Association between Renal Failure and Mannitol among Patients Who Have Acute Cerebral Infarction with Cerebral Edema [PDF]
Journal of Neurocritical Care, 2016 Background Renal failure is one of the most common side effects of mannitol. However, very little is known regarding the cause, incidence, risk factors, and outcome of mannitol-induced renal failure.

Mannitol metabolism during pathogenic fungal-host interactions under stressed conditions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Numerous plants and fungi produce mannitol, which may serve as an osmolyte or metabolic store; furthermore, mannitol also acts as a powerful quencher of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Mannitol enhances antibiotic sensitivity of persister bacteria in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The failure of antibiotic therapies to clear Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection, the key mortality factor for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, is partly attributed to the high tolerance of P. aeruginosa biofilms.

Characterising the role of GABA and its metabolism in the wheat pathogen Stagonospora nodorum [PDF]
, 2015 A reverse genetics approach was used to investigate the role of γ-aminobutyric acid metabolism in the wheat pathogenic fungus Stagonospora nodorum. The creation of mutants lacking Sdh1, the gene encoding succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, resulted in ...
