The complete catalog of antimicrobial resistance secondary active transporters in : evolution and drug resistance perspective.

Secondary active transporters shuttle substrates across eukaryotic and prokaryotic membranes, utilizing different electrochemical gradients. They are recognized as one of the antimicrobial efflux pumps among pathogens. While primary active transporters within the genome of 630 have been completely cataloged, the systematical study of secondary active transporters remains incomplete.

Two Recombinant Bacteriocins, Rhamnosin and Lysostaphin, Show Synergistic Anticancer Activity Against Gemcitabine-Resistant Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Lines.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a bile duct cancer with a high mortality rate, has a poor prognosis due to its highly invasive and drug-resistant phenotypes. More effective and selective therapies are urgently needed. Bacteriocins are broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides/proteins produced by bacterial strains to compete with other bacteria.

Isolated From Infant Feces Inhibits Toxigenic .

infection is implicated as a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in hospitals worldwide. Probiotics, especially lactic acid bacteria, are the most frequently used alternative treatment. This study aims to identify potential probiotic enterococci strains that act against strains and exert a protective effect on colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29 cells).

Role of the Sea Urchin (Lamarck, 1816) Pits as a Habitat for Epilithic Macroinvertebrates on a Tropical Intertidal Rocky Shore.

Many sea urchin species excavate pits in sedimentary rock, transforming primary rocky substrates into sea urchins' pits. These pits are not only used as their home but seem to harbor a distinct assemblage of organisms. We investigated small-scale spatial variation in community of macroinvertebrates by comparing community composition of epilithic macroinvertebrates between those found on unmodified rocky substrate, inside pits occupied by rock-boring sea urchin (Lamarck, 1816), and unoccupied pits, on an intertidal rocky shore in southern Thailand.
