Mycoplasma Penetrans

The focus was on the 46-kDa protein that is present in M. penetrans strain HF-2 but not in the type strain, GTU. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Intravenous Drugs

    Abstract Antibodies to Mycoplasma penetrans were found at an unusually high frequency in male homosexuals with AIDS (55 of 149; 37%) and in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected asymptomatic homosexuals (13 of 49; 26.5%) but not in intravenous drug [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pathologist

    After the double staining with lead and uranium, sections were examined under transmission electron microscope and photographed by a senior pathologist. [doi.org]

  • Respiratory Distress

    Three days before hospital admission, she became ill with respiratory distress, generalized weakness, anorexia, and inability to walk. [doi.org]

  • Pertussis

    Here, we describe a 78-kDa protein from M. penetrans, designated MYPE9110, that exhibits sequence similarity to known ADP-ribosyltransferases (ADPRTs) such as Bordetella pertussis pertussis toxin and Mycoplasma pneumoniae community-acquired respiratory [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypertension

    On admission to the hospital (day 1), physical examination showed severe pallor, a swollen cervical lymph node, slight edema of both legs, tachycardia, and no hypertension. [doi.org]

  • Bordetella Pertussis

    Here, we describe a 78-kDa protein from M. penetrans, designated MYPE9110, that exhibits sequence similarity to known ADP-ribosyltransferases (ADPRTs) such as Bordetella pertussis pertussis toxin and Mycoplasma pneumoniae community-acquired respiratory [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Staphylococcus Aureus

    The 46-kDa protein band was excised from the gel and treated with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany). [doi.org]

  • Giardia Lamblia

  • Pseudomonas

    (D) Topology-based sequence alignment of ADI from Mycomplasma penetrans, Mycoplasma arginini and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [doi.org]

In addition, proteinase K treatment of the M. penetrans cells resulted in removal of the capsule, suggesting that polypeptides may contribute in anchoring it to the membrane or in its stability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On day 3, the antibiotic treatment was changed to ceftazidime (1 gm q8h i.v.). [doi.org]

There have also been cases of malignant pleural effusion, when patients exhibited chronic M. penetrans infection with various immunodeficiencies (such as HIV infections or anticancer treatment). [en.wikipedia.org]

Mycoplasma penetrans, a rare bacterium so far only found in HIV-infected persons, was isolated in the blood and throat of a non-HIV-infected patient with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (whose etiology and pathogenesis are unknown). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The analysis of the results will allow to decide on algorithms to be used for the etiologic diagnosis of CAP. [uantwerpen.be]

One application of multiplex PCR is to increase the ability of clinicians to determine the causative agent in diseases with an unknown etiology such as CFS, FMS, RA, and GWS. [thearthritiscenter.com]

M. penetrans is apparently transmitted sexually through homosexual activity and is epidemiologically linked to formation of KS in homosexual men with AIDS. Parallel tests with M. genitalium revealed no similar link to KS in the same study sample. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A marked decrease in the extent of vacuolation was observed when peroxide accumulation was partially prevented by alpha-tocopherol. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hence, more attention should be paid to prevention and treatment of Mpe infection in patients with immunodeficiency. [doi.org]
