Environmental pollution is a serious problem that can cause sicknesses, fatality, and biological contaminants such as bacteria, which can trigger allergic reactions and infectious illnesses. There is also evidence that environmental pollutants can have an impact on the gut microbiome and contribute to the development of various mental health and metabolic disorders. This study aimed to study the antibiotic resistance and virulence potential of environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) isolates in slaughterhouses. A total of 100 samples were collected from different slaughterhouse tools. The samples were identified by cultural and biochemical tests and confirmed by the VITEK 2 system. P. aeruginosa isolates were further confirmed by CHROMagarTM Pseudomonas and genetically by rpsL gene analysis. Molecular screening of virulence genes (fimH, papC, lasB, rhlI, lasI, csgA, toxA, and hly) and antibiotic resistance genes (blaCTX-M, blaAmpC, blaSHV, blaNDM, IMP-1, aac(6')-Ib-, ant(4')IIb, mexY, TEM, tetA, and qnrB) by PCR and testing the antibiotic sensitivity, biofilm formation, and production of pigments, and hemolysin were carried out in all isolated strains. A total of 62 isolates were identified as P. aeruginosa. All P. aeruginosa isolates were multidrug-resistant and most of them have multiple resistant genes. blaCTX-M gene was detected in all strains; 23 (37.1%) strains have the ability for biofilm formation, 33 strains had virulence genes, and 26 isolates from them have more than one virulence genes. There should be probably 60 (96.8%) P. aeruginosa strains that produce pyocyanin pigment. Slaughterhouse tools are sources for multidrug-resistant and virulent pathogenic microorganisms which are a serious health problem. Low-hygienic slaughterhouses could be a reservoir for resistance and virulence genes which could then be transferred to other pathogens.

The antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) limit the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobials, representing a problem of high importance. Current research on the presence of ARGs in microorganisms focuses mainly on humans, livestock, hospitals, or wastewater. However, the spectrum of ARGs in the dust resistome in workplaces and households has gone relatively unexplored. This pilot study aimed to analyze resistome in indoor dust samples from participants' workplaces (a pediatric hospital, a maternity hospital, and a research center) and households and compare two different approaches to the ARGs analysis; high-throughput quantitative PCR (HT-qPCR) and whole metagenome shotgun sequencing (WMGS). In total, 143 ARGs were detected using HT-qPCR, with ARGs associated with the macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramin B (MLSB) phenotype being the most abundant, followed by MDR (multi-drug resistance) genes, and genes conferring resistance to aminoglycosides. A higher overall relative quantity of ARGs was observed in indoor dust samples from workplaces than from households, with the pediatric hospital being associated with the highest relative quantity of ARGs. WMGS analysis revealed 36 ARGs, of which five were detected by both HT-qPCR and WMGS techniques. Accordingly, the efficacy of the WMGS approach to detect ARGs was lower than that of HT-qPCR. In summary, our pilot data revealed that indoor dust in buildings where people spend most of their time (workplaces, households) can be a significant source of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms, which may potentially pose a health risk to both humans and animals.

Introduction: Olive (Olea uropeae) is a traditional plant containing oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, which are useful and used empirically for treating diabetes mellitus.Objective: To review the potential of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol as an evidence base for diabetes potential treatment and safety.Methods: This chapter summarizes several studies available on Pubmed and Google Scholar regarding the characteristic method and extraction method as well as the effectiveness and toxicity of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol in vitro and in vivo.Result: Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are effective antihyperglycemics for treating T2D. They can reduce body weight, basal glycemia, and insulin resistance by stopping the liver from making glucose and stopping the body from absorbing glucose. Several studies have shown that both isolates can control glycemic levels equivalent to free fatty acids and are safe to use.Conclusion: Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are extracted by several methods and can be used as potential anti-diabetics with obesity risk factors. Evidence shows that both isolates are safe for both acute and chronic use.

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a significant challenge to the treatment of infectious diseases. Of particular concern are members of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC), which are frequently associated with hospital-acquired infections and have the potential to spread outside hospitals via wastewaters. In this study, we aimed to investigate the occurrence and phylogenetic relatedness of MDR KpSC from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs), hospital sewage, municipal wastewater treatment plants (mWWTPs) and surface waters and to evaluate the clinical relevance of the KpSC subspecies. METHODS: A total of 372 KpSC isolates resistant to third-generation cephalosporins and/or meropenem were collected from patients (n = 130), hospital sewage (n = 95), inflow (n = 54) and outflow from the mWWTPs (n = 63), river upstream (n = 13) and downstream mWWTPs (n = 17) from three cities in the Czech Republic. The isolates were characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing (Illumina). The presence of antibiotic resistance genes, plasmid replicons and virulence-associated factors was determined. A phylogenetic tree and single nucleotide polymorphism matrix were created to reveal the relatedness between isolates. RESULTS: The presence of MDR KpSC isolates (95%) was identified in all water sources and locations. Most isolates (99.7%) produced extended-spectrum beta-lactamases encoded by blaCTX-M-15. Resistance to carbapenems (5%) was observed mostly in wastewaters, but carbapenemase genes, such as blaGES-51 (n = 10), blaOXA-48 (n = 4), blaNDM-1 (n = 4) and blaKPC-3 (n = 1), were found in isolates from all tested locations and different sources except rivers. Among the 73 different sequence types (STs), phylogenetically related isolates were observed only among the ST307 lineage. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the transmission of this lineage from patients to the mWWTP and from the mWWTP to the adjacent river and the presence of the ST307 clone in the mWWTP over eight months. We confirmed the frequent abundance of K. pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae sensu stricto and K. pneumoniae subsp. ozaenae) in patients suffering from UTIs. K. variicola isolates formed only a minor proportion of UTIs, and K. quasipneumoniae was not found among UTIs isolates; however, these subspecies were frequently observed in hospital sewage communities during the first sampling period. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence of the transmission and persistence of the ST307 lineage from UTIs isolates via mWWTPs to surface waters. Isolates from UTIs consisted mostly of K. pneumoniae. Other isolates of KpSC were observed in hospital wastewaters, which implies the impact of sources other than UTIs. This study highlights the influence of urban wastewaters on the spread of MDR KpSC to receiving environments.

Trichomoniasis, a globally distributed sexually transmitted infection, is caused by the urogenital parasite Trichomonas vaginalis Donné, 1836 affecting both women and men. The treatment of choice is metronidazole (MTZ). In the present study, 15 samples of vaginal discharge and urine were analysed by sequencing nitroreductase genes (ntr4 and ntr6). An in silico model was structured to illustrate the location of point mutations (PM) in the protein. The ntr4 gene presented four PMs: G76C (10/10), C213G (9/10), C318A (5/10) and G424A (1/10), while the ntr6 gene had eight PMs; G593A (13/13) the most frequent, G72T and G627C, both in 8/13. The PM C213G and A438T generated a stop codon causing a truncated nitroreductase 4 and 6 protein. Docking analysis demonstrated that some models had a decrease in binding affinity to MTZ (p < 0.0001). A high frequency of mutations was observed in the samples analysed that could be associated with resistance to MTZ in Chile.

Breast cancer is a prevalent and aggressive disease characterized by high metastasis, recurrence, and mortality rates. While cisplatin is an effective chemotherapy drug, its use is limited by its toxic effects on the body. Despite advancements in therapeutic strategies, the therapeutic response is often unsatisfactory due to drug resistance, leading to poor prognosis. Recent studies have shown that cisplatin interacts with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and accelerates the development of resistance in tumor cells to therapy. This interaction highlights the complex mechanisms involved in the response of cancer cells to chemotherapy. Several lncRNAs have been identified as key players in mediating cisplatin resistance in breast cancer. These lncRNAs include SNHG15, HULC, HCP5, MT1JP, LncMat2B, DLX6-ASL, Linc00665, CARMN, and Lnc-EinRP44-3:6. These lncRNAs have been shown to target microRNAs and mRNAs and modulate the expression of genes involved in cisplatin resistance, which is important in treating breast cancer.

The current global scenario presents us with a growing increase in infections caused by fungi, referred to by specialists in the field as a "silent epidemic", aggravated by the limited pharmacological arsenal and increasing resistance to this therapy. For this reason, drug repositioning and therapeutic compound combinations are promising strategies to mitigate this serious problem. In this context, this study investigates the antifungal activity of the non-toxic, low-cost and widely available cationic polyelectrolyte Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), in combination with different antifungal drugs: systemic (amphotericin B, AMB), topical (clioquinol, CLIO) and oral (nitroxoline, NTX). For each combination, different drug:PDDA ratios were tested and, through the broth microdilution technique, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these drugs in the different ratios against clinically important Candida species strains was determined. Overall, PDDA combinations with the studied drugs demonstrated a significant increase in drug activity against most strains, reaching MIC reductions of up to 512 fold for the fluconazole resistant Candida krusei (Pichia kudriavzevii). In particular, the AMB-PDDA combination 1:99 was highly effective against AMB-resistant strains, demonstrating the excellent profile of PDDA as an adjuvant/association in novel antifungal formulations with outdated conventional drugs.
