In addition, the thick collagen ribbon structure doesn’t resemble native collagen structure in bone. The collagen fibrils in Fig. 6C and Fig. 6D showed highly similarity with the demineralized circumferential lamellar bone. Ideally, the preferable orthopedic implants should not only be able to stimulate bone cell growth but also to support the assembly of collagen monomer into native fibrils at the bone-implant interface. This in vitro model was developed to mimic the in vivo interactions between collagen and the Mg implant at the interface. It provided useful information on the molecular mechanism of such an interaction that will influence the fate of the implant. It may also have some limitations. For PD325901 MEK inhibitor example, different cell regulations and other protein interactions were neglected. Other types of bone cells and non-collagenous proteins also play important roles in collagen assembly. Therefore, more future studies are needed to address these factors. Additionally, one interesting topic for next step could be to investigate how mineralization happens around the interfaces. When antibacterial quinolones were first introduced into clinical practice, it was thought that resistance would be slow to appear and that transmissible resistance was improbable. Initial reports of quinolone resistance were due to point mutations in the genes encoding their gyrase and topoisomerase targets that made them less sensitive to the drug. In 1998, Martinez-Martinez et al described a plasmid-borne gene, now termed qnrA, which conferred four-to-sixteen-fold resistance to quinolones on Enterobacteriaceae. qnrA is a pentapeptide repeat protein that protects DNA gyrase from quinolone binding and inhibition. Other qnr genes have since been reported and many can be transmitted horizontally. Transmissible quinolone resistance is also attributable to genes encoding plasmid-encoded efflux pumps, such as qepA and oqx and, in the case of ciprofloxacin, the acetylating enzyme aac-Ib-cr. While plasmid-encoded quinolone-resistance genes generally confer low-level resistance, their overall impact is great because they shield otherwise susceptible bacteria from the lethal effects of the quinolones, allowing them greater time and opportunity to evolve higher-level resistance. Until recently, reports of quinolone resistance were almost nonexistent from West Africa. However, in the past decade Nigeria has seen a very rapid increase in fluoroquinolone use, due to the recent expiration of patents protecting ciprofloxacin and perfloxacin. Introduction of ciprofloxacin into Nigerian clinics was temporally associated with a significant rise in resistance among gut commensals. Five years after fluoroquinolones were introduced in a community in Western Nigeria, Escherichia coli strains showing quinolone-specific resistance mechanisms were isolated. Although the majority of these isolates carried point-mutations in the quinolone-resistance determining regions of gyrA and parC, six strains bore the plasmid-encoded resistance gene qnrS1. In this study, we characterized a mobile element from one of these isolates in order to understand the mode of qnrS1 dissemination in Western Nigeria. Mutagenesis can be done by different strategies, such as the genetic engineering for the introduction of new information into the genome or deletion of chromosomal regions, induction of random mutations with physical and chemical mutagens, and manipulation of the sexual and parasexual cycles.
