[Evaluation of the operational properties and effectiveness of the use of specialized adhesive agents for fixing removable dentures in re-prosthetic patients].

Objective: The questionnaire survey of different age groups using partial and full removable dentures to assess the operational properties and effectiveness of the use of specialized adhesives for removable dentures.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 228 patients (70 men and 158 women, in the age groups 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and over 65 years). All of them had previously used partial or full removable dentures, and they applied again to replace the denture or appeared for a follow-up examination.

The genome of epsilon15, a serotype-converting, Group E1 Salmonella enterica-specific bacteriophage.

The genome sequence of the Salmonella enterica serovar Anatum-specific, serotype-converting bacteriophage epsilon15 has been completed. The nonredundant genome contains 39,671 bp and 51 putative genes. It most closely resembles the genome of phiV10, an Escherichia coli O157:H7-specific temperate phage, with which it shares 36 related genes.

The complete genomic sequence of lytic bacteriophage gh-1 infecting Pseudomonas putida--evidence for close relationship to the T7 group.

The genome of the lytic Pseudomonas putida bacteriophage gh-1 is linear double-stranded DNA containing 37,359 bp with 216-bp direct terminal repeats. Like other members of the T7 group, the gh-1 genome contains regions of high homology to T7 interspersed with nonhomologous regions that contain small open reading frames of unknown function. The genome shares 31 genes in common with other members of the T7 group, including RNA polymerase, and an additional 12 unique putative genes.
