Abstract

The preparations of alpha/beta- and gamma-interferons have been shown to stimulate the functional activity characteristics of mouse macrophages (phagocytosis, spreading, contacts with lymphocytes, bactericidal properties) obtained from the peritoneal exudate of intact animals and those infected with staphylococci. The immunomodulating action of gamma-interferon is more pronounced than that of the preparation of alpha/beta-interferon.

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.
