The lethal and mutagenic effect of streptomycin and nystatin on Act. noursei, strain 408 producing nystatin was studied. The survival of the spores of strain 408 on the medium with streptomycin decreased with an increase in the antibiotic concentration. Streptomycin had a selective effect on the nystatin-producing organism decreasing the frequency of morphologically changed and low active variants and revealing highly active and antibiotic stable variants. The survival of the spores of strain 408 on the medium with nystatin (20,000 units/ml) amounted to 35 per cent. Nystatin had an inhibitory effect on the organism producing it which was evident from delayed growth and significant modification variation of the colonies, as well as from a marked increase in the number of the variants characterized by low antibiotic production.

Distinct tau amyloid assemblies underlie diverse tauopathies but defy rapid classification. Cell and animal experiments indicate tau functions as a prion, as different strains propagated in cells cause unique, transmissible neuropathology after inoculation. Strain amplification requires compatibility of the monomer and amyloid template.

Bacteriophage-derived dsRNA (bp-dsRNA), also known as Larifan, is a poly-functional and wide-spectrum antiviral medication with potent interferonogenic activity. In the lungs of golden Syrian hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2, Larifan substantially reduces viral load and decreases infection-induced pathological lesion severity. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are key sentinel cells in the lung, which play an important role in antiviral innate immune responses and, at the same time, can trigger infection-associated hyper-inflammatory response.
