Multiomics analysis of Staphylococcus aureus ST239 strains resistant to virulent Herelleviridae phages.

In the context of the antimicrobial therapy crisis, the significance of studying and implementing alternative treatment methods, particularly phage therapy, is increasingly evident. This study aimed to investigate the resistance of clinical Staphylococcus aureus ST239 strains to Herelleviridae phages through comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. Analysis of resistant and sensitive S.

The Role of Propionate-Induced Rearrangement of Membrane Proteins in the Formation of the Virulent Phenotype of Crohn's Disease-Associated Adherent-Invasive .

Adhesive-invasive has been suggested to be associated with the development of Crohn's disease (CD). It is assumed that they can provoke the onset of the inflammatory process as a result of the invasion of intestinal epithelial cells and then, due to survival inside macrophages and dendritic cells, stimulate chronic inflammation. In previous reports, we have shown that passage of the CD isolate ZvL2 on minimal medium M9 supplemented with sodium propionate (PA) as a carbon source stimulates and inhibits the adherent-invasive properties and the ability to survive in macrophages.

Biological Activity of Hybrid Vaterite-Pectin Microparticles Towards Bacteria E. coli and Human Neutrophils.

Interaction of microbiota with hybrid vaterite-pectin microparticles as an attractive multifunctional vehicle for mucosal delivery should not provoke inflammation. Our purpose was to study the reaction of bacteria E. coli strain Mg1655 and isolate SharL from a patient with Crohn disease on the cultivation with hybrid microparticles and vaterite, and the subsequent activation of neutrophils.

Correlation between the Colony Phenotype and Amino Acid Sequence of the Variable Vaa Antigen in Clinical Isolates of Mycoplasma hominis.

A new Mycoplasma hominis phenotype forming mini-colonies (MC) on agar and distinct from the phenotype forming typical colonies (TC) not only in size, but also in morphology, growth rate, and resistance to adverse factors, has been previously identified. In this study, the phenotype of colonies was determined and a comparative analysis of the amino acid sequence of the main variable antigen Vaa of the laboratory strain N-34 and seven clinical isolates of M. hominis was performed.

Molecular Changes in Immunological Characteristics of Bone Marrow Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Lymphoid Neoplasia.

Immune system and bone marrow stromal cells play an important role in maintaining normal hematopoiesis. Lymphoid neoplasia disturbs not only development of immune cells, but other immune response mechanisms as well. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) of the bone marrow are involved in immune response regulation through both intercellular interactions and secretion of various cytokines.
