Dicentrine, an aporphine alkaloid, exhibits potent in vitro antileishmanial activity against Leishmania species with high selectivity and low macrophage cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the compound triggers parasite death possibly by inducing mitochondrial membrane disruption and oxidative stress.

Inactivation of the Burkholderia Toxin Malleicyprol by Enzymatic Cyclopropanol Ring Opening
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are dangerous pathogens that cause severe diseases with high mortality rates. Their virulence relies in part on malleicyprols, potent toxins containing a highly reactive cyclopropanol group. In this study, we identify BurK, a heme‐dependent oxidoreductase that neutralizes malleicyprols by enzymatically ...

Melioidosis in the head-and-neck region
Burkholderia pseudomallei, an environmental saprophyte, causes an infection that results in melioidosis. A high case-fatality rate is linked to it. Melioidosis is becoming an increasingly global infection. It can present a wide spectrum of manifestations

Dyspnoea, cough and weight loss initially suggested thoracic malignancy. CT thorax–abdomen demonstrated a large right subcapsular pyogenic liver abscess with contiguous non‐fistulous transdiaphragmatic spread causing lung abscess and pleural empyema. Image‐guided liver abscess drainage and prolonged antimicrobial therapy led to sustained clinical and ...

Melioidosis in the remote Katherine region of northern Australia.
Melioidosis is endemic in the remote Katherine region of northern Australia. In a population with high rates of chronic disease, social inequities, and extreme remoteness, the impact of melioidosis is exacerbated by severe weather events and ...
