Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Cross-Talk between Staphylococcus aureus and Other Staphylococcal Species via the agr Quorum Sensing System

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Staphylococci are associated with both humans and animals. While most are non-pathogenic colonizers, Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing severe infections. S.

Metabolites of bovine-associated non-aureus staphylococci influence expression of Staphylococcus aureus agr-related genes in vitro

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2021
Communications via quorum sensing (QS) between non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) and Staphylococcus (S.) aureus in the bovine mammary gland remains largely unexplored. We determined whether 34 S. chromogenes, 11 S. epidermidis, and 14 S.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

The microbiome in human skin aging

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Molecular detection and phylogenetic diversity of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from goat subclinical mastitis in Nineveh governorate [PDF]

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences
Mastitis in goats is thought to be caused mainly by Staphylococcus (S.) aureus. On the other hand, little information is known about methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in goat milk. The current research aimed to determine the occurrence of S.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Epidemiology of S. aureus Non-Susceptible to Vancomycin in Western Asia

open access: yesZanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences
Staphylococcus aureus is considered among the most severe hazardous bacteria, especially, after the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, that associated with significant levels of pathogenicity along with mortality.

Prevalence of nasal carriage of S aureus in children [PDF]

open access: yesGERMS, 2013
Asymptomatic carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is common, particularly in the anterior part of the nasal cavity. Apart from nasal and nasopharyngeal carriage, another frequent site for S aureus colonization is the skin, particularly the inguinal fold, rectum and axilla.
