Role of the two-component system AmgRS in early resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to cinnamaldehyde by Eline Dubois, Vladimir Spasovski, Patrick Plésiat, Catherine Llanes

“…Altogether, these data suggest that efflux-dependent and -independent mechanisms are activated in the early phase of CNA exposure, allowing for progressive enzymatic reduction of the biocide to non-toxic cinnamic alcohol.IMPORTANCEExposure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to cinnamaldehyde (CNA), an antimicrobial used in self-medication, induces overproduction of the MexAB-OprM efflux system, leading to multidrug resistance. …”

Immunolocalization of SP22 (Park7) on the human sperm membrane is indicative of live birth by Gary R Klinefelter, Michael P Diamond, Stephen A Krawetz

“…More than twenty years have passed since we discovered a novel sperm membrane protein (SP22) derived from the Park7 gene that is highly correlated with the fertility of rat sperm exposed to epididymal toxicants. We subsequently discovered that SP22 originates in the testis and is also compromised during exposure to testicular toxicants. …”
