Prevalence of mecC Gene in MRSA at A Tertiary Hospital in Medan, Indonesia

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is resistant to β-lactam antibiotics owing to the presence of mecA and mecC resistance genes. Resistance genes in MRSA are carried by a genetic component named staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec ...

Multi-dimensional genomic analysis of myoepithelial carcinoma identifies prevalent oncogenic gene fusions

Nature Communications, 2017
Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a rare aggressive salivary gland cancer. Here, the authors analyze the genomic landscape of MECA and identify a high prevalence of oncogenic gene fusions, primarily PLAG1 fusions, highlighting TGFBR3-PLAG1 as a potential

High Endothelial Venules in Small Cell Lung Cancer: Prognostic Subtypes and Therapeutic Implications for Immunoradiotherapy

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine malignancy with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and current immunotherapy provides limited benefit. This highlights the need to identify microenvironmental features enabling effective immune responses.

Antibiotic Susceptibility of Staphylococcus Aureus with VanA and MecA Genes

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council
Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is an emerging antibiotic resistant bacterium responsible for various infections in human. Resistance to methicillin and vancomycin are of prime concern in S. aureus. The study aims to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Vancomycin and evaluate the existence of mecA and vanA genes ...

Prevalence of Antimicrobial Use in Small Animal Dermatology Referral Practices in the United States

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health concern driven by antimicrobial use. Dermatological conditions are common reasons for antimicrobial prescriptions in small animal practice, yet data on prescribing patterns in veterinary dermatology referral settings are lacking. Hypothesis/Objectives To characterise the frequency,

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 9, Page 3220-3231, September 2026.
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.
