Abstract

The activity of succinate, lactate and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenases, as well as acid phosphatase, in the lymphocytes and neutrophils of the blood was studied in noninbred white mice prior to the intraperitoneal injection of 1 LD50 of staphylococcal toxin. As the result of intoxication, a half of the animals died and the other half survived. The two groups of the animals differed in the levels of the activity of succinate dehydrogenase and hyaloplasmatic alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in the neutrophils and lymphocytes, and also differed in the stability of correlations between the activity of succinate and lactate dehydrogenases in the lymphocytes and neutrophils and, besides, between the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in these types of cells.

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.
