This study was undertaken to ascertain whether or not a nephritis strain-associated protein (NSAP) is produced by Streptococcus pyogenes strain Su, which is used in OK-432, an antitumor agent. SDS-PAGE and double immunodiffusion analysis showed that no NSAP occurred in the extracellular product of S. pyogenes strain Su.

Recently a resurgence of has arisen, with concerns around the highly virulent M1 lineage. Our aim was to characterize , the immune responses it causes, and to determine the presence of the M1 lineage in Sofia, Bulgaria. In our study, the infections were confirmed by culture testing or rapid antigen test.

Background: Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality globally. Conventional treatment modalities, including radiation and chemotherapy, often fall short of achieving complete remission, highlighting the critical need for novel therapeutic strategies. One promising approach involves the oncolytic potential of Group A (GAS) strains for tumor treatment.

To address microbial infections and combat drug resistance, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated three novel s-triazine clubbed pharmacophores: 1-acetylpyrazoline (5a-e), 2-aminopyrimidine (6a-e), and 1,5-benzodiazepine (7a-e). These were derived from chalcone (4a-e), showing improved pharmacological profiles. The compounds underwent characterization by FTIR, NMR, and Mass Spectroscopy, and their antimicrobial activities, along with structure-activity relationships (SAR), were assessed using in silico and in vitro methods.

The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using cyanobacteria has gained significant attention due to its cost-effective and eco-friendly advantages in green synthesis. Additionally, biogenic AgNPs show great potential for biological applications, particularly in combating infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria and fungi. This study synthesized using the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria salina (Os-AgNPs).

Discovering new antibiotics and increasing the efficacy of existing antibiotics are priorities to address antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial proteins and peptides (AMPPs) are considered among the most promising antibiotic alternatives and complementary therapies. Here, we build upon previous work investigating the antibacterial activity of a semi-purified hemolymph protein extract (HPE) of the Australian oyster Saccostrea glomerata.
