfish tissues, followed by biochemical tests for differentiating and identifying presumptively positive isolates. Densities of V. vulnificus are reliably obtained in 2 to 4 days, and as few as 10 culturable cells per 100 g can be identified. The procedure was evaluated by using a DNA probe technique specific for the cytotoxin-hemolysin gene of V. vulnificus and gas chromatographic analysis of the fatty acid contents of positive isolates. …

Piglet Ileal Mucus Contains Protein And Glycolipid (Galactosylceramide) Receptors Specific For Escherichia Coli K88 Fimbriae, Lena Blomberg, Howard C. Krivan, Paul S. Cohen, Patricia L. Conway Jan 1993

Piglet Ileal Mucus Contains Protein And Glycolipid (Galactosylceramide) Receptors Specific For Escherichia Coli K88 Fimbriae, Lena Blomberg, Howard C. Krivan, Paul S. Cohen, Patricia L. Conway

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

The aim of this study was to characterize the Escherichia coli K88-specific receptors in mucus from the small intestines of 35-day-old piglets with the isogenic strains E. coli K-12(pMK005) (K88+) and E. coli K-12(pMK002) (K88-). These strains differed only in that the latter one cannot produce intact K88 fimbriae because of a deletion in the gene coding for the major fimbrial subunit. Adhesion was studied by incubating 3H-labeled bacteria with crude mucus, pronase-treated whole mucus, mucus fractionated by gel filtration, delipidated mucus, or extracted lipids immobilized in microtiter wells. In addition, E. coli strains were tested …

The Role Played By Semisubmersible Exploratory Drilling Platforms As A Vector In Marine Biological Introductions, Sean S. Bercaw Jan 1993

The Role Played By Semisubmersible Exploratory Drilling Platforms As A Vector In Marine Biological Introductions, Sean S. Bercaw

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Through discussion of Semisubmersible Exploratory Drilling Platforms and their role as vectors in marine biological introductions, this paper establishes a base of knowledge for future referral. Included in this project are details of semisubmersibles, their unique characteristics and operations, historical movements, past introductions, future operations, and continuing potential for invasions. The significance of semisubmersibles as biological vectors is further addressed. Three criteria will be used to assess the significance of the role of semisubmersibles in the introduction of alien species: first, what is the rate of SEDP movements over time; second, how are SEDP movements unique, and what role does …


Nonpoint Source Pollution From Agricultural Runoff: An Analysis Of Problems, Solutions, And The Remedial Action Plan Process For The St. Louis River Basin, Thomas V. Giddings Jan 1993

Nonpoint Source Pollution From Agricultural Runoff: An Analysis Of Problems, Solutions, And The Remedial Action Plan Process For The St. Louis River Basin, Thomas V. Giddings

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Agricultural nonpoint source pollution is the pollution coming from agricultural production, which has no clear origin. It comes from a diffuse source, such as a farm field or an animal holding area. While programs and studies probe every facet of point sources and extol the efforts of point source clean-up, the relatively more difficult task of identifying nonpoint sources and the process of proposing to do something about them has been largely ignored. Reducing the adverse impacts on the environment from farm related activities requires knowledge of the various pollutants and how pollutant pathways can be interrupted. Nutrients, and pesticides …


Linking Management And Markets: The Northwest Atlantic Sea Herring Industry And The Case For "Regional" Quotas, Peter Jessup Moore Jan 1993

Linking Management And Markets: The Northwest Atlantic Sea Herring Industry And The Case For "Regional" Quotas, Peter Jessup Moore

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

This review and characterization of the U.S. Atlantic sea herring fishery and industry analyzes opportunities for and constraints to developing the herring resource more fully. Chapter 1 describes the herring resource, the existing fishery, and reviews current research into the international transboundary migrations of the Atlantic sea herring. Chapters 2 and 3 describe the development of the herring fishery management plan in the context of the global herring market and the management complications that arise from the transboundary migrations of the stocks. Examples of successful linkages between fisheries management and market development are described in Chapter 4 to illustrate the …


Study Of An Endangered Species Enhancement Program In Coastal Wetlands: Public Perceptions And Management Strategies, Virginia Marueen Witkowski Jan 1993

Study Of An Endangered Species Enhancement Program In Coastal Wetlands: Public Perceptions And Management Strategies, Virginia Marueen Witkowski

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Understanding what motivates public perception and actions is important in assessing public response and forecasting the success of resource management plans. Failure of the policy makers to foresee public reaction can result in expensive delays, bad press and lengthy court battles which at best, increases the cost of implementation and at worst stops resource management projects altogether. An endangered species management program was stopped at the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge in Southern California when an animal right's organization protested the euthanizing of non-native red foxes where were decimating endangered populations of California Least terns and Clapper rails in the …

Towards A Regional Coastal Zone Management Program In The Oecs, Keith E. Nichols Jan 1993

Towards A Regional Coastal Zone Management Program In The Oecs, Keith E. Nichols

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The Islands of the Lesser Antilles are described as "truly archipelagic, enjoying the characteristic features of both oceanic and coastal islands." Once considered pristine and far removed from the influences of pollution from coastal areas, they are now faced with the realities of their own solid waste problems, resource degradation and over-exploitation, as well as human health impacts from contaminated rivers and coastal areas. Each of these territories can be considered packages of economic, political and cultural networks, attempting to provide for individual and nationwide needs while seeking economic growth and self-sufficiency. If developed properly and used in tandem with …


Conflicts In Use: The Impacts Of The Oil And Gas Industry On The Herring Fishery In The North Sea, Cornelia Ann Pasche Jan 1993

Conflicts In Use: The Impacts Of The Oil And Gas Industry On The Herring Fishery In The North Sea, Cornelia Ann Pasche

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The interaction of the herring (Clupea harengus) with the oil and gas industry in the North Sea is reviewed. The population crash of the herring in the early 1970's and the subsequent closing of that important fishery between 1977 and 1983 has drawn considerable attention to the influences, both biotic and abiotic, affecting the recruitment to the North Sea stock. Current accepted theory points to a change in oceanic current and the subsequent decrease in salinity in the North Sea region, resulting in a change in plankton availability for larval herring as the cause of the recruitment failure during the …

In Vitro Postantibiotic Effect Following Repeated Exposure To Imipenem, Temafloxacin, And Tobramycin, Betty J. Mcgrath, Randall Marchbanks, Deborah H. Gilbert, Michael N. Dudley Jan 1993

In Vitro Postantibiotic Effect Following Repeated Exposure To Imipenem, Temafloxacin, And Tobramycin, Betty J. Mcgrath, Randall Marchbanks, Deborah H. Gilbert, Michael N. Dudley

Pharmacy Practice and Clinical Research Faculty Publications

The postantibiotic effect (PAE) following three consecutive 2-h exposures to imipenem, temafloxacin, and tobramycin was determined in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A PAE and a bactericidal effect were consistently observed for imipenem following each cycle of drug exposure and regrowth. In contrast, the PAE increased with repeated exposure with temafloxacin (1.8 to > 5 h), but disappeared with tobramycin by the third exposure (0.9 to 0 h). These data show that the in vitro PAE may change within a strain following multiple cycles of drug exposure and bacterial regrowth.


Dose Ranging And Fractionation Of Intravenous Ciprofloxacin Against Pseudomonas Aeruginosa And Staphylococcus Aureus In An In Vitro Model Of Infection, C. Randall Marchbanks, R. Mckiel, Deborah H. Gilbert, Norman J. Robillard, Barbara Painter, Stephen H. Zinner, Michael N. Dudley Jan 1993

Dose Ranging And Fractionation Of Intravenous Ciprofloxacin Against Pseudomonas Aeruginosa And Staphylococcus Aureus In An In Vitro Model Of Infection, C. Randall Marchbanks, R. Mckiel, Deborah H. Gilbert, Norman J. Robillard, Barbara Painter, Stephen H. Zinner, Michael N. Dudley

Pharmacy Practice and Clinical Research Faculty Publications

The effect of dose or dose interval on the pharmacodynamics of simulated high-dose intravenous ciprofloxacin therapy on infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was studied in an in vitro hollow-fiber model of infection. Simulated doses of 1,200 mg of ciprofloxacin per day as either 400 mg every 8 h or 600 mg every 12 h against P. aeruginosa resulted in selection of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria. The results with one test strain that was isolated from a patient prior to administration of intravenous ciprofloxacin demonstrated selection of a gyrA mutant in the model, as had occurred in vivo. A single …
