Previous studies had shown that sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver sulphadiazine (AgSD) stimulated the production of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 in certain strains (responder strains) of Staphylococcus aureus and that protease production was also affected. No changes were detected in other strains (non-responders). Extracellular proteins from eleven responder and non-responder strains grown with and without AgSD were separated by SDS PAGE. There were three classes of response, responder strains that showed enhancement of synthesis of certain proteins, non-responder strains that showed no change and responder strains that showed a general decrease in exoprotein production in the early stages of growth. The results showed that the effects of AgSD were complex and that S. aureus strains were heterogenous with respect to their response to sub-inhibitory concentrations of AgSD.

Whereas single crystals of organic compounds that respond to heat or light have been reported and studied in detail, studies on crystalline organic compounds that elicit an extreme mechanical response are relatively rare in the chemical literature. A tetrafluoro(aryl)sulfanylated bicyclopentane synthesized in our laboratory was discovered to exhibit such behavior; i.e.

PrfA is a key virulence regulator for (Lm) responding to host environment. Here we report that the natural mutation in PrfA enhanced the pathogenicity of hypervirulent serotype 4h . We characterized the phylogenetic tree of PrfA, and found that PrfA prevalently distributed in all serotype 4h isolates.

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is an ongoing worldwide public health concern. Genetic factors contribute to multiple OUD-related phenotypes, such as opioid-induced analgesia, initiation of opioid use, and opioid dependence. Here, we present findings from a behavioral phenotyping protocol using male and female rats from 15 genetically diverse inbred strains from the Hybrid Rat Diversity Panel (HRDP).
