Abstract
The study was aimed at comparing the efficacy of disinfection of root canals with periapical radiolucencies when treated with either antibiotics/steroid medicaments (Ledermix or Septomixine) or a calcium hydroxide paste (Calasept). Microbiological samples were taken before and after two-visit endodo...

Abstract
We found that adenosine or 5'-AMP suppressed the production of tyrocidine with half-maximum inhibition at 100- 300 03BCM. This inhibition was specific to the production of tyrocidine since neither adenosine nor 5'-AMP showed any effect on bacterial growth. Cyclic nucleotides had no effect. These res...

Abstract
The treatment groups were comparable at baseline. During randomized treatment, the radius of the lesions was reduced at an average of 0.55 +/- 0.31 mm/day (mean +/- SD) for tyrothricin and 0.47 +/- 0.30 mm/day for placebo (p = 0.016; one-sided; intention-to-treat data set). The wound index decreased...

Abstract
Tyrothricin, a polypeptide antibiotic, is active against yeast cells. Tyrothricin was rapidly fungicidal towards Candida albicans. Concentration of four times the minimum inhibitory (25 mg l-1) reduced the yeast numbers by more than 3 log10 within 1 h. Similar results were obtained in a flow cytomet...

Abstract
We identified the promoter for the B. brevis structural gene (tycA) for tyrocidine synthetase I, the enzyme catalyzing the first step in tyrocidine biosynthesis, and studied its regulation in cells of B. brevis and Bacillus subtilis. Transcription from the tycA promoter was induced at the end of the...

Abstract
Tyrocidine, a peptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus brevis (ATCC 8185), relaxes superhelical DNA in a biphasic manner and induces 'packaging' of the DNA at higher concentrations. This was concluded from studies using the sensitive 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen photobinding technique [Sinden, R. R., Car...

Abstract
Mutants of Bacillus brevis ATCC 8185 were isolated which were unable to produce detectable amounts of either tyrocidine or linear gramicidin, or both peptide antibiotics. Tyrocidine-negative mutants (BM5, BM21, BM44) sporulated normally. Gramicidin-negative mutants (BM2, BM24) were oligosporogenous,...

Abstract
Salivary levels and total salivary recovery of gramicidin were determined by high performance liquid chromatography in healthy volunteers after administration of a tyrothricin lozenge and a tyrothricin gargle/mouth-wash. Average peak values of gramicidin after sucking the lozenge were 37.5 mg/l and...

Abstract
815 recent clinical isolates of different species representing pathogenic or saprophytic constituents of human microbial flora were submitted to agar dilution tests. In concentrations above 64 micrograms/ml tyrothricin is in general equally as gramicidin or slightly more effective whereas below 8 mi...

Abstract
This paper presents evidence that the two peptide antibiotics tyrocidine and linear gramicidin, produced by Bacillus brevis ATCC 8185, are required for the induction of sporulation in the producer organism. When tyrocidine synthesis was specifically blocked with 2-amino-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoic a...

Abstract
These results provide direct evidence for a role of tyrocidine in sporulation of B. brevis and suggest that the action of the peptide antibiotic may involve the control of transcription. Such a notion is supported by earlier studies on the effects of tyrocidine and linear gramicidin on purified RNA...

Abstract
We used one analog of gramicidin S and two of tyrocidine A to study the relationship between peptide structure and antibacterial action as seen in inhibiting active transport and in vitro transcription and in delaying spore outgrowth. The data showed that [Ser2,2']-gramicidin S, in which the two orn...

Abstract
The peptide antibiotic tyrocidine which is produced by Bacillus brevis and is probably involved in sporogenesis, unwinds superhelical plasmids in vitro at low peptide: DNA ratios, as found by gel electrophoresis. At higher peptide concentrations, the DNA is packed tightly leading to apparent nucleas...

Abstract
Tyrocidine A (TA) is an antibiotic cyclic decapeptide with the sequence of cyclo (-L-Val1-L-Orn2-L-Leu3-D-Phe4-L-Pro5-L-Phe6-D-Phe7-L-Asn8-L-Gln9-L-Tyr10-). Gramicidin S (GS) regarded as a homolog of TA is also a cyclic decapeptide with the sequence of cyclo (-L-Val1-L-Orn2-L-Leu3-D-Phe4-L-Pro5-L-Va...

I beta-turn/ type II' beta-turn/ approximately antiparallel beta-pleated sheet conformation of tyrocidine A in solution and the NOEs, cross-relaxation parameters, and interproton distances serve as distinguishing criteria for beta-turn and beta-pleated sheet conformations. It should be borne in mind...
