The Global Carbon Metabolism Regulator Crc Is a Component of a Signal Transduction Pathway Required for Biofilm Development by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2000-01)
The transition from a planktonic (free-swimming) existence to growth attached to a surface in a biofilm occurs in response to environmental factors, including the availability of nutrients. We show that the catabolite ...
The Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal Regulates rhl Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2000-05)
The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses intercellular signals to control the density-dependent expression of many virulence factors. The las and rhl quorum-sensing systems function, respectively, through the ...
Inducement of Fluent Speech in Persons Who Stutter Via Visual Choral Speech
(East Carolina University, 2000)
A novel phenomenon of fluency enhancement via visual gestures of speech in the absence of traditional auditory feedback is reported herein. The effect on visual choral speech on stuttering frequency was investigated. Ten ...
Invasion and Intracellular Survival of Burkholderia cepacia
(East Carolina University, 2000-01)
Burkholderia cepacia has emerged as an important pulmonary pathogen in immunocompromised patients
and in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Little is known about the virulence factors and pathogenesis of B.
cepacia, ...
The Redox-Sensitive Transcriptional Activator OxyR Regulates the Peroxide Response Regulon in the Obligate Anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis
(East Carolina University, 2000-09)
The peroxide response-inducible genes ahpCF, dps, and katB in the obligate anaerobe Bacteroides fragilis are
controlled by the redox-sensitive transcriptional activator OxyR. This is the first functional oxidative ...
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa devB/SOL Homolog, pgl, Is a Member of the hex Regulon and Encodes 6-Phosphogluconolactonase
(East Carolina University, 2000-07)
A cyclic version of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway is used by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to metabolize carbohydrates. Genes encoding the enzymes that catabolize intracellular glucose to pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate ...

(East Carolina University, 2000-03)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality and concordance of methodologic criteria in abstracts versus articles regarding the diagnosis of trichomoniasis.
STUDY DESIGN: Survey of published literature.
DATA SOURCES: ...
Neuropeptide Y analogues, compositions and methods of lowering blood pressure
(2000-06-13)
Neuropeptide Y analogues, and their compositions are effective for lower blood pressure.
Methods and devices for treating stuttering problems
(2000-12-18)
Methods, devices, and computer program products display visual choral speech to a patient who stutters or has a speech impediment or impairment as a visual stimulus for the patient to enhance the fluency of the patient. ...
Low adenosine anti-sense oligonucleotide agent, composition, kit and treatments
(2000-02-24)
A composition comprises a nucleic acid comprising an oligo anti-sense to a target such as polypeptide(s) associated with an ailment afflicting lung airways, genes and mRNAs encoding them, genomic and mRNA flanking regions, ...
