COVID-19 in a Pre-Omicron Era: A Cross-Sectional Immuno-Epidemical and Genomic Evaluation.

The seventh human coronavirus was discovered and reported primarily in Wuhan, China. After intense seasons with repercussions in all areas of humanity, the pandemic demonstrates a new perspective. In Brazil, the pandemic concept had impacts in vast areas, including healthcare hospitals.

Untargeted Metabolomics Approach of Cross-Adaptation in Induced by Major Compounds of Essential Oils.

Cross-adaptation phenomena in bacterial populations, induced by sublethal doses of antibacterial solutions, are a major problem in the field of food safety. In this regard, essential oils and their major compounds appear as an effective alternative to common sanitizers in food industry environments. The present study aimed to evaluate the untargeted metabolomics perturbations of serovar Enteritidis that has been previously exposed to the sublethal doses of the major components of essential oils: cinnamaldehyde, citral, and linalool (CIN, CIT, and LIN, respectively).

Morphological and metabolomics impact of sublethal doses of natural compounds and its nanoemulsions in Bacillus cereus.

Microbiological safety in food industry are always a concern regarding sublethal tolerance in bacteria for common and natural sanitizers. Natural bacteriocins, such as nisin (NIS), may negatively interfere in the efficiency of major compounds of essential oils against foodborne pathogenic bacteria. However, nanoemulsioned forms increase the bactericidal potential of natural compounds acting synergistically.

Dairy-Derived and Egg White Proteins in Enhancing Immune System Against COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global health challenge, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) triggers a plethora of respiratory disturbances and even multiple organs failure that can be fatal. Nutritional intervention is one of the key components toward to a proper management of COVID-19 patients, especially in those requiring medication, and should thus be considered the first-line treatment. Immuno-modulation and -stimulation are currently being explored in COVID-19 management and are gaining interest by food and pharmaceutical industries.

Management of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Key Focus in Macrolides Efficacy for COVID-19.

Macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, fidaxomicin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin) are a class of bacteriostatic antibiotics commonly employed in medicine against various gram-positive and atypical bacterial species mostly related to respiratory tract infections, besides they possess anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.

Phenolic profiling and in vitro bioactivity of Moringa oleifera leaves as affected by different extraction solvents.

In this work the (poly)-phenolic profile of Moringa oleifera leaves was comprehensively investigated through untargeted metabolomics, following a homogenizer-assisted extraction (HAE) using three solvent systems, i.e. methanol (HAE-1), methanol-water 50:50 v/v (HAE-2) and ethyl acetate (HAE-3).
