Disease relevance of Actinomyces

 

High impact information on Actinomyces

  • Geldanamycin (GA) is an antibiotic produced by Actinomyces, which specifically inhibits the function of the heat shock protein 90 family [6].
  • Organophosphorous agents (DFP and PMSF), chloromethyl-ketone derivatives of tosylamino acids (TLCK and TPCK), Actinomyces products (pepstatin and chymostatin), and the synthetic protease substrate TAME inhibited monocyte-mediated cytotoxicity against ActD-treated WEHI 164 cells [7].
  • Salivary statherin peptide-binding epitopes of commensal and potentially infectious Actinomyces spp. delineated by a hybrid peptide construct [8].
  • Daptomycin was two- to fourfold less active against Actinomyces spp. than vancomycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin, or linezolid [9].
  • Roles of fructosyltransferase and levanase-sucrase of Actinomyces naeslundii in fructan and sucrose metabolism [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Actinomyces

  • Influence of physicochemical parameters on adsorption of Actinomyces viscosus to hydroxyapatite surfaces [11].
  • The occurrence of these polysaccharides on 19 additional viridans group streptococcal strains that participate in lactose-sensitive coaggregations with actinomyces was examined [12].
  • Characterization of a galactose-specific lectin from Actinomyces viscosus by a model aggregation system [13].
  • The Actinomyces formed more volatile acids than the streptococci, mostly acetic, and S. sanguis formed more soluble extracellular polysaccharide than the other bacteria [14].
  • Type 1- actinomyces exhibited feeble adsorption to latex beads or HA treated with any of the aforementioned proteins [15].
