Occurrence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in agricultural soils and antibiotic resistance properties. The occurrence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was monitored in organic amendments and agricultural soils from various sites in France and Tunisia. S. maltophilia was detected in horse and bovine manures, and its abundance ranged from 0.294 (±0.509) × 10(3) to 880 (±33.4) × 10(3) CFU (g drywt)(-1) of sample. S. maltophilia was recovered from most tested soil samples (104/124). Its abundance varied from 0.33 (±0.52) to 414 (±50) × 10(3) CFU (g drywt)(-1) of soil and was not related to soil characteristics. Antibiotic resistance properties of a set of environmental strains were ...
Hemolytic activity of Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens strains: influence of abiotic factors in solid and liquid assays. The influence of growth medium, hemin and menadione, blood source and atmosphere of incubation on the expression of hemolytic activity of 25 strains of Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens was evaluated. The best hemolytic activity was observed for samples of both species growing in brain heart infusion agar and incubated in Brewer-like anaerobic jars for 48 h. Hemolysis was less intense and occurred later in the presence of hemin and menadione in solid media. beta-Hemolysis was detected for medium supplemented with horse or human blood and alpha-hemolysis was observed when sheep bl...
Study of the haemolytic process and receptors of thermostable direct haemolysin from Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The haemolytic action of 125I-labelled thermostable direct haemolysin from Vibrio parahaemolyticus was studied on human and equine erythrocytes. In the first step, the haemolysin bound to the membranes of both erythrocyte species. This binding seemed temperature-independent. Then, for human erythrocytes, haemolysin produced cell disruption, and haemoglobin was released. Following this step, haemolysin was also released in a temperature-dependent manner. In contrast, equine erythrocytes were not disrupted, and no release of haemolysin occurred. The receptors of labelled haemolysin were analysed...
