Dissemination of IncI plasmid encoding < em > bla < /em > < sub > CTX-M-1 < /sub > is not hampered by its fitness cost in the pig's gut
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2023 Sep 13:e0011123. doi: 10.1128/aac.00111-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiresistance plasmids belonging to the IncI incompatibility group have become one of the most pervasive plasmid types in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli of animal origin. The extent of the burden imposed on the bacterial cell by these plasmids seems to modulate the emergence of "epidemic" plasmids. However, in vivo data in the natural environment of the strains are scarce. Here, we investigated the cost of a blaCTX-M-1-IncI1 epidemic plasmid in a commensal E. coli animal strain, UB12-RC...

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2023 Sep 13:e0051023. doi: 10.1128/aac.00510-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCefmetazole is active against extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBLEC) and is a potential candidate for carbapenem-sparing therapy. This multicenter, observational study included patients hospitalized for invasive urinary tract infection due to ESBLEC between March 2020 and November 2021 at 10 facilities in Japan, for whom either cefmetazole or meropenem was initiated as a definitive therapy within 96 h of culture collection and continued for at least 3 d. Outcomes included clinical and micr...

Preparation of silver nanoparticles by Osbeckia stellata aqueous extract via green synthesis approach: Characterization and assessment of their antioxidant, antidiabetic, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial properties
This study showed the spherical shape and crystalline nature of NPs. Zeta potential was used to determine the stability of Ag NPs. Biosynthesized Ag NPs showed significantly potent antioxidant, antidiabetic, and cytotoxicity activity. Ag NPs also showed effectiveness against gram-positive (Escherichia coli) and gram-negative (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria in the antimicrobial activity study. The result concluded that these Ag NPs might be used in biomedical and pharmacological fields.

Metronidazole-Loaded Camphor-Based In Situ Forming Matrix for Periodontitis Treatment
AAPS PharmSciTech. 2023 Sep 12;24(7):185. doi: 10.1208/s12249-023-02640-6.ABSTRACTPeriodontitis is a widespread oral health problem caused by bacterial infections that lead to tooth loss and other systemic diseases. The aim of this study was to provide an alternative treatment for periodontitis by developing a metronidazole-loaded in situ forming matrix (ISM) using camphor as its matrix former. Five-percent w/w metronidazole dissolved in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) with varying concentrations of camphor (30-50% w/w) and triacetin (0-25% w/w) were used. The physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activities of formulati...

Phosphatase A1 accessory protein PlaS from Serratia marcescens controls cell membrane permeability, fluidity, hydrophobicity, and fatty acid composition in Escherichia coli BL21
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Sep 10:126776. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126776. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhospholipase A1 (PlaA) plays a pivotal role in diverse applications within the food and biochemical medical industries. Herein, we investigate the impact of the accessory protein encoded by plaS from Serratia marcescens on PlaA activity in Escherichia coli. Notably, PlaS demonstrates the ability to enhance PlaA activity while concurrently exhibiting inhibitory effects on the growth of E. coli BL21 (DE3). Our study revolves around probing the inhibitory action of PlaS on E. coli BL21 (DE3). PlaS exhibits a propensity...

Characterization of bifunctional alginate lyase Aly644 and antimicrobial activity of enzymatic hydrolysates
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1007/s00253-023-12745-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn alginate lyase gene aly644 encoding a member of polysaccharide lyase family 6 was obtained from a metagenome of Antarctic macroalgae-associated microbes. The gene was expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant protein was purified using a Ni-NTA His Tag Kit. With sodium alginate as the substrate, recombinant Aly644 exhibited an optimum reaction temperature of 50°C and an optimum reaction pH of 7.0. The Vmax and Km values of Aly644 toward sodium alginate were 112.36 mg/mL·min and 16.75 mg/mL, re...

Decoding SEC24 Homolog D, COPII coat complex component accuracy as a signature gene in three human cancers
In this study, we conducted an extensive investigation of SEC24D, aiming to elucidate its potential role and underlying mechanisms across multiple human tumors. Our analysis relied on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. To validate our findings, we employed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), targeted bisulfite sequencing (bisulfite-seq) molecular techniques. Our findings revealed elevated mRNA (Messenger RNA) and protein levels of SEC24D in different tumor tissues. However, the up-regulation of SEC24D was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (OS), metastasis, and v...
