Antimicrobial sensitivity of isolates

The objective was to assess the distribution of urinary tract bacterial pathogens and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile of the isolates in our setting. Single positive cultures with a colony count of >105 CFU on CLED medium were identified and their antibiotic sensitivity and resistance profile was depicted in the form of an antibiogram.

A total of (80) samples of living diseased cultured Tilapia fish (Oreochromusniloticus), were collected from different fish farms in Egypt (Behera and Kafr El-Sheikh) which showed the clinical signs of loss of scales from some areas of the skin, excessive mucus all over the body surfaces with petechial haemorrhages over the dorsal musculature, large necrotic lesions extending all over the body and darkness of skin.

Among the other 12 inpatient MRSA isolates which had the pvl gene, nine were sensitive to most of the non- beta lactam antibiotics, whereas remaining three were resistant to most of the antibiotics except vancomycin and linezolid. The presence of pvl gene can no longer be used to discriminate between CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA.

Insulin resistance is a cardinal feature of type 2 diabetes and also a conse-quence of trauma such as surgery. Directly after surgery and cell isolation, adipocytes were insulin resistant, but this was reversed after overnight incu-bation in 10% CO2 at 37
C 2 . Tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)1 was insulin sensitive, but protein kinase B (PKB) and downstream metabolic effects exhibited insulin resistance that was reversed by overnight incubation....

The novel sex-specific potassium channel inhibitor IsTX, a 41-residue peptide, was isolated from the venom of male Opisthacanthus madagascariensis.Two-dimensionalNMR techniques revealed that the structure of IsTX contains a cysteine-stabilizeda/b-fold. IsTX is classified, based on its sequential and structural similarity, in the scorpion short toxin familya-KTx6. Thea-KTx6 family contains a single a-helix and twob-strands connected by four disulfide brid-ges and binds to voltage-gated K + channels and apamin-sensitive Ca 2+ -activated K + channels. ...
