Computational Screening of Approved Drugs for Inhibition of the Antibiotic Resistance Gene mecA in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Strains

BioTech, 2023
Antibiotic resistance is a critical problem that results in a high morbidity and mortality rate. The process of discovering new chemotherapy and antibiotics is challenging, expensive, and time-consuming, with only a few getting approved for clinical use.

Functional Roles of Adenosine A2B and A3 Receptor Subtypes in the Bladder of Male Rats With A2B Receptor Deletion or Bladder Outlet Obstruction

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the adenosine receptor (AR) mechanism underlying bladder outlet obstruction (BOO)‐related bladder dysfunction, we examined the expression level of AR subtypes in bladder tissues, and the effects of AR subtypes A2B & A3 modulation on bladder activity using male BOO rats, and Dahl rats with A2B receptor deletion.

Absence of the mecC gene in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various clinical samples: The first multi-centered study in Turkey

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2019
Background: mecA is a predefined gene causing methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates; however, it has been shown that some methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains do not carry this gene. Recently, in isolates found to
