Pathogen inactivation technologies are known to alter in vitro phenotype and functional properties of platelets. Because pathogen inactivation generates reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress is considered as one of the plausible cause at the origin of the platelet storage lesion acceleration after treatment. To date proteomics has been used to document the protein variations to picture out the impact. Here, platelet concentrates were prepared from buffy-coats in Intersol additive solution, leukoreduced and pathogen inactivated using a riboflavin/UVB treatment. At day 2 of storage the platelet proteomes of control (untreated) and treated platelet concentrates were investigated against the site specific oxidation by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry in a shotgun experiment. The shotgun approach detected 9350 peptides (and 2534 proteins) of which 1714 were oxidized. Eighteen peptides were found exclusively oxidized in treated platelets whereas 3 peptides were only found oxidized in control. The present data evidenced an interference with several proteins involved in platelet aggregation and platelet shape change (such as talin and vinculin).

College of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.
Probiotics are an essential dietary supplement for intestinal flora balance, inhibition of pathogenic bacteria and immune regulation. However, probiotic inactivation during gastrointestinal transportation remains a big challenge for oral administration. Hence, oral delivery systems (ODSs) based on polysaccharides have been constructed to protect probiotics from harsh environments.

Several mutations of the uppermost arginine, R219, in the voltage-sensing sliding helix S4 of cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5 are reported in the ClinVar databases, but the clinical significance of the respective variants is unknown (VUSs). AlphaFold 3 models predicted a significant downshift of S4 in the R219C VUS.

Due to an increased demand for natural food additives, clove oil was assessed as a natural alternative to chemical disinfectants in produce washing. This study assessed the antimicrobial activity of 5 and 10% (/) clove oil-amended wash liquid (CO) using a zone of inhibition (ZIB) test and determined the time required to completely inactivate pathogenic bacteria using bacterial death curve analysis. A washing experiment was used to evaluate CO's ability to inhibit bacterial growth on inoculated RTE spinach and in the wash water.

Purpose Of Review: Antimicrobial resistance in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has become an urgent global public health threat, raising the specter of untreatable infections. This review summarizes the determinants of resistance among the five most common curable STIs Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Treponema pallidum, and Trichomonas vaginalis, as well as strategies to mitigate the spread of resistance.
Recent Findings: Genetic mutations are key drivers of resistance for N.
