The aim of this study was to evaluate the reduction in the adherence of 33 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from humans and different animals to human buccal epithelial cells with neuraminidase inhibition. Buccal epithelial cells were incubated with strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence or absence of the neuraminidase inhibitors, 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (DANA) or N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (NANA). Incubation of cells with bacteria in the presence of either DANA or NANA reduced bacterial adherence significantly by 35.24 +/- 23.90%, and 68.00 +/- 22.51 %, respectively. We suggest that the in vivo effects of such interventions should be explored as potential mechanisms reducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the binding to buccal cells.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen associated conditions like septicaemia, respiratory disorders, and diarrhoea in poultry, particularly in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The infection causes huge economical losses due to its high transmissibility, mortality and zoonotic potential.

Flagella are essential for motility and pathogenicity in many bacteria. The main component of the flagellar filament, flagellin (FliC), often undergoes post-translational modifications, with glycosylation being a common occurrence. In PAO1, the b-type flagellin is -glycosylated with a structure that includes a deoxyhexose, a phospho-group, and a previous unknown moiety.

Interventional catheters have been widely applied in diagnostics, therapeutics, and other biomedical areas. The complications caused by catheter-related bacterial infection, venous thrombosis, and vascular abrasion have become the main reasons for the failure of interventional therapy. In this study, polyacrylamide/poly(acrylic acid) lubricating copolymer brushes were constructed on the surface of catheters and efficiently resisted the adhesion of blood components and bacteria through hydration and electrostatic repulsion effects.

(Z)-3-butylamino-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)but-2-en-1-one (1), a new β-aminoenone, has been investigated in terms of its intra- and intermolecular interactions. Vibrational, electronic and NMR spectroscopies were used for the characterization, while X-ray diffraction methods afforded the determination of the crystal structure. The compound is arranged in the crystal lattice as centre-symmetric H-bonded dimeric aggregates (C2/c monoclinic space group).
