Linezolid decreases Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation by affecting the IcaA and IcaB proteins [PDF]
Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2022 Abstract Background The ica gene of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) plays a vital role in its growth and biofilm formation. Among them, IcaA and IcaB are critical proteins for synthesizing extracellular polysaccharides and biofilms in S. aureus. To investigate whether the formation of S.

Assessment of real-life creativity: The Inventory of Creative Activities and Achievements (ICAA). [PDF]
Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, 2018 This article introduces the Inventory of Creative Activities and Achievements (ICAA), a broad-based assessment of individual differences in real-life creativity. The ICAA provides independent scales for the frequency of engagement in everyday creative activity and the level of creative achievement across 8 creative domains. A formal test analysis based

The icaA gene in staphylococci from bovine mastitis
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2013 Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are frequently isolated from cows with mastitis. A main virulence factor of CNS is the ability to adhere and form biofilms.

Biolohichni systemyStaphylococcus aureus is one of the most significant opportunistic pathogens affecting humans and animals. A key factor in its virulence is its ability to form biofilms, which is mediated by the biosynthesis of the polysaccharide intercellular adhesin and encoded by the icaA gene.

Influence of Adhesion Force on icaA and cidA Gene Expression and Production of Matrix Components in Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2015 ABSTRACT The majority of human infections are caused by biofilms. The biofilm mode of growth enhances the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus spp. considerably, because once they adhere, staphylococci embed themselves in a protective, self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs).

Evidence for progressive neurodegeneration in iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy. [PDF]
Alzheimers DementAbstract INTRODUCTION Iatrogenic transmission of amyloid beta can cause cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the relationship between these phenotypes is unclear. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed standardized neuropsychological and neuroimaging data from 11 patients with iatrogenic CAA (iCAA).

Genetic Diversity and Epidemiological Overlap of Staphylococcus aureus at the Animal-Food-Environment-Human Interface Within a One Health Framework. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenIntegrating farm‐to‐fork and clinical surveillance, this study reveals distinct SCCmec distributions alongside shared spa types across human, animal, and food interfaces. The results of genetic diversity and epidemiological overlap underscore the critical need for coordinated One Health surveillance to monitor multi‐sectoral Staphylococcus aureus ...

icaA Is Not a Useful Diagnostic Marker for Prosthetic Joint Infection [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2004 ABSTRACT A collection of 99 staphylococcal isolates associated with prosthetic joint infection and 23 coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from noninfected arthroplasty-associated specimens were screened in order to determine whether the presence of icaA could be used to distinguish between pathogens ...
