Staphylococcus aureus COL: An Atypical Model Strain of MRSA That Exhibits Slow Growth and Antibiotic Tolerance due to a Mutation in PRPP Synthetase

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
COL is an unusual “model” strain of Staphylococcus aureus that exhibits slow growth and multidrug antibiotic tolerance. This phenotype is primarily due to a mutation in Prs, which synthesizes the core metabolite phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). Introduction of the COL Prs allele into the antibiotic‐susceptible strain Newman confers tolerance, while

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL exacerbates orthotopic allograft transplantation vasculopathy via impairment of endothelial cell function

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Germicidal potential and skin compatibility of an innovative UVC phototherapy device emitting at 234 nm

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
A phototherapy device emitting principally at 234 nm was assessed for antimicrobial efficacy against Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and evaluated for skin health hazards. Abstract Chronic wounds are a major healthcare issue affecting more than 10 million Americans each year, with a 5‐year survival similar to cancer and costing the ...
