Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Non‐thermal plasma decontamination of microbes: a state of the art
Biotechnology Progress, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Microbial decontamination is a critical concern in various sectors, from healthcare to food processing. Traditional decontamination methods, while effective to a degree, present limitations in terms of environmental impact, efficiency, and potential harm to the target material. This review investigates the emerging realm of non‐thermal plasma (

Genome signatures, self-organizing maps and higher order phylogenies: a parametric analysis [PDF]
, 2007 Genome signatures are data vectors derived from the compositional statistics of DNA. The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network method for the conceptualisation of relationships within complex data, such as genome signatures.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.The chemical composition and the in vitro synergistic antimicrobial effects of four Satureja essential oils were investigated. Essential oils from Satureja montana and S. hortensis displayed strong antimicrobial effects, whereas S. calamintha and S. alpina exhibited relatively weaker antimicrobial activity.

Properties of Staphylococcus Phage UC-18: A Comparison with the International Phage Series.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1966 SummaryPhage UC-18 was shown to have a latent period of 35 minutes and a burst size of 7 particles per cell. The phage had an average buoyant density of 1.508 g/cm3 and on electron microscopic examination the head was found to have a regular hexagonal silhouette (60 mμ in diameter) with a tail (165 mμ in length) terminating in a knob-like baseplate ...

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Challenging packaging limits and infectivity of phage λ [PDF]
, 2011 The terminase motors of bacteriophages have been shown to be among the strongest active machines in the biomolecular world, being able to package several tens of kilobase pairs of viral genome into a capsid within minutes. Yet these motors are hindered at the end of the packaging process by the progressive build-up of a force resisting packaging ...
