ANTIBIOTICS and RESISTANCE to ANTIBIOTICS
, 2023 Antibiotics are natural or synthetic molecules that can inhibit the growth of bacteria (bacteriostatic) or kill some bacteria (bactericidal) (Gamboa et al, 2022). They exert a specific effect on certain structures or functions of the microorganism.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Biofilms as Promoters of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance and Tolerance
Antibiotics, 2020 Multidrug resistant bacteria are a global threat for human and animal health. However, they are only part of the problem of antibiotic failure. Another bacterial strategy that contributes to their capacity to withstand antimicrobials is the formation of ...

Towards an Ontological Representation of Resistance: The Case of MRSa [PDF]
, 2009 This paper addresses a family of issues surrounding the biological phenomenon of resistance and its representation in realist ontologies. Resistance terms from various existing ontologies are examined and found to be either overly narrow, inconsistent ...

Preparation and characterization of renal cell peptides from fetal rats for their antitumor activity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study aimed to prepare renal cells (RCs) from fetal rats which were digested by enzymes. Candidate peptides RCPs were characterized by capillary HPLC and MS and their bioactivity was predicted using peptideranker. The predicted top 10 bioactive peptides were synthesized.

Effect of tolerance on the evolution of antibiotic resistance under drug combinations
Science, 2020 Challenges of drug combinations Combinations of antibiotics are used to treat intractable infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Clinically, however, drugs tend to be used empirically, and results can be contradictory. Liu et al.

Antibiotic stewardship for staff nurses: Five Key Ways you Influence Antibiotic Use [PDF]
, 2016 Over the past decade, antibiotic resistance has increased and spread dramatically throughout the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antibiotic use is the single most important factor leading to antibiotic resistance.

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Genomic and phenotypic characterization of six multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter pittii isolates
Scientific ReportsThe Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex is a significant cause of nosocomial infections. While A. baumannii is the most common and clinically significant member globally, recent studies suggest that A.
