The genetic constructions based on integrative vector pGV3850 were used to introduce bacterial genes xyl and T-cyt into potato cells. The transformation was carried out using the leaf-disc method with modifications. A special system for obtaining regenerants from explants of potato in vitro plants or calli has been designed that permitted the selection of transgenic shoots. The presence of the genes in potato genome has been proved by testing the NPTII and glucoisomerase activities. The transgenic plants expressing T-cyt gene differed from the wild type in sharp decrease of the apical dominance.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), traditionally consumed as fermented foods, are now being applied to the medical field beyond health-functional food as probiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously discover and evaluate new strains with suitable probiotic characteristics, mainly focusing on safety. In this study, we isolated eight new strains from postmenopausal vaginal fluid using culturomics approaches, an emerging area of interest.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing problem worldwide, and new treatment options for bacterial infections are direly needed. Engineered probiotics show strong potential in treating or preventing bacterial infections. However, one concern with the use of live bacteria is the risk of the bacteria acquiring genes encoding for AMR or virulence factors through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and the transformation of the probiotic into a superbug.

Effects of simvastatin on the mevalonate pathway and cell wall integrity of Staphylococcus aureus.

J Appl Microbiol

January 2025

Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba, Avenida Limeira, 901, Areião, Piracicaba, SP 13414-903, Brazil.

Aims: To investigate the effects of simvastatin as an antimicrobial, considering its influence on the mevalonate pathway and on the bacterial cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus.

Methods And Results: S. aureus ATCC 29213 and 33591 were exposed to simvastatin in the presence of exogenous mevalonate to determine whether mevalonate could reverse the inhibition.
