Genetic determinants of Salmonella enterica critical for attachment and biofilm formation.

Salmonella is a bacterial pathogen frequently involved in human gastrointestinal infections including those associated with low-moisture foods such as dehydrated food powders/spices, vegetable seeds, and tree nuts. The survival/persistence of Salmonella on low moisture foods and in dry environments is enhanced by its ability in developing biofilms. This study was undertaken to identify the genetic determinants critical for Salmonella attachment and biofilm formation. E. coli SM10 lambda pir, with a kanamycin resistant marker on mini-Tn10 (mini-Tn10:lacZ:kanr), an ampicillin resistant marker on…

BACKGROUND: Anaphylaxis hospitalizations are increasing in many countries, in particular for medication and food triggers in young children. … S: Young adults with a history of asthma, previously known food allergy particularly to peanut/tree nuts are at higher risk of fatal anaphylaxis reactions. In some countries, cow's milk and seafood/fish are also becoming common triggers of fatal reactions. Delayed adrenaline injection is associated with fatal outcomes, but timely adrenaline alone may b …

Evidence for the involvement of the monoaminergic system, but not the opioid system in the antidepressant-like activity of ellagic acid in mice.

Dietary flavonoids possess a multiplicity of neuroprotective actions in various central nervous pathophysiological conditions including depression. Ellagic acid is a polyphenolic compound that occurs in plants such as raspberries, nuts and eucalyptus species. The present study was designed to investigate the antidepressant-like effect of ellagic acid in mice using forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST). The involvement of the monoaminergic and opioid systems in the antidepressant-like activity of ellagic acid was also studied. Our results showed that ellagic acid when admini…
