There are only a few reports in Mexico about the strains found in various foods. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of , serogroups, virulence genes, and antimicrobial resistance in different foods from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

Comparative Analysis of a Secondary Metabolite Profile from Roots and Leaves of by UPLC-MS and GC-MS.

is a traditional Mexican medicinal plant and is an important source of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity. The aim of this work was to conduct a comparative analysis of secondary metabolites of different roots and leaf extracts of from two zones in Mexico using ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Twelve secondary metabolites from roots were identified in the leaves.

The sodium borate relieves the hypertrophic damage induced during pregnancy, it improves contractibility, reduces oxidative stress and stimulates cell proliferation.

Introduction: Fetal and postnatal hypertrophy develop in response to such different exposures or illnesses the mother suffers during gestation as anti-infectious and physical agents, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and even advanced maternal age. This gives rise to high comorbidities in the newborn; therefore, looking for alternatives that contribute to cardiac homeostasis is quite necessary to inhibit the overgrowth of myocytes. Boron-derivative compounds could play a key role in exerting a repairing effect on chronic cardiac damage induced during gestation.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Pecan Nut () Shell Extracts and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial Activity.

Nowadays, the increase in bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics has become a real threat to the human health, forcing researchers to develop new strategies. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) may be a viable solution to this problem. The green synthesis of AgNPs is considered a green, ecological and low-priced process that provides small and biocompatible nanostructures with antimicrobial activity with a potential application in medicine.

Identification and Characterization of the CRISPR/Cas System in Strains From Diverse Sources.

The CRISPR-Cas [clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and the CRISPR-associated genes (Cas)] system provides defense mechanisms in bacteria and archaea vs. mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as plasmids and bacteriophages, which can either be harmful or add sequences that can provide virulence or antibiotic resistance. is a Gram-positive bacterium that could be the etiological agent of important soft tissue infections that can lead to bacteremia and sepsis.

Community-Acquired Neonatal SARS-CoV-2 Infection Associated with Neurological Symptoms in Colombia.

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 may produce neurological manifestations, including its occurrence in children, and newborns, which has been little reported so far in newborns with COVID-19.

Case: We present a case in Colombia, of community-acquired neonatal infection of SARS-CoV-2, with suggestive symptoms, such as fever, and showing neurological findings, such as drowsiness, poor suction and mild hypotonia for a short time.

Discussion: The clinical manifestations of SARS-COV-2 in neonates are beginning to be described in detail.

Rheological effects of high substitution levels of fats by inulin in whole cassava dough: chemical and physical characterization of produced biscuits.

Inulin has been used as a fat substitute in baked goods due to its gelling properties and functionality. However, it usually has been done in low substitution levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect in rheological parameters in cassava dough caused by high substitution levels of fats by inulin.

In Silico Study of the Resistance to Organophosphorus Pesticides Associated with Point Mutations in Acetylcholinesterase of Lepidoptera: . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . and . .

An in silico analysis of the interaction between the complex-ligands of nine acetylcholinesterase (AChE) structures of Lepidopteran organisms and 43 organophosphorus (OPs) pesticides with previous resistance reports was carried out. To predict the potential resistance by structural modifications in Lepidoptera insects, due to proposed point mutations in AChE, a broad analysis was performed using computational tools, such as homology modeling and molecular docking. Two relevant findings were revealed: (1) Docking results give a configuration of the most probable spatial orientation of two interacting molecules (AChE enzyme and OP pesticide) and (2) a predicted Δ.

Potential functional bakery products as delivery systems for prebiotics and probiotics health enhancers.

Several health benefits have been associated to probiotics and prebiotics, most of these are involved in the regulation of the host's gut microbiome. Their incorporation to diverse food products has been done to develop potential functional foods. In the case of bakery products, their incorporation has been seen to improve several technological parameters such as volume, specific volume, texture along with sensorial parameters such as flavor and aroma.

[Spontaneous perforation of the bile duct in a neonate: An unexpected finding. Case report].

Unlabelled: Spontaneous extrahepatic bile duct perforation is rare in newborns. It is a surgical cause of jaundice in this period and the acute presentation is unusual.

Objective: To report a case of spontaneous bile duct perforation in a newborn due to its serious complications if an early and timely diagnosis is not performed.

Candidatus Frankia Datiscae Dg1, the Actinobacterial Microsymbiont of Datisca glomerata, Expresses the Canonical nod Genes nodABC in Symbiosis with Its Host Plant.

Frankia strains are nitrogen-fixing soil actinobacteria that can form root symbioses with actinorhizal plants. Phylogenetically, symbiotic frankiae can be divided into three clusters, and this division also corresponds to host specificity groups. The strains of cluster II which form symbioses with actinorhizal Rosales and Cucurbitales, thus displaying a broad host range, show suprisingly low genetic diversity and to date can not be cultured.

Enhancement of tannase production by Lactobacillus plantarum CIR1: validation in gas-lift bioreactor.

The optimization of tannase production by Lactobacillus plantarum CIR1 was carried out following the Taguchi methodology. The orthogonal array employed was L18 (2(1) × 3(5)) considering six important factors (pH and temperature, also phosphate, nitrogen, magnesium, and carbon sources) for tannase biosynthesis. The experimental results obtained from 18 trials were processed using the software Statistical version 7.

Cupriavidus and Burkholderia species associated with agricultural plants that grow in alkaline soils.

The presence of Burkholderia, Cupriavidus, and Ralstonia species in northeastern Mexico was investigated. An analysis of the root surrounding soil from different agricultural plants led to the isolation of Burkholderia and Cupriavidus species but no Ralstonia strains. Most Cupriavidus species were unknown and grouped into two clusters according to ARDRA profiles.

A novel tannase from the xerophilic fungus Aspergillus niger GH1.

Aspergillus niger GH1 previously isolated and identified by our group as a wild tannase producer was grown under solid-state (SSC) and submerged culture (SmC) conditions to select the enzyme production system. For tannase purification, extracellular tannase was produced under SSC using polyurethane foam as the inert support. Tannase was purified to apparent homogeneity by ultrafiltration, anion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration that led to a purified enzyme with a specific activity of 238.

Isolation and evaluation of tannin-degrading fungal strains from the Mexican desert.

Eleven fungal strains (4 Penicillium commune, 2 Aspergillus niger, 2 Aspergillus rugulosa, Aspergillus terricola, Aspergillus ornatus and Aspergillus fumigatus) were isolated, characterized morphologically and by their capacity to degrade tannins. Aspergillus niger Aa-20 was used as control strain. Several concentrations of hydrolysable tannin (tannic acid) were used as sole carbon source.
