Anti-Bacterial Property and Cytotoxicity of Allium Sativum and Myrtus Communis Extracts against Nosocomial Bacterial Infections
Background: Microbial infections and the resistance to antibacterial drugs are on the rise, and scientists are in search of the safest and most effective approach to overcome them. Medicinal plants are potentially effective against many microorganisms. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity of the extracts of Allium sativum and Myrtus communis...
متن کاملPattern of Bacterial and Fungal Infections in Neutropenic Pediatric Patients
Backgrounds: Neutropenia can be associated with life-threatening infections. Gram negative and staphylococcal infections are the most common pathogens. The spectrum of bacterial isolates has changed considerably over the past four decades. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of bacterial and fungal infections in neutropenic pediatric patients. Methods: A non-randomize...
متن کاملMethanobactin and the Link between Copper and Bacterial Methane Oxidation.
Methanobactins (mbs) are low-molecular-mass (<1,200 Da) copper-binding peptides, or chalkophores, produced by many methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). These molecules exhibit similarities to certain iron-binding siderophores but are expressed and secreted in response to copper limitation. Structurally, mbs are characterized by a pair of heterocyclic rings with associated thioamide group...
متن کاملAmyloids-DNA complexes mediate adherence and cohesiveness of bacterial biofilms
Complexity of bacterial biofilms is generally due to their composition in terms of microorganisms as well as in the diversity of their matrix components. The commonly described extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are exopolysaccharides (ePS), exoproteins (ePN) and extracellular DNA (eDNA). Besides, several studies have shown that the ePN are the most abundant compound within a biofilm [1]....
متن کاملEpigenetics and bacterial infections.
Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or orchestrate cellular responses to external stimuli. Recent studies highlight that bacteria can affect the chromatin structure and transcriptional program of host cells by influencing diverse epigenetic factors (i.e., histone modifications, DNA methylation, chromatin-associated complexes,...
