Dereplication tools for Rhizophora mangle extracts from different mangrove areas and their potential against Staphylococcus aureus
This study aimed to investigate the chemical profile of Rhizophora mangle leaves from fringe, basin, and transition mangrove zones and their bactericidal/bacteriostatic potential against S. aureus. R. mangle leaves were collected monthly in 2018 from litterfall in three different zones of the mangrove of Guaratiba State Reserve: fringe, basin, and transition. Extracts were prepared from the material collected in October and December for LC-HRMS/MS analysis, and dereplication was performed using a molecular library search and the classical molecular networking GNPS platform. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of t...

GSE266239 Single Cell Sequencing of Human Langerhans Cells Identifies Altered Gene Expression Profiles in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
Contributors : Sara M Tamminga ; Marlot M van der Wal ; Femke van Wijk ; Nina M van SorgeSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism :Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by dysregulated T cell immunity and skin microbiome dysbiosis with predominance of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Emerging evidence suggests a role for S. aureus in exacerbating AD skin inflammation. Interestingly, specific glycosylation of S. aureus cell wall structures amplifies skin inflammation through interaction with Langerhans cells (LCs). However, the role of LCs in AD remains poorly characterized. Here, we per...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2128: Phytochemical Characterization, Antioxidant, and Antimicrobial Activity of the Vegetative Buds from Romanian Spruce, Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.
This study aims to investigate the vegetative buds from Picea abies (spruce), naturally found in a central region of Romania, through a comprehensive analysis of the chemical composition to identify bioactive compounds responsible for pharmacological properties. Using HPLC/derivatization technique of GC-MS and quantitative spectrophotometric assays, the phenolic profile, and main components of an ethanolic extract from the buds were investigated. The essential oil was characterized by GC-MS. Moreover, the antioxidant activity with the DPPH method, and the antimicrobial activity were tested. Heavy metal detection was perfor...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2126: Synthesis, Electronic, and Antibacterial Properties of 3,7-Di(hetero)aryl-substituted Phenothiazinyl N-Propyl Trimethylammonium Salts
In this study, a library of 3,7-di(hetero)aryl-substituted 10-(3-trimethylammoniumpropyl)10H-phenothiazine salts is prepared. These title compounds and their precursors are reversible redox systems with tunable potentials. The Hammett correlation gives a very good correlation of the first oxidation potentials with &amp;sigma;p parameters. Furthermore, the title compounds and their precursors are blue to green-blue emissive. Screening of the salts reveals for some derivatives a distinct inhibition of several pathogenic bacterial strains (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Aconetobacter ...

Electrospun photothermal tellurium nanosheet-loaded polycaprolactone/gelatin nanofibers to promote wound healing
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Low-cost and biodegradable photothermal wound dressings with remarkable therapeutic effects are highly desirable for next-generation wound healing. Herein, we report an efficient photothermal wound dressing mat made of tellurium nanosheet (TeNS)-loaded electrospun polycaprolactone/gelatin (PCL/GEL) nanofibers. The TeNS-loaded PCL/GEL nanofibrous architectures showed antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus of 87.68% and 94.57%, respectively. Under near-infrared (NIR) light illumination, they can facilitate cell proliferation as ...

Collaborative Cross mice have diverse phenotypic responses to infection with Methicillin-resistant < i > Staphylococcus aureus < /i > USA300
by Aravindh Nagarajan, Kristin Scoggin, Jyotsana Gupta, Manuchehr Aminian, L. Garry Adams, Michael Kirby, David Threadgill, Helene Andrews-PolymenisStaphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen causing diseases ranging from mild skin infections to life threatening conditions, including endocarditis, pneumonia, and sepsis. To identify host genes modulating this host-pathogen interaction, we infected 25 Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse strains with methicillin-resistantS.aureus (MRSA) and monitored disease progression for seven days using a surgically implanted telemetry system. CC strains varied widely in thei...
