Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Introduction: Staphylococci are common human commensals that acquire methicillin resistance via the mecA gene. Methicillin resistance in staphylococci from various clinical sources has been assessed using cefoxitin disc diffusion test (CDDT) and PCR ...

Absence of meca gene in methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates
African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has emerged as a serious threat to public health, causing both hospital and community-associated infections. The gold standard for MRSA detection isthe amplification of the mecA gene that codes for the production of the altered penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) responsible for classical methicillin ...

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review explains how biomaterials and nanoparticles can be used to induce or modulate tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), which are ectopic immune hubs that form in nonlymphoid tissues during chronic disease and cancer. By comparing different methods, the article highlights design principles for modeling TLSs or recapitulating specific TLS ...

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.
