Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

A framework for identifying the recent origins of mobile antibiotic resistance genes

Communications Biology, 2021
Ebmeyer and colleagues developed a genomic framework for identification and scrutiny of the origins of antibiotic resistance genes. Using data scoured from the literature and publicly available genomes, their results indicate that only 81% of previously ...

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Horseweed (Marestail) Resistance [PDF]

, 2018
Horseweed has documented resistance to EPSPS inhibitors, PSII inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, and PSI inhibitor (Heap, 2018). Glyphosate resistant horseweed moves the herbicide into a vacuole preventing the herbicide from damaging the plant (Ge, 2010).

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and its impact on veterinary and human medicine [PDF]

, 2016
Background Antimicrobial resistance has become a major challenge in veterinary medicine, particularly in the context of bacterial pathogens that play a role in both humans and animals.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Use of a national repository of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra enables fast detection of silent outbreaks and prevention of spread of new antibiotic-resistant sequence types

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Background The reference microbiology laboratory of Israel’s National Institute for Antibiotic Resistance and Infection Control has established a national repository of isolates analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and their spectra.

Integrating whole-genome sequencing within the National Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program in the Philippines

Nature Communications, 2020
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can support drug resistance surveillance, but is rare in low- and middle-income countries. Here, the authors integrate WGS within the national antimicrobial resistance surveillance program in the Philippines and conduct a ...

Identification of molecular markers associated to new sources of resistance to the root-knot nematode in cotton : S02T04 [PDF]

, 2013
The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is a major constraint in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in numerous countries. Control of RKN has been hampered by the lack of options for crop rotation and even more, by the lack of high ...
