Antibacterial efficacy interference of the photocatalytic TiO nanoparticle and the lytic bacteriophage vb_EcoS_bov25_1D on the Enterohaemorragic strain Sakai.

Post-antibiotic era requires the use of alternative pesticides against bacterial infections. One potential application field is agriculture, where pesticides are routinely applied in combinations. In this study we tested the interference of antibacterial effects of two alternative antimicrobials with basically different mode of actions if applied together by using the Enterohemorrhagic strain Sakai as a modelorganism, one strain of a pathotype that is frequently associated with meat and plant derived infections.

[Antibacterial effect of local anaesthetics].

Összefoglaló. Gyógyszereink egy részének jelentős, az eredeti alkalmazástól eltérő hatása is van. Ezek felismerése fontos, hogy elkerüljük a nem várt mellékhatásokat, vagy kihasználjuk ezeket a kedvező adottságokat.

Amiodarone that has antibacterial effect against human pathogens may represent a novel catheter lock.

Infection is one of the most feared hospital-acquired complications. Infusion therapy is frequently administered through a central line. Infusions facilitating bacterial growth may be a source of central line-associated bloodstream infections.

Selective and Potent CDK8/19 Inhibitors Enhance NK-Cell Activity and Promote Tumor Surveillance.

Natural killer (NK) cells play a pivotal role in controlling cancer. Multiple extracellular receptors and internal signaling nodes tightly regulate NK activation. Cyclin-dependent kinases of the mediator complex (CDK8 and CDK19) were described as a signaling intermediates in NK cells.
