Synovial Fluid‐derived Micrococcus Luteus G18 Exacerbates Osteoarthritis Progression by Promoting Chondrocyte Degradation via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1 Signaling Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditionally considered sterile, the articular cavity is now recognized to harbor microbial communities influencing osteoarthritis (OA). Integrating 16S rRNA sequencing and culturomics, Micrococcus luteus is enriched in advanced OA. Notably, M. luteus G18 exacerbates cartilage degeneration via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1‐mediated ECM disruption, revealing intra ...

Action of Betulinic Acid in the Inhibition of Efflux Pump NorA in Staphylococcus aureus Strains: In Vitro and In Silico Approaches

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance poses a serious challenge to public health, particularly in the case of Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram‐positive bacterium that employs multiple resistance mechanisms, including efflux pumps such as NorA, which extrude antimicrobial compounds from the cell and reduce antibiotic efficacy. Therefore, the search for substances

Pulmonic valve infective endocarditis from staph lugdunensis

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Pulmonic valve endocarditis is an extremely rare entity. Only 1.1% of all cases of all infective endocarditis affect the pulmonic valve. Furthermore, it is even more uncommon for such a disease process to occur in a young and healthy individual without ...

Endomyocardial Fibrosis Associated With Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Management Insights From a Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilic disorders, characterized by apical subendocardial fibrosis and thrombus formation. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive, noninvasive evaluation, enabling diagnosis, assessment of disease activity, and guidance of therapy.

Murine cytomegalovirus genomic material in marrow cells; relation to altered leukocyte counts during sublethal infection of mice [PDF]

, 1987
To investigate infection of hematopoietic cells by murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), we used in situ hybridization to detect MCMV genomic material in marrow cells during sublethal infection of three-week-old mice.
