ONE-STEP PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ALGINATE LYASE FROM A CLINICAL PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA WITH DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVITY ON BACTERIAL BIOFILM

One-step purification and characterization of alginate lyase from a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa with destructive activity on bacterial biofilm

Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosais a Gram-negative and aerobic rod bacterium that displays mucoid and non-mucoid phenotype.Mucoid strains secrete alginate, which is the main agent of biofilms in chronic P.aeruginosa infections, show high resistance to antibiotics; consequently, the biological disruption of mucoid P.aeruginosa biofilms is an att

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with intact atrial septum in a child with ventricular septal defect: a case report

Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital abnormal cardiac defect involving the pulmonary veins draining into the right atrium (RA) directly or indirectly by venous connection.Ninety percent of PAPVCs are accompanied by atrial septal defect (ASD).To our knowledge, there is no previous report of PAPVC with ventricular
