Natural Products Inhibit Bacterial Growth and Modulate Quorum‐Sensing Systems Las and Rhl in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell communication system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which regulates the production of several virulence factors, including pyocyanin, exoproteases, and biofilm formation. Natural products (NPs) have demonstrated their ability to control QS in different bacteria. This work evaluated the antimicrobial and anti‐

Development of a Promising Bivalent Vaccine Against Klebsiella pneumoniae Based on Glycoengineered GMMA (geGMMA)

Exploration, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, with no current licensed vaccines available. This study used a mutant E. coli strain expressing exogenous polysaccharides (from K. pneumoniae) to establish glycoengineered generalized modules for membrane antigens (geGMMA) vaccine platform, which demonstrated

Urinary tract colonization is enhanced by a plasmid that regulates uropathogenic Acinetobacter baumannii chromosomal genes

Nature Communications, 2019
Multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii poses a growing threat to global health. Research on Acinetobacter pathogenesis has primarily focused on pneumonia and bloodstream infections, even though one in five A.

Acinetobacter lwoffii y anitratus [PDF]

Revista chilena de infectología, 2007
pero que termino siendo algo asi como una Escherichia coli defectuosa, anulando de esta manera la existencia del segundo genero de la tribu. Y el tercero... ya nadie recuerda su nombre. La tribu Mimae desaparecia asi, tan subitamente como habia nacido, pero De Bord era tenaz y siguio defendiendo su postura por varios anos, de modo tal, que muchos ...

Comparison between bacteremia caused by Acinetobacter pittii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2017
Patients with Acinetobacter pittii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis bacteremia have lower mortality rates than those with Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia. However, it is unknown whether these organisms differ in outcomes of bacteremic patients. We conducted this study to answer this question.In this retrospective study conducted at a teaching hospital

Almond Polysaccharide Ameliorates DSS‐Induced Ulcerative Colitis in Mice by Restoring Intestinal Barrier Function and Modulating Gut Microbiota and SCFAs Metabolism

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
This study shows that almond polysaccharide AP1 relieves DSS‐induced UC in mice by restoring the mucosal barrier, suppressing inflammation, and modulating gut microbiota and SCFA metabolism. ABSTRACT The development of new therapeutic strategies for ulcerative colitis (UC) requires the targeting of multiple pathogenic factors, including disruption of ...
