Production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) by Staphylococcus spp. isolates from dogs.

In the present study, 39 canine isolates of Staphylococcus spp. were tested for antimicrobial substance (AMS) production. Seven AMS producers were identified, whose products exhibited a non-acidic character and a proteinaceous nature, therefore being considered bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS).

Systematic Review of Psychological and Behavioral Correlates of Recreational Running.

The aim of this review was to systematically synthesize the published literature describing the psychological and behavioral correlates of recreational running in adults, defined as running for leisure, with or without a competitive component. Quantitative research published in peer-reviewed journals until January 2021 were included. Studies were identified through MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science and were included in this review if they (1) were aimed at recreational running, (2) included general adult samples (18 years or older, without a diagnosed medical condition or metabolic disorder), and (3) assessed psychological or behavioral correlates of recreational running.

Draft Genome Sequence of 4185, a Strain That Produces Aureocyclicin 4185.

The draft genome sequence of the aureocyclicin 4185-producing strain 4185 is presented. The assembly contains 2,789,721 bp and a G+C content of 32.8%.

Nisin and lysostaphin activity against preformed biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus involved in bovine mastitis.

Aims: The biofilm produced by Staphylococcus aureus isolates involved in clinical or subclinical bovine mastitis and the activity of nisin and lysostaphin against the preformed biofilm produced by these strains were investigated.

Methods And Results: Eighteen strains were tested and all produced biofilm. Eight strains with distinct biofilm composition were selected for the antimicrobial activity assays.
