Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultidrug-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens Assessment in Canine Ophthalmic InfectionsRicardo Antonio Pilegi Sfaciotte, Lincoln Garcia Coronel, Alessandra Snak et al.The objective of this study was to identify the main microorganisms associated with ophthalmic infections and determine the resistance profile of these isolates against antimicrobial drugs. 26 bacterial isolates from 18 canine ophthalmic infections were submited to the phenotypic resistance profile for 36 drugs of 12 classes of antimicrobials, research of multidrug-resistant strains with importance in public health and detection … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2018 · 7,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ1,3-GLUCAN ANTICANCER EFFICACIES AND SYNERGIES: A REVIEWStory Jenny, Vetvicka Vaclav, Angove Michaelβ1,3-glucans from fungi, cereals, seaweeds and bacteria have been shown to possess favourable biological and anti-carcinogenic activities including upregulation of phagocytosis, cytokine production enhancement, superoxide and nitrite production; antibody secretion and stimulation of signalling pathways associated with proto-oncogene expression. However, human dietary supplements containing β1,3-glucans vary in efficacy due to glucan source, the lifecycle stage of the source at extraction, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 8,759 accessesView PDFCite

Tigecycline, a broad spectrum glycylcycline is a one among the few treatment options against MDR-GNBs. However it has been studied mostly in the western world, … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 12 Sep 2012 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in the Human Skin Microbiome Over One Year’s TimeRichard W. Hyman, Farbod Babrzadeh, Curtis Palm et al.Human skin comprises a large number of distinguishable ecological niches. To describe fully the human skin microbiome, it will be necessary to identify the bacteria in each niche and to distinguish the commensal bacteria from the temporary residents. To contribute to the description of the human skin microbiome and employing a gene-based technology, we have identified the bacteria in two … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 23 Jul 2012 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria on Human SkinRichard W. Hyman, Farbod Babrzadeh, Curtis Palm et al.Problem statement: Human skin is a large (~ 1.75 m2) organ containing a large number of ecologically distinct sites. These sites harbor a variety of distinct microbiomes. One challenge is to define the microbiome at every site. We chose two interesting sites: the base of the Front of the neck and the base of the Back of the neck (the … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2012 · 8,204 accessesView PDFCite
