Newest firstListeria monocytogenes (LM) is a major foodborne pathogen causing illnesses ranging from gastroenteritis to severe systemic infections. The key virulence factors include bacterial motility, hemolysin and lecithinase production, and invasion of host tissues. This study investigated the anti-virulence effects of cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-psychoactive compound in Cannabis sativa, against LM. The minimum inhibit…
Open article record in new tab ↗Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect a broad patient population and inflict a substantial financial burden on the U.S. healthcare system. While uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) causes the majority of cases, other pathogens are emerging. Analysis of patient data from our healthcare system in the Gulf Coast region of Alabama revealed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa accounted for 4.0% of UTI cases, roughly double…
Open article record in new tab ↗Klebsiella pneumoniae is a prominent opportunistic pathogen associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) and high morbidity and mortality rates in healthcare settings. The emergence of strains resistant to last-resort antibiotics, such as colistin and carbapenems, poses significant therapeutic challenges. This study presents the complete genome analysis of the MDR strain K. pneumoniae BCSIR-JUMIID to elucidate its g…
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) represent one of the major healthcare-associated infections, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common Gram-negative bacterium associated with catheter infections in Egyptian clinical settings. The present study describes the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of 31 P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from CAUTIs in an Egyptian hospital over a 3-month period. G…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Bacterial populations communicate through the cell density-dependent mechanism of quorum sensing (QS). Vibrio harveyi, one of the best studied model organisms for QS, was used to explore effects of the synthetic cannabinoid HU-210 on QS and different QS-regulated physiological processes in bacteria. Results Analysis of QS-regulated bioluminescence in wild-type and mutant strains of V. harveyi revealed t…
