Investigating the production and synergistic antibacterial activity of bacteriocin-like substance from Brevibacillus laterosporus SA-14 (TISTR 2453) for enhanced wound healing by Husna Madoromae, Apichart Atipairin, Malatee Tayeh, Monthon Lertcanawanichakul

“…The results showed that when the SA-14 strain was cultured in half-formula Luria-Bertani broth (LB/2) with added carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, and lactose), all cultures reached the late log phase at 24 h, and antibacterial activity was exhibited against various MRSA strains after 48 h, except for the LB/2 supplemented with glucose, likely due to carbon catabolite repression. …”

Diversity in Adaptive Evolution of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates Under Exposure to Continuous Linezolid Stress in vitro by Han T, Jia T, Wang J

“…A new mutation in the domain V region of 23S rRNA gene (C2404T) and one mutation in amino acid sequences of ribosomal protein (Met208Thr) were firstly identified among linezolid-resistant strains. Except G2576T mutations in 23S rRNA gene, the distribution of other mutations (A2451T, T2504A, C2404T, T2500A, G2447T) exhibited obvious strain heterogeneity. …”

Phage vB_Kpn_HF0522: Isolation, Characterization, and Therapeutic Potential in Combatting K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections by Yan T, Wang Q, Ma C, Teng X, Gong Z, Chu W, Zhou Q, Liu Z

“…The bacterial growth rate remained largely unchanged after the phage resistance mutation, but mice infected with the mutant strain showed significantly higher survival rates than those infected with the wild-type strain. vB_Kpn_HF0522 increased the survival rate of infected G. mellonella from 12.5% to 75%, inhibited incisional surgical site infections and alleviated inflammatory response in mice.Conclusion: These findings indicate that vB_Kpn_HF0522 has significant potential for treating specific bacterial infections, and may serve as an antimicrobial agent for research and clinical anti-infective therapy.Keywords: phage vB_Kpn_HF0522, phage therapy, Klebsiella pneumoniae, phage resistance, incisional surgical site infection, biofilm…”
