In order to ensure a proper functioning of cell replication and proteins and nucleic acids synthesis processes, folate metabolism rate is also increased in these cases. For this reason, folic acid antagonists have been used since their discovery to treat different kinds of microbial infections, taking advantage of this metabolic difference when compared with human cells. However, resistances to these compounds have emerged since then and only combined therapies are currently used in clinic. In addition, some of these compounds have been found to have an immunomodulatory behavior that allows clinicians using them as anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an updated state-of-the-art on the use of antifolates as antibacterial and immunomodulating agents in the clinical setting, as well as to present their action mechanisms and currently investigated biomedical applications. Keywords: folic acid antagonists; antifolates; antibiotics; antibacterials; immunomodulation; sulfonamides; antimalarial 1.

  • History of the Department of Microbiology 1868 – 2009
    June 2015 HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY 1868 – 2009 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1 A HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY 1868 – 2009 This 141 year history of the Department of Microbiology includes an article (Chapter 1), written and published in 1959 by the Department, which covers the period 1868 to 1959. I joined the Department in 1953, and my recounting of the Department’s history includes personal observations as well as anecdotes told to me by H. O. Halvorson and others. Later I realized what a unique experience it had been to join a first-class department, and I resolved to play a role in maintaining its research stature.

The gene mutated in BS, BLM, encodes a RecQ-like ATP-dependent 3’-to-5’ helicase that presumably functions in some types of DNA transactions. As the absence of BLM is associated with excessive recombination, in vitro experiments have tested the ability of BLM to suppress recombination and/or resolve recombination intermediates. In vitro, BLM promotes branch migration of Holliday junctions, resolves D-loops and unwinds G-quadruplex DNA. A function for BLM in maintaining telomeres is suggested by the latter, since D- loops and perhaps G-quadruplex structures are thought to be present at telomeres. In the present study, the association of BLM with telomeres was investigated.
