Antimicrobial effect of some herbal medicine against infectious bacteria isolated from burn wound [PDF]

Trends in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018
Herbal compounds with antimicrobial effects are of major considerations because of increasing antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial effects of Melissa officinalis L, Plantago major L, Orobancha ...

Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense infection after skin graft and cholecystectomy in a burn patient

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018
Diagnosing skin and soft tissue infections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) can often prove difficult, leading to delays in treatment. Postoperative infections caused by RGM are increasingly recognized both within and outside the USA, but are ...

Microbial infections in burn patients [PDF]

Acute and Critical Care
Polymicrobial infections are the leading causes of complications incurred from injuries that burn patients develop. Such patients admitted to the hospital have a high risk of developing hospital-acquired infections, with longer patient stays leading to ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Bacterial isolates from burn wound infections and their antibiograms: A eight-year study

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2007
Background: Infection is an important cause of mortality in burns. Rapidly emerging nosocomial pathogens and the problem of multi-drug resistance necessitates periodic review of isolation patterns and antibiogram in the burn ward.

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Associated bacterial and fungal infections in burn wounds: Common factors, distribution in etiology, age groups, bacterial and fungal strands – Evaluation of a single burn center experience of 20 years

Burns Open
Introduction: Burn intensive care unit (BICU) patients suffer from reduced immunological competence. Often bacterial and fungal infections occur as single or associated infection of the burn site.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.
