Article Synopsis
- * Dental and eye examinations were conducted by specialists to identify periodontal disease and specific types of AMD in 200 participants, using standardized criteria.
- * Findings revealed that factors like age, education level, income, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and hepatitis B are significantly associated with AMD, particularly in individuals under 60.
We identified the role of a conserved hypothetical protein (SSA_0451) in that is involved in the virulence of infective endocarditis. An whole blood killing assay and rabbit endocarditis model studies revealed that the SSA_0451 mutant (ΔSSA_0451) was significantly less virulent than the wild-type (SK36) and its complementation mutant (ΔSSA_0451C). The mechanism underlying the SSA_0451 mutant's reduced virulence in infective endocarditis was evidentially linked to oxidative stress and environmental stress.
