Metronidazole and Eugenol Hybrids as an Alternative Against Multidrug‐Resistant Bacteria

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 39, 20 October 2026.
Structures of the synthesized hybrid compounds AC1–AC8. Figure adapted from Pelozo et al. ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to human and animal health, since several bacterial species have developed different forms of resistance. Therefore, it is essential to seek effective methods to combat bacterial resistance. Research indicates that

Blood Biomarkers of Helicobacter pylori‐Infected Chronic Gastritis in Active Versus Stable Phases: A Clinical Indicator Analysis Combined With Proteomic and Metabolomic Investigations

iMetaMed, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
Combining clinical data with serum proteomics and metabolomics, the HGB–CAPZB–acetic acid model was developed as a potential diagnostic index to distinguish the active and stable stages of Helicobacter pylori‐infected chronic gastritis, and the related mechanism was explored through multi‐omics.

Trogocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica Mediates Acquisition and Display of Human Cell Membrane Proteins and Evasion of Lysis by Human Serum

mBio, 2019
We previously showed that Entamoeba histolytica kills human cells through a mechanism that we termed trogocytosis (“trogo-” means “nibble”), due to its resemblance to trogocytosis in other organisms. In microbial eukaryotes like E.
