[ 1 ] - Purification and evaluation of glycerol teichoic acid from biofilm forming Staphylococcus epidermidis as a putative vaccine candidate
Introduction: Biofilm forming Staphylococcus epidermidis is a main causative agent of infections related to medical devices. Purification and evaluation of Gly-TA polysaccharide from a biofilm-forming S. epidermidis as a putative vaccine candidate were the main goals of the current study. Methods: Taking advantage of size exclusion chromatography procedure, glycerol teichoic acid (Gly-TA) was p...
[ 2 ] - Comparison of the Effect of Phenylalanine Arginine Beta Naphthylamide (PAβN) and Curcumin on Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Aminoglycosides on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates
Background and Objective: Efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) can block efflux pumps and are helpful in potentiating the activity of aminoglycosides against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The present study compared the effects of phenylalanine-arginine beta naphthylamide (PAβN) and curcumin on aminoglycoside minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates. Materials and M...
