Restoring Multidrug-Resistant Sensitivity to Ampicillin in Combination with (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, especially , are a major contributor to healthcare-associated infections globally, posing significant treatment challenges. This study explores the efficacy of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a natural constituent of green tea, in combination with ampicillin (AMP) to restore the effectiveness of AMP against 40 isolated MDR strains. Antimicrobial activity assays were conducted to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of EGCG using the standard microdilution technique.

Diversity of trematode cercariae among naturally infected lymnaeid snails from Phayao, Thailand.

Lymnaeids are aquatic snails playing an important role in the transmission of many parasitic trematode species of veterinary and medical importance. In this study, we assessed the presence of cercarial flukes in naturally infected lymnaeid snails from Phayao province, Thailand, and determined the species diversity of both the intermediate snail hosts and parasite larvae. A total of 3,185 lymnaeid snails were collected from paddy fields at 31 sites in eight districts of Phayao province between October 2021 and December 2022.

First study on virulence genes, antimicrobial resistance, and integrons in isolated from cage, free-range, and organic commercial eggs in Phayao Province, Thailand.

Background And Aim: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem that affects human and animal health, and eggs can act as a vehicle for pathogenic and non-pathogenic resistant bacteria in the food chain. is an indicator of food contamination with fecal materials as well as the occurrence and levels of AMR. This study aimed to investigate the presence of AMR, integrons, and virulence genes in isolated from eggshell samples of three egg production systems, from supermarkets in Thailand.

Molecular detection and dense granule antigen 6 genotyping of feline in Phayao, Thailand.

Background And Aim: Globally, toxoplasmosis is an important zoonotic parasite infection of many warm-blooded animals (including humans). oocysts are widespread, and their contamination can be primarily attributed to the members of the Felidae family. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and determine the dense granule antigen 6 (GRA6) genotype of among domestic cats in the Phayao Province, Thailand.

Parasitological and molecular characterization of the avian schistosomatid cercariae infecting lymnaeidae snails in Phayao, Northern Thailand.

Background And Aim: Cercarial dermatitis or swimmer's itch is an allergic skin reaction caused by penetrating cercaria of animal blood flukes. It is considered as a zoonotic water-borne skin condition that is found globally. Among the schistosomatid trematodes, avian schistosomes are the most responsible for cercarial dermatitis.

Naturally acquired IgG antibodies against the C-terminal part of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite threonine-asparagine-rich protein in a low endemic area.

Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite threonine-asparagine-rich protein (STARP), a 78-kDa surface protein, is considered a potential vaccine candidate. The C-terminal part of STARP has been evolved under positive selection, suggesting the presence of immunodominant epitopes. However, little is known about the immune responses against STARP among individuals upon natural malaria exposure.
