Compositions and methods to boost endogenous ros production from bacteria

TL;DR: In this article, compositions and methods comprising ROS target modulators that increase ROS flux and endogenous ROS production, thereby potentiating oxidative attack by antibiotics and biocides are presented and compared.

Transformation by Simian Virus 40 of Spleen Cells from a Hyperimmune Rabbit: Evidence for Synthesis of Immunoglobulin by the Transformed Cells (cloning/coprecipitation/autoradiography/differentiated)

TL;DR: In this article, a trans-formed cell line from a rabbit hyper-immunized with a Type III pneumococcal vaccine was found to be capable of producing rabbit immunoglobulin of the IgG class.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continuous bioactivity-dependent evolution of an antibiotic biosynthetic pathway.

TL;DR: This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that features of natural bioactivity-dependent evolution can be engineered to access unforeseen routes of improving metabolic pathways and product yields and improves antibiotic production in a new host.

Compositions and methods for antibiotic potentiation and drug discovery

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide methods for identifying target genes whose partial or complete functional inactivation potentiates the activity of an antibiotic agent, e.g., a quinolone antibiotic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Point-of-Care Devices to Detect Zika and Other Emerging Viruses.

TL;DR: This review describes the identification of lateral flow immunoassay monoclonal antibody pairs that detect and distinguish between closely related pathogens and that are used in combination with functionalized multicolored nanoparticles and computational methods to deconvolute data.
