Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Other Bacterial Species from Ornamental Aquarium Plants

Trust, T. J., Bartlett, Karen H.

Ornamental aquarium plants were demonstrated to carry as many as 108 viable mesophilic bacteria per g. Gram-negative organisms predominated among the 19 genera of bacteria identified. Pseudomonas...

Novispirin G10-Induced Lung Toxicity in a Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection Model

Bartlett, Karen H., McCray, Paul B., Thorne, Peter S.

Mammalian cathelicidins are a class of innate antimicrobial peptides isolated from leukocytes and epithelial cells that aid host defense against bacterial infections. Synthetic analogs of...

Antibacterial Activity of Tropilidine and Tropone

Trust, T. J., Bartlett, Karen H.

The seven-membered ring compounds tropilidine and tropone were shown to be bacteriostatic and bactericidal for a wide range of bacterial species.

Comparative Gene Genealogies Indicate that Two Clonal Lineages of Cryptococcus gattii in British Columbia Resemble Strains from Other Geographical Areas

Kidd, Sarah E., Guo, Hong, Bartlett, Karen H., Xu, Jianping, Kronstad, James W.

Cryptococcus gattii has recently emerged as a pathogen of humans and animals in the temperate climate of Vancouver Island, British Columbia (B.C.). The majority (∼95%) of the isolates from the...
