DIALLYLTHIOSULFINATE (ALLICIN), A VOLATILE ANTIMICROBIAL FROM GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM), KILLS HUMAN LUNG PATHOGENIC BACTERIA, INCLUDING MDR STRAINS, AS A VAPOR

Garlic (Allium sativum) has potent antimicrobial activity due to allicin (diallylthiosulfinate) synthesized by enzyme catalysis in damaged garlic tissues.Allicin gives crushed garlic its characteristic odor and its volatility makes it potentially useful for combating lung infections.Allicin was synthesized (>98% pure) by oxidation of diallyl dis

The notion of subtyping has gained an important role both in theoretical and applicative domains: in lambda and concurrent calculi as well as in programming languages.The soundness and the completeness, together referred 03.2150.400 to as the preciseness of subtyping, can be considered from two different points of view: operational and denotational

Regulation of cholesterol metabolism was investigated in eight hypercholesterolemic and five normal individuals by combined intravenous pulse-labeling with radioactive cholesterol and fecal steroids balance techniques.Mean serum cholesterol concentrations ranged from 168 to 717 mg/dl.Experiments were scheduled in the following sequence: a cholester
