M4CK Produces a Bioemulsifier That Acts on Melaleuca Essential Oil and Aids in Its Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity.

Surface-active compounds (SACs) of microbial origin are an active group of biomolecules with potential use in the formulation of emulsions. In this sense, the present study aimed to isolate and select yeasts from fruits that could produce SACs for essential oil emulsions. The M4CK was isolated from the fruit to make SACs.

Draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 5 SA01 isolated from bloodstream infection and comparative analysis with reference strains.

A Staphylococcus aureus isolate (SA01) obtained from bloodstream infection exhibited a remarkable drug resistance profile. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of S. aureus ST 5 SA01, a multidrug-resistant isolate, and analyzed the genes associated with drug resistance and virulence.

Short-Term Intake of Juice Fermented with ATCC 9595 Amended the Outcome of Endotoxemia Induced by Lipopolysaccharide.

Endotoxemia is a condition caused by increasing levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) characterized by an impaired systemic response that causes multiple organ dysfunction. ATCC 9595 is a strain with probiotic potential which shows immunomodulatory properties. The incorporation of this bacterium in food rich in bioactive compounds, such as cupuaçu juice (), could result in a product with interesting health properties.

Chemical Characterization and Leishmanicidal Activity In Vitro and In Silico of Natural Products Obtained from Leaves of (L.) H. Rob (Asteraceae).

(L.) H. Rob is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of several infections.

Unplanned Pregnancy and Depressive Symptoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

This is a cross-sectional study conducted with pregnant women who underwent prenatal care at basic health units in São Luís City, Maranhão State, Brazil. The authors used a semistructured questionnaire to assess the socioeconomic, demographic, and clinical characteristics of pregnant women as well as the Edinburgh Scale to investigate depressive symptoms. In order to assess the association between the explanatory variable and the outcome variable, Poisson logistic regression was performed with statistical significance at p < 0.

Evaluation of Growth, Viability, Lactic Acid Production and Anti-Infective Effects of ATCC 9595 in Bacuri Juice ().

Fruit juices have been emerging as excellent vehicles for development of probiotic products due to their nutritional properties and presence of bioactive compounds. This work evaluated the growth and viability of ATCC 23271 and ATCC 9595 in bacuri juice ( Mart., Clusiaceae).

Antimicrobial Potential of (PB) Isolated From a Plant Native to the Amazon Against .

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial action of filamentous bacteria isolated from the leaf. An endophytic bacterium has been identified by classical and molecular techniques as . Screening for antibacterial action against pathogens with medical relevance ( ATCC 700603, ATCC 15692, ATCC 6538, ATCC 27012, , ATCC 24065, and ATCC 24067) demonstrated activity against the bacterium ATCC 0030 with inhibition diameter zones (IDZ) of 17.

Betulinic Acid Prevents the Acquisition of Ciprofloxacin-Mediated Mutagenesis in .

The occurrence of damage on bacterial DNA (mediated by antibiotics, for example) is intimately associated with the activation of the SOS system. This pathway is related to the development of mutations that might result in the acquisition and spread of resistance and virulence factors. The inhibition of the SOS response has been highlighted as an emerging resource, in order to reduce the emergence of drug resistance and tolerance.
