Characterization and efficacy of Salmonella phage cocktail PHA46 in the control of Salmonella Newport and Typhimurium internalized into cherry tomatoes.

Non-typhoid Salmonella enterica causes salmonellosis illness, and this bacterium can contaminate food throughout the production chain, including those that are consumed as raw products. Salmonella enterica can adhere to and internalize into fresh produce such as cherry tomatoes. It has been reported that lytic bacteriophages (phages) can be used as a biocontrol agent in the agricultural field, being an alternative for the control of Salmonella in red meat, fish, lettuce, and cabbage.

Curcumin Stimulates the Overexpression of Virulence Factors in Serovar Typhimurium: In Vitro and Animal Model Studies.

Salmonella spp. is one of the most common food poisoning pathogens and the main cause of diarrheal diseases in humans in developing countries. The increased Salmonella resistance to antimicrobials has led to the search for new alternatives, including natural compounds such as curcumin, which has already demonstrated a bactericidal effect; however, in Gram-negatives, there is much controversy about this effect, as it is highly variable.

GABAergic system's Injuries Induced by Sodium Sulfite in Caenorhabditis elegans Were Prevented by the Anti-Oxidative Properties of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate.

Several pathophysiological processes involve Hypoxia conditions, where the nervous system is affected as well. We postulate that the GABAergic system is especially sensitive. Furthermore, drugs improving the resistance to hypoxia have been investigated, such as the neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) which has shown beneficial effects in hypoxic processes in mammals; however, at the cellular level, its exact mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated.

Drug Susceptibility Testing and Synergistic Antibacterial Activity of Curcumin with Antibiotics against Enterotoxigenic .

This study investigated the susceptibility of Enterotoxigenic to curcumin, as well as its synergistic effect with 12 antimicrobial drugs. Our study shows that curcumin did not affect bacterial growth. The antimicrobial susceptibility of curcumin and antibiotic synergy were identified using disc diffusion on Mueller-Hinton agar.
