AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

We tested the effectiveness of 23 disinfectants used in healthcare facilities against isolates from the 4 major clades of Sporicidal disinfectants were consistently effective, whereas quaternary-ammonium disinfectants had limited activity. Quaternary-ammonium-alcohol and hydrogen-peroxide-based disinfectants varied in effectiveness against .

An aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, motile, coccus-shaped actinomycete, designated strain LSe6-4, was isolated from leaves of sea purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum L.) in Thailand and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic studies. Growth of the strain occurred at temperatures between 15 and 38 °C, and with NaCl concentrations 0-13%.

Background: Nemonoxacin is a new quinolone with an antibacterial efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Certain sequence types (STs) have been emerging in Taiwan, including fluoroquinolone-resistant ST8/USA300. It's an urgent need to determine nemonoxacin susceptibility against ST8/USA300 and other emerging lineages, if any.

Programmed neurite degeneration in human central nervous system neurons driven by changes in NAD metabolism.

Cell Death Dis

January 2025

In vitro Toxicology and Biomedicine, Dept. inaugurated by the Doerenkamp-Zbinden foundation, University of Konstanz, 78457, Konstanz, Germany.

Neurite degeneration (ND) precedes cell death in many neurodegenerative diseases. However, it remains unclear how this compartmentalized cell death process is orchestrated in the central nervous system (CNS). The establishment of a CNS axotomy model (using modified 3D LUHMES cultures) allowed us to study metabolic control of ND in human midbrain-derived neurons without the use of toxicants or other direct disturbance of cellular metabolism.
