Abstract

The cationic peptide (68)Ga-NOTA-UBI-29-41 was synthesized and characterized. Biodistribution and PET/CT examinations were performed for evaluation of its biologic behavior. Differentiation of infection from sterile inflammation was investigated using microbiology methods at the sites of bacterial infections. Labeling of UBI-29-41 conjugated with NOTA with (68)Ga was optimized at 20°C-100°C and pH 3.5-5.5. Radiochemical purity, stability up to 260 min, and binding to serum proteins were determined. In vitro binding to Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated from 9.14 × 10(7) to 1.17 × 10(10) cfu/mL. Of 3 groups of Mus musculus Swiss male mice, the first was inoculated intramuscularly with 1.2 × 10(8) cfu of S. aureus to provoke infection, and the second, with 1.2 × 10(8) cfu of heat shock-treated S. aureus to generate sterile inflammation. The third mouse was not treated and served as a control. After 24 h, (68)Ga-NOTA-UBI-29-41 was administrated intravenously, and biodistribution was performed at 30, 60, and 120 min. PET/CT dynamic studies (120 min) were acquired. Sinograms were reconstructed using 3D maximum-likelihood expectation maximization and analyzed with software. Infected or inflamed muscles were dissected, homogenized, a...Continue Reading

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
