Antibacterial activity of selenium nanoparticles/copper oxide (SeNPs/CuO) nanocomposite against some multi-drug resistant clinical pathogens by Ahmed Morad Asaad, Sara A. Saied, Mohammad M. Torayah, N. I. Abu-Elsaad, Samah Mohammed Awad.

“…The bactericidal activity was higher for gram-negative isolates with MBC/MIC ratios of 1–2 µg/ml for gram-negative, versus 8 µg/ml for gram positive pathogens. Conclusion These findings would support further research in development of a novel Se-NPs/Cu2O nanocomposite as a promising alternative therapeutic option for improving the quality of patients’ management.…”

Two-component system GrpP/GrpQ promotes pathogenicity of uropathogenic Escherichia coli CFT073 by upregulating type 1 fimbria by Xueping Li, Yu Pang, Lingyan Jiang, Le Liu, Jiarui Zhou, Chen Jin, Qian Wang, Hongmin Sun, Qing Li, Zhen Chen, Jingliang Qin, Jianwei Mu, Bin Liu, Qiyue Zhang, Yutao Liu, Lu Feng, Lei Wang

“…This study reported a previously uncharacterized two-component system (TCS) GrpP/GrpQ that directly activates type 1 fimbria expression to promote UPEC invasion and therefore pathogenicity in response to D-serine present in the host urine. grpP/grpQ mutation severely impaired UPEC invasion of BECs and decreased the bacterial burden and formation of intracellular bacterial communities in mouse bladders during acute UTI. grpP/grpQ is widely present in UPEC genomes but rarely in other E. coli genomes, suggesting that this TCS specifically contributes to UPEC evolution. …”
