AN ACE UP THEIR SLEEVE: A TRANSCRIPTOMIC APPROACH EXPOSES THE ACEI EFFLUX PROTEIN OF ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII AND REVEALS THE DRUG EFFLUX POTENTIAL HIDDEN IN MANY MICROBIAL PATHOGENS

An ace up their sleeve: a transcriptomic approach exposes the AceI efflux protein of Acinetobacter baumannii and reveals the drug efflux potential hidden in many microbial pathogens

The era of antibiotics as a cure-all for bacterial infections appears to be coming to an end.The emergence of multidrug resistance in many hospital-associated pathogens has resulted in superbugs that are effectively untreatable.Multidrug efflux pumps are well known mediators of bacterial drug resistance.Genome sequencing efforts have highlighted an

miR-34a repression in proneural malignant gliomas upregulates expression of its target PDGFRA and promotes tumorigenesis.

Glioblastoma (GBM) and other malignant gliomas are aggressive primary neoplasms of the brain that exhibit notable refractivity to standard treatment regimens.Recent large-scale molecular profiling has revealed distinct disease subclasses within malignant gliomas whose defining genomic features highlight dysregulated molecular networks as potential

Different Oxytocin Responses to Acute Methamphetamine Treatment in Juvenile Female Rats Perinatally Exposed to Stress and/or Methamphetamine Administration

Methamphetamine (MA) is an addictive psychostimulant, often abused by drug-addicted women during pregnancy.The offspring of drug-addicted mothers are often exposed to perinatal stressors.The present study examines Cleaners the effect of perinatal stressors and drug exposure on plasma oxytocin (OXY) levels in female progeny.Rat mothers were divided
