Early detection of cerebrospinal fluid/serum glucose ratio: A promising value for mortality prognosis in patients with acute bacterial meningitis

Journal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
This study revealed that a glucometer‐based measurement significantly improved the turnaround time required for CSF/serum glucose ratio measurement compared to conventional laboratory tests, which could be considered a reliable aid to the mortality prognosis.

Evaluation of differences in S. pneumoniae colonization among children with and without clinically diagnosed asthma/wheeze [PDF]

, 2017
Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization is the nasopharynx is common in young children. Colonization of S. pneumoniae is a necessary precursor for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children less ...

Monocytes regulate the mechanism of T-cell death by inducing Fas-mediated apoptosis during bacterial infection. [PDF]

, 2012
Monocytes and T-cells are critical to the host response to acute bacterial infection but monocytes are primarily viewed as amplifying the inflammatory signal.

A distinct sortase SrtB anchors and processes a streptococcal adhesin AbpA with a novel structural property. [PDF]

, 2016
Surface display of proteins by sortases in Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for bacterial fitness and virulence. We found a unique gene locus encoding an amylase-binding adhesin AbpA and a sortase B in oral streptococci.

Gramicidin and chlorhexidine encapsulated in bicontinuous microemulsions: Antimicrobial activity performance and their impact on self‐assembly

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
Interaction of gramicidin D (gD) and chlorhexidine (CH) with the surfactant monolayers of bicontinuous microemulsions. Abstract The utility of bicontinuous microemulsions (BMEs) as carriers of the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) gramicidin D and antiseptic chlorhexidine was investigated for possible topical delivery to chronic wounds.

Exploring the antimicrobial activity of fermented and non‐fermented cocoa bean shell extracts through metabolomics analysis and synergistic studies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa bean shell (CBS) extracts have emerged as a promising source of antimicrobial compounds. However, the bioactive compounds responsible for their antimicrobial activity have not been studied sufficiently. This study analyzed the antimicrobial properties of 12 extracts from fermented and non‐fermented CBS, employing solvent and ...
