Antimicrobial activity of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from crotalid snake venoms and synthetic peptide variants derived from their C-terminal region
(Elsevier, 2005)
A short peptide derived from the C-terminal region of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2), was previously found to reproduce the bactericidal activity of its parent molecule. In this study, a panel ...
Bactericidal and Antiendotoxic Properties of Short Cationic Peptides Derived from a Snake Venom Lys49 Phospholipase A2
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-04)
The activities of short synthetic, nonhemolytic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of myotoxin 11, a catalytically inactive phospholipase A(2) homologue present in the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, have been ...

A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the effect of neosporosis on productive and reproductive parameters in dairy cows. Cows (n = 2743) from 94 farms located in the most important dairy areas in Costa Rica were ...
Characterization of Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide macrodomains as mega rafts
(Blackwell Science, 2005-09-28)
The lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of intracellular Proteobacteria such as Brucella, Chlamydia, Legionella and Rickettsia, have properties distinct from enterobacterial LPSs. These properties include deficient LPS induction of ...

The aerobic cloacal and nasal bacterial flora of 45 apparently healthy female olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) was studied at Nancite nesting beach, in Santa Rosa National Park (Costa Rican North Pacific) ...
MyD88, but not Toll-Like receptors 4 and 2, Is required for efficient clearance of Brucella abortus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-08)
It is not clear how the host initially recognizes and responds to infection by gram-negative pathogenic
Brucella spp. It was previously shown (D. S. Weiss, B. Raupach, K. Takeda, S. Akira, and A. Zychlinsky, J.
Immunol. ...
