Therapeutic Strategies To Counteract Antibiotic Resistance in MRSA Biofilm-Associated Infections

Stella Cascioferro et al.

Summary: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of persistent human infections, with the ability to colonize asymptomatically and cause moderate to severe infections. It is considered a superbug due to its high morbidity and mortality rates, as well as its resistance to most antibiotics on the market. Its formation of biofilms on various surfaces is believed to be the primary means of its antibiotic resistance and widespread presence. Development of new anti-virulence strategies is crucial in combating MRSA infections associated with biofilms.

Modulation of antioxidant defence system in response to berberine in Candida albicans

Evida Poopedi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the role of antioxidant enzymes in fluconazole resistance in Candida albicans, studied the effect of berberine on the growth of different isolates, and investigated the modulation of antioxidant enzymes by berberine in Candida albicans. The study found that fluconazole-resistant isolates had significantly increased expression of major antioxidant genes compared to susceptible groups, and berberine treatment caused upregulation of mRNA expression and enzymatic activities of targeted major antioxidants.

Selection of a High-Affinity DNA Aptamer for the Recognition of Cadmium Ions

Gaojian Yang et al.

Summary: This study successfully identified a high-affinity aptamer Cd-1 for the recognition of cadmium ions using a modified SELEX method. Cd-1 showed the highest affinity for cadmium ions and exhibited certain specificity for detecting other heavy metal ions. The strategy of immobilizing an ssDNA library on a matrix is believed to be applicable for the discovery of other ions in a reproducible manner.
