Genomic Insights Into a Strong Biofilm‐Forming Enterococcus faecalis MTR_EFS01 Strain Isolated From a Shrimp in Bangladesh

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study characterizes a multidrug‐resistant and strong biofilm‐forming Enterococcus faecalis strain obtained from a shrimp sample in Bangladesh. ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is known for its ability to form strong biofilms and its role as an opportunistic pathogen. In this study, we screened and characterized a multidrug‐resistant (MDR) and strong

Efficacy of Essential Oil of Algrizea minor Sobral, Faria & Proença (Myrtaceae) in Combating Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Antibacterial and Virulence Modulation Studies Conducted In Vitro and In Vivo

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
This study explored the antibacterial, antivirulence, and in vivo effects of Algrizea minor essential oil (EOAM), against MRSA isolates. Chemical analysis by GC‐MS has been performed. The oil exhibited synergistic effects when combined with amoxicillin and oxacillin, inhibiting biofilm formation and reducing S. aureus‐induced hemolysis.

Severe Vasoplegic Syndrome Treated with Angiotensin II and Hemoadsorption Therapy after Cardiac Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The main pathophysiology mechanism of VS includes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to surgical trauma, release of pro‐inflammatory mediators caused by blood contact with foreign surfaces of heart‐lung machine (pump and tubing)
