[A2144G is the main mutation in the 23S rRNA gene of Helicobacter pylori associated with clarithromycin resistance].

To detect point mutations A2115C, A2143G/C, and A2143G in the 23S rRNA gene of Helicobacter pylori associated with resistance of the microorganism to clarithromycin, a new powerful way of analysis was used. This method involved the reaction of minisequencing followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of reaction products. In ten analyzed clarithromycin-resistant clinical isolates of H. pylori obtained in Russia, the resistance was found to be mediated only by mutation A2144G in the 23S rRNA gene.

[Neurologic complications in otitis and rhinosinusitis].

In 67 patients (32 with otitis and 35 with rhinosinusitis) otorhinosinusogenic complications were detected (cerebral abscesses, meningoencephalitides, cerebral arachnoiditides, encephalopathies, vasoautonomic forms of hypothalamic syndrome). In one patient testaceous pachymeningitis ran uncommon course with a fatal outcome.

[Histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of diffuse large cell B-cell lymphomas].

In the REAL classification, diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are grouped together. We investigated histological variants and immunohistochemical profile of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas in 53 patients. Accuracy of the diagnosis was 73.6% without immunohistochemistry. The usefulness of immunophenotyping in making the correct diagnosis depended on a specific histological variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Variants with polymorphic and anaplastic morphology or massive reactive component have been diagnosed by routine histological methods with poor validity.

[Cellulose decomposition under nitrogen deficiency by bacteria isolated from the intestines of phytophagous vertebrates].

A nitrogen-fixing strain identified as Klebsiella pneumonia 402-2 and two endoglucanase-synthesizing Bacillus strains were isolated from the intestines of phytophagous animals. One of the Bacillus strains was identified as Bacillus subtilis GL. Klebsiella pneumoniae 402-2 increased the endoglucanase activity of both Bacillus strains in mixed cultures. The data on the taxonomic position of strains 402-2 and GL and on the nitrogen-fixing capacity of strain 402-2 were confirmed by sequencing and analyzing their 16S rRNA genes and by amplifying the nitrogenase gene nifH.

[A study of the mechanisms of probiotic effect of Bacillus subtilis 8130 strain].

The wild-type Bacillus subtilis strain 8130 secreted metabolites that stimulated two to three times the growth of the test cultures of lactic acid bacteria. It exhibited endoglucanase activity that depended on the composition of nutrient medium. The addition of the product of two-stage culturing of B. subtilis 8130 to the diet of pigs (0.2% of fodder weight) made it possible to increase the daily weight gain by 19% and decrease the consumption of mixed fodder by 10%. Digestion of protein, fat, and other organic compounds increased by 3-4% and cellulose by 12%. It was shown that B. subtilis 8130 is a probiotic with targeted action stimulating digestion (primarily the digestion of cellulose). The enrichment of a dry-beer pellet with the product of solid-phase fermentation by bacillus (1 x 10(8) cells per gram dry pellet) allowed the pellet to entered into the diet of a calf (6% of the weight of fodder with probiotic), causing additional weight gain by 12% and a 10% economy of fodder consumption.
