Abstract
Treatment of a variety of tetracyclines (tigecycline, minocycline, tetracycline and doxycycline) with Ag(2)CO(3)/EDTA or Hg(OAc)(2) cleanly gave the 4,11a-bridged derivatives in high yields. The reactions proceeded through a novel, intramolecular Mannich cyclization of an iminium species generated b...

Abstract
We present new configurations of the tetracycline-dependent gene regulation (tet) system for Staphylococcus aureus. To provide improved and expanded modes of control, strains and plasmids were constructed for the constitutive expression of tetR or a variant allele, rev-tetR(r2). The encoded regulato...

Abstract
Increased fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR2) signaling has been proposed to be involved in acne pathogenesis and explains acne lesions in Apert syndrome and unilateral acneiform nevus associated with gain-of-function point mutations of FGFR2. If, indeed, increased FGFR2 signaling plays a ma...

Besides Chlamydia trachomatis, various microorganisms could cause non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). Recently, Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum (biovar 2) have been suggested to be other pathogens of NGU independent of C. trachomatis. Clinical findings of non-chlamydial NGU, including...
