Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2017
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

Foodborne Microbial Communities as Potential Reservoirs of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes for Pathogens: A Critical Review of the Recent Literature

Microorganisms, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global and increasing threat to human health. Several genetic determinants of AMR are found in environmental reservoirs, including bacteria naturally associated with widely consumed fermented foods.

Conjugation of soy protein isolate (SPI) with pectin by ultrasound treatment

, 2020
The Maillard reaction in the aqueous system with and without ultrasound treatment was used to prepare conjugates between soy protein isolate (SPI) and citrus pectin (CP)/apple pectin (AP). Ultrasound treatment at a power of 450 W and a temperature of 70 °

Reducing Antigenicity and Improving Antioxidant Capacity of β-Lactoglobulin through Covalent Interaction with Six Flavonoids

Foods, 2023
β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a pivotal nutritional and functional protein. However, its application is limited by its antigenicity and susceptibility to oxidation.

Structural and Biochemical Analysis of OrfG: The VirB8-like Component of the Conjugative Type IV Secretion System of ICESt3 From Streptococcus thermophilus

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Conjugative transfer is a major threat to global health since it contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors among commensal and pathogenic bacteria.

Antibody-drug conjugates: recent advances in conjugation and linker chemistries

Protein & Cell, 2016
The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), a humanized or human monoclonal antibody conjugated with highly cytotoxic small molecules (payloads) through chemical linkers, is a novel therapeutic format and has great potential to make a paradigm shift in cancer ...

Capture of mobile genetic elements following intercellular conjugation promotes the production of ST11-KL64 CR-hvKP

Microbiology Spectrum
Sequence type (ST)11 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) can cause life-threatening infections and is therefore of global concern.

Real holomorphic curves and invariant global surfaces of section [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper we prove that a dynamically convex starshaped hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$ which is invariant under complex conjugation admits a global surface of section which is invariant under conjugation as well.

Variation on a theme; an overview of the Tn916 / Tn1545 family of mobile genetic elements in the oral and nasopharyngeal streptococci.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The oral and nasopharyngeal streptococci are a major part of the normal microbiota in humans. Most human associated streptococci are considered commensals however a small number of them are pathogenic, causing a wide range of diseases including oral ...
