IDENTIFICATION AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE S-LAYER PROTEIN SPLA OF PAENIBACILLUS LARVAE, THE CAUSATIVE AGENT OF AMERICAN FOULBROOD OF HONEY BEES.

Identification and functional analysis of the S-layer protein SplA of Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American Foulbrood of honey bees.

The gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), a globally occurring, deathly epizootic of honey bee brood.AFB outbreaks are predominantly caused by two genotypes of P.larvae, ERIC I and ERIC II, with P.larvae ERIC II being the more virulent genotype on larval level.Recently, com

Spatial distribution of sequential ventilation during mechanical ventilation of the uninjured lung: an argument for cyclical airway collapse and expansion

Abstract Background grahams c+ eczema & dermatitis cream Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a recognized complication of mechanical ventilation.Although the specific mechanism by which mechanical ventilation causes lung injury remains an active area of study, the application of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) reduces its severity.We h
