Abstract

Activity of a number of enzymes participating in the processes of structure metabolism and dynamics of inclusion of 14C-aspartate in initial strain of Staphylococcus aureus sensitive to antibiotics and strains containing plasmids of resistance to various antibiotics have been comparatively studied. An increase in activity of fumarate-hydratase, acetyl-KoA-carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and well as true increases (by the rate of inclusion of 14C-aspartate in a number of strains containing plasmids) of resistance to antibiotics as compared to plasmid-less variant are shown. This evidence for strengthening of biosynthetic function of a cycle of tricarbonic acids and, allowing for extremely low activity of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, one can suppose that an open cycle of tricarbonic acids functions in the given strain of staphylococcus. The increase of the level of acetyl-KoA-carboxylase activity evidences for the intensification of lipid synthesis in antibiotic-resistant staphylococci as compared to the sensitive variants.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
