6. The Personal Living Space Cue Inventory: An Analysis and Evaluation

Author

Gosling, Samuel D., Craik, Kenneth H., and Martin, Nicholas R.

Abstract

The authors introduce the Personal Living Space Cue Inventory (PLSCI), designed to document comprehensively features of personal living spaces (PLSs); common examples of PLSs include rooms in family households, dormitories, or residential centers. The article describes the PLSCI's development and provides evidence for its reliability and sensitivity. Next, the authors employ case-study comparisons to illustrate and evaluate the perspectives provided by global descriptors and specific-content codings. It is concluded that global ratings and specific codings provide complementary yet distinct characterizations of PLSs.

Developed for administrators, teachers, resource professionals, and parents, this skills-based book will help those as a unified team to design, review, and modify IEPs for children with special education needs. Written in a user-friendly and conversational style, this much-needed book is supplemented with checklists, outlines, diagrams, and specific examples to make the complex simple. Incorporating the feedback and suggestions of hundreds of special education professionals, this book will be of invaluable help to team members working together to create the best possible IEPs for the children.

35. Tannic Acid Inhibits Staphylococcus aureusSurface Colonization in an IsaA-Dependent Manner

Author

Payne, David E., Martin, Nicholas R., Parzych, Katherine R., Rickard, Alex H., Underwood, Adam, and Boles, Blaise R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureusis a human commensal and pathogen that is capable of forming biofilms on a variety of host tissues and implanted medical devices. Biofilm-associated infections resist antimicrobial chemotherapy and attack from the host immune system, making these infections particularly difficult to treat. In order to gain insight into environmental conditions that influence S. aureusbiofilm development, we screened a library of small molecules for the ability to inhibit S. aureusbiofilm formation. This led to the finding that the polyphenolic compound tannic acid inhibits S. aureusbiofilm formation in multiple biofilm models without inhibiting bacterial growth. We present evidence that tannic acid inhibits S. aureusbiofilm formation via a mechanism dependent upon the putative transglycosylase IsaA. Tannic acid did not inhibit biofilm formation of an isaAmutant. Overexpression of wild-type IsaA inhibited biofilm formation, whereas overexpression of a catalytically dead IsaA had no effect. Tannin-containing drinks like tea have been found to reduce methicillin-resistant S. aureusnasal colonization. We found that black tea inhibited S. aureusbiofilm development and that an isaAmutant resisted this inhibition. Antibiofilm activity was eliminated from tea when milk was added to precipitate the tannic acid. Finally, we developed a rodent model for S. aureusthroat colonization and found that tea consumption reduced S. aureusthroat colonization via an isaA-dependent mechanism. These findings provide insight into a molecular mechanism by which commonly consumed polyphenolic compounds, such as tannins, influence S. aureussurface colonization.
