Abstract Diet plays an important role in the composition of gut microbiota. Emerging research suggests that bone homeostasis can also be influenced by the gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to assess possible alterations in gut microbiota in an experimental obesity model induced by a high‐fat diet (HFD) and the possible effects on parameters of ...

An enzymatic and bioinformatics study of native cutinase bacteria
Cutin is a polymer that is constructed in plants by the condensation and oxidation of fatty acids and plays a key role in the protection of plants against pathogens. Cutinase is a hydrolase enzyme that breaks down the cutin. The purpose of this study was

Members of the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) are almost ubiquitous in nature and can act as pathogens. In this study, we used a polyphasic taxonomy approach to establish the accurate taxonomic position of six strains within the ECC. Notably, the 16S

Controlling sap-sucking insect pests with recombinant endophytes expressing plant lectin [PDF]
We developed a novel pest management strategy, which uses endophytes to express anti-pest plant lectins. Fungal endophyte of Chaetomium globosum YY-11 with anti-fungi activities was isolated from rape seedlings, and bacterial endophytes of SJ-10 ...

Infections Complicating Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Study Emphasizing Graft-Related Septicemia [PDF]
In 93 recipients of 102 orthotopic liver homografts, the incidence of bacteremia or fungemia exceeded 70%. The graft itself was usually an entry site for systemic infection after both immunologic and nonimmunologic parenchymal injury, especially if there

Abstract The literature is inconsistent regarding differences in infection risk between central venous catheter types used for home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Our goal was to determine if significant differences exist in rates of infection and other complications between peripherally inserted central catheters, tunneled central venous catheters, and ...

Fibigia clypeata water extract has a slightly more substantial inhibitory effect than the methanol extract. F. clypeata decreased cell viability in three human MM cells and the MCF10A cell lines. Cyanidin 3‐rutinoside chloride has the highest binding affinity to Staphylococcus aureus MurB, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida albicans dihydrofolate ...
