Disease relevance of Mirabilis

 

High impact information on Mirabilis

  • Results of experiments in a laboratory model of a Foley catheterised bladder infected with P mirabilis showed that when retention balloons were inflated with a solution of triclosan (10 g/L), the catheters drained freely for at least 7 days [6].
  • RESULTS: In the absence of urea, the acid tolerances of wild-type H. pylori, a urease-negative H. pylori mutant, Escherichia coli, and Proteus mirabilis were similar [7].
  • During a period of 10 weeks, four patients in one hospital became infected with gentamicin-resistant Proteus mirabilis [2].
  • Two extremely eurythermal goby fishes, Gillichthys mirabilis and Gillichthys seta, which encounter habitat temperature variations of approximately 30 degrees C, showed seasonal acclimatization of endogenous levels and of onset temperatures for enhanced synthesis of a 90-kDa-class heat shock protein (HSP90) [8].
  • Tetradecapeptide somatostatin (10-80 microM) and its analog urotensin II (0.1-5 microM), a dodecapeptide from the urophysis of the teleost fish Gillichthys mirabilis, produced similar slowly developing relaxations of carbachol-induced tone [9].

Associations of Mirabilis with chemical compounds

  • In striking contrast, the addition of 5 mmol/L of urea completely protected H. pylori but not P. mirabilis or C. jejuni from pH values as low as 1 [25].
  • When cells of P. mirabilis containing NR1 are cultured in medium containing Cm at 250 microgram/ml a growth lag of 20-35 hr ensues [26].
  • Gamma-irradiation induced high levels of nitrate reductase activity (NADH:nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1) in callus of Haworthia mirabilis Haworth [27].
  • Ribosome-inactivating and adenine polynucleotide glycosylase activities in Mirabilis jalapa L. tissues [28].
  • The degradation was blocked by the metalloproteinase inhibitors GM6001 and 1, 10-phenantroline (both of which inhibited P. aeruginosa elastase, P. mirabilis proteinase, and E. faecalis gelatinase), or the inhibitor E64 (which inhibited S. pyogenes cysteine proteinase) [29].
 

Gene context of Mirabilis

  • Cell invasion by P. mirabilis and mucin- and cell type-related distribution and response differences indicate bacterial tropism that affects crystal formation and mucosal presence [30].
  • To explain different clinical significance of the strains we evaluated the biological activity of the lipopolysaccharides of P. mirabilis O3 and O18, as measured by interleukin-8 (IL-8) production [31].
  • Ten clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis were found to produce an inhibitor-resistant TEM beta-lactamase (IRT) in association with a TEM-1 enzyme [32].
  • CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that antibodies against antigenic determinants of P. mirabilis in RA and K. pneumoniae in AS have cytotoxic properties on structurally related host proteins [33].
  • Finally we have reconstituted recombination pathways of S marcescens and P mirabilis by combining the cloned recA and recBCD genes from these species in E coli deleted for recA and recBCD [34].
