This study investigated the efficacy of pre-conditioning lens cases on bacterial biofilm formation and removal. Silver impregnated (MicroBlock / ProGuard™ & i-Clean) and control storage cases were pre-conditioned for 24 h with their respective multipurpose solutions (MPDSs). Cases were then inoculated with 2 ml of 106 CFU/mL of ocular isolates of e...

The NASA GeneLab Data System (GLDS) was recently developed to facilitate cross-experiment comparisons in order to understand the response of microorganisms to the human spaceflight environment. However, prior spaceflight experiments have been conducted using a wide variety of different hardware, media, culture conditions, and procedures. Such confo...

BackgroundStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), including methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), is an eminent human pathogen that can colonize the human host and cause severe life-threatening infections. The development of a reliable, simple and rapid assay for detecting S. aureus and identifying MRSA is ...

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen both in community-acquired and healthcare-associated infections, and has successfully evolved numerous strategies for resisting the action to practically all antibiotics. Resistance to methicillin is now widely described in the community setting (CMRSA), thus the development of new drugs or alternative...

The use of prewetted disinfectant towelettes in health care settings proves challenging because they may dry quickly, reducing disinfection. This study examined the drying time of various commercial disinfectant towelettes and the efficacy of these towelettes over time to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus from glass surfaces. This study confirms that...

BackgroundOur previous research indicated the excellent in vitro antibacterial activity of Eravacycline (Erava) and its heteroresistance frequency against clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates. In this study, we further aimed to investigate the mechanisms of Erava resistance and heteroresistance in S. aureus. Eight parental S. aureus isolates wer...

BackgroundIndwelling central venous catheters (CVC) are used to provide long term hemodialysis. The commonest and the severe complication of CVC is the central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). This study was done to assess the etiology and infectious complications of CVC in children on long term hemodialysis.MethodsChildren newly und...

Background Staphylococcus aureus is one of the common opportunistic gram-positive pathogens which are often associated with nosocomial infections. Detection of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has become complicated due to the complex phenotypic and genomic pattern. Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity pattern of various phen...

5-Acetoxy- and 5-hydroxyalkanethioamide analogues showed high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Antibacterial thioamides were prepared from 5-alkyl-δ-lactones by amidation, thionation, and subsequent deacetylation. Optically active thioamides with 99% diastereomeric excesses were prepared by diastereomeric resolution using Cbz-L...
