Amplified by the decline in antibiotic discovery, the rise of antibiotic resistance has become a significant global challenge in infectious disease control. Extraintestinal (ExPEC), known to be the most common instigators of urinary tract infections (UTIs), represent such global threat. Novel strategies for more efficient treatments are therefore desperately needed.

Isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) are the two main drugs used for the management of tuberculosis. They are often used as a fixed drug combination, but their delivery is challenged by suboptimal solubility and physical instability. This study explores the potential of active pharmaceutical ingredient-ionic liquids (API-ILs) to improve the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of INH and RIF.

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) induced by topical application of neomycin is frequently reported.

Objectives: This multi-center study investigated prevalence and determinants of neomycin sensitisations in 30 629 outpatients from North-eastern Italy during 1997-2021.

Patients And Methods: European baseline and extended Triveneto series were applied on the upper back of patients patch testing for suspected ACD and removed after 48 h.

Advanced genome engineering enables precise and customizable modifications of bacterial species, and toolsets that exhibit broad-host compatibility are particularly valued owing to their portability. Tn5 transposon vectors have been widely used to establish random integrations of desired DNA sequences into bacterial genomes. However, the iteration of the procedure remains challenging because of the limited availability and reusability of selection markers.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) productive infection induces the generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which may consequently lead to cell apoptosis. In response to DSBs, the DNA damage repair-related protein 53BP1 is recruited to the sites of DSBs, leading to the formation of 53BP1foci, which are crucial for the repair of damaged DNA and maintaining genomic integrity by repairing DSBs. In this study, we discovered that HMGA1 may play a significant role in counteracting virus infection-induced DNA damage, as the siRNA-mediated knockdown of HMGA1 protein expression or inhibition of HMGA1 activity by the chemical inhibitor Netropsin uniformly exacerbates the DNA damage induced by BoHV-1 productive infection.
