The Role of Macrophages in Staphylococcus aureus Infection

Grace R. Pidwill et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus, a member of human commensal microflora, can cause serious diseases by circumventing the innate immune system and establishing infections. Professional phagocytes like macrophages and neutrophils play key roles in containing and resolving S. aureus infections, while the bacteria have evolved multiple strategies to survive, manipulate, and escape from macrophages. Understanding the interactions between macrophages and S. aureus may be beneficial for future therapeutic developments.

Evaluation of the impact of adaptation of Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates to benzalkonium chloride on biofilm formation

Engy A. Elekhnawy et al.

Summary: The study suggests that adaptation to sublethal concentrations of biocides like benzalkonium chloride (BAC) could lead to increased cell surface hydrophobicity and enhanced biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, potentially resulting in treatment failure of infections generated by this pathogen.
