Responses of Four Campylobacterales to Cadmium Stress (2008)

Kaakoush, Nadeem, Mendz, George

The tolerance to cadmium cations of four Campylobacterales species was determined and compared to understand better bacterial mechanisms of resistance to cadmium stress. Growth inhibition experiments...

Campylobacter jejuni Response to Human Mucin MUC2: Modulation of colonization and Pathogenicity Determinants (2008)

Tu, Quoc V., McGuckin, Michael M., Mendz, George

Campylobacter jejuni is the main cause of bacterial acute gastroenteritis worldwide. In its colonization of the host intestinal tract, it encounters secreted mucins in the mucus layer and surface...

Roles of α and β Carbonic Anhydrases of Helicobacter pylori in the Urease-Dependent Response to Acidity and in Colonization of the Murine Gastric Mucosa (2008)

Bury-Mone, Stephanie, Mendz, George, Ball, Graham, Thibonnier, Marie, Stingl, Kerstin, Ecobichon, Chantal, ...

Carbon dioxide occupies a central position in the physiology of Helicobacter pylori owing to its capnophilic nature, the large amounts of carbon dioxide produced by urease-mediated urea hydrolysis,...

Molecular Responses of Campylobacter jejuni to Cadmium Stress (2008)

Kaakoush, Nadeem, Raftery, Mark, Mendz, George

Cadmium ions are a potent carcinogen in animals, and cadmium is a toxic metal of significant environmental importance for humans. Response curves were used to investigate the effects of cadmium...

Genetic Microheterogeneity and Phenotypic Variation of Helicobacter pylori Arginase in Clinical Isolates (2007)

Hovey, Justin, Watson, Emily, Langford, Melanie, Hildebrandt, Ellen, Bathala, Sangeetha, Bolland, Jeffrey, ...

Background: Clinical isolates of the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori display a high level of genetic macro- and microheterogeneity, featuring a panmictic, rather than clonal structure. The...

Methods for the Measurement of a Bacterial Enzyme Activity in Cell Lysates and Extracts

Burns, Brendan, Mendz, George, Hazell, Stuart

The kinetic characteristics and regulation of aspartate carbamoyltransferase activity were studied in lysates and cell extracts of Helicobacter pylori by three diffirent methods. Nuclear magnetic...
