摘要:
A method of enrichment and isolation of urease producing organisms from a contaminated specimen by first homogenizing the contaminated specimen in water, then introducing the homogenized contaminated specimen into a solution of urea in an acid, wherein some of the organisms are killed by the acidic medium and remaining organisms are protected from acid attack by creating a protective ammonia by breaking down the urea, and plating the remaining organisms onto a medium which contains antibiotics inhibitory to some of the remaining organisms, but not inhibitory to organisms to be isolated.
摘要:
Helicobacter based preparations comprising a pharmacologically active molecule of interest are disclosed, as well as methods of preparing and using said preparations. In particular, Helicobacter pylori vectors, vector plasmids and recombinant cells that include a sequence encoding a pharmacologically active molecule of interest useful in therapeutic treatments and/or vaccination against disease are provided. Delivery of the pharamacologically active molecules is provided at the mucosal surface, such as the gastric mucosa or nasal membranes, to provide effective and continuous delivery of a pharmacologically active agent. Vectors and shuttle vector constructs are also provided.
摘要:
A system and method for detecting bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a first composition separated from a second composition. The first composition contains urea in powdered form. The second composition, on the other hand, contains an indicator. A biopsy of a gastric sample is first contacted with the first composition and then placed in the second composition. The second composition indicates the presence of an enzyme that, in turn, indicates the presence of bacteria. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, a biopsy of a gastric sample is contacted with a single composition. The composition contains urea in a powdered form combined with a dry indicator. Besides urea and a dry indicator, the composition can also contain an anti-caking agent.
摘要:
Method for the treatment of human and lower animals having an infectious gastrointestinal disorder, comprising the step of administering from about 50 to about 5000 milligrams of bismuth to said subject, per day, for from 3 to 56 days. Preferred processes also include a step for performing a diagnostic step on the subject for detection of campylobacter-like organism infection of the subject.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a means of controlling infection persistence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). In particular, the present invention relates to an isolated, genetically modified Helicobacter pylori comprising a functional urease, wherein the contiguous amino acid sequence between amino acid 529 and amino acid 555 of SEQ ID NO:1 is altered to produce said modified Helicobacter pylori which is unable to establish or maintain a persistent infection.

摘要:
The present invention relates to synthetic operons. In particular, the present invention relates to a synthetic operon for integration into a bacterial chromosome of a bacterium comprising a promoter operably-linked to at least two genes, wherein at least one gene is a gene of interest and at least one gene is a gene essential to said bacterium.

Helicobacter based preparations comprising a pharmacologically active molecule of interest are disclosed, as well as methods of preparing and using said preparations. In particular, Helicobacter pylori vectors, vector plasmids and recombinant cells that include a sequence encoding a pharmacologically active molecule of interest useful in therapeutic treatments and/or vaccination against disease are provided. Delivery of the pharamacologically active molecules is provided at the mucosal surface, such as the gastric mucosa or nasal membranes, to provide effective and continuous delivery of a pharmacologically active agent. In some embodiments, the Helicobacter provides exposure of a desired molecule of interest though the surface of the Helicobacter, providing exposure of the antigen to the host at the gastric mucosa. Live Helicobacter pylori vaccines are also provided. Vectors and shuttle vector constructs of the Helicobacter are also disclosed.

摘要:
Methods for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders in human or lower animal subjects comprising the steps of administering to said subject a safe and effective amount of urea and analyzing the breath of said subject for the presence of carbon dioxide or ammonia products of the hydrolysis of said urea, wherein the presence of said hydrolysis products is a positive indication of a gastrointestinal disorder in said subject. Preferably the administered urea contains isotope-labelled nitrogen or carbon.
