Journal ArticleDOI
Gut Microbiota and Cancer: From Pathogenesis to Therapy
Silvia Vivarelli,Rossella Salemi,Saverio Candido,Luca Falzone,Maria Santagati,Stefania Stefani,Francesco Torino,Giuseppe Luigi Banna,Giuseppe Tonini,Massimo Libra +9 more
TL;DR: Novel strategies integrating probiotics, such as LGG, with conventional anti-cancer therapies are strongly encouraged, because of the tight association between gut microbiota and tumorigenesis, as well as Gut microbiota and anti- cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A variation in 3' UTR of hPTP1B increases specific gene expression and associates with insulin resistance.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the 1484insG allele causes PTP1B overexpression and plays a role in insulin resistance, and individuals carrying the 14 84insG variant might particularly benefit from PTP 1B inhibitors, a promising new tool for treatment of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrolide Efflux Genes mef(A) and mef(E) Are Carried by Different Genetic Elements in Streptococcus pneumoniae
M. Del Grosso,Francesco Iannelli,C. Messina,Maria Santagati,Nicola Petrosillo,Stefania Stefani,Gianni Pozzi,Annalisa Pantosti +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the distinction between the two genes be maintained in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, because of the important different characteristics of the strains carrying mef(A) or me f(E).
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of the ica operon in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and its role in biofilm production.
Viviana Cafiso,Taschia Bertuccio,Maria Santagati,Floriana Campanile,Gianfranco Amicosante,Mariagrazia Perilli,Laura Selan,Marco Artini,Giuseppe Nicoletti,Stefania Stefani +9 more
TL;DR: The results showed that icaRADBC was present in 45% of the isolates included in the study, and that such isolates were significantly more resistant to the main antibiotics tested than were ica-negative isolates, and there was evidence to suggest a correlation when at least two genes (icaAD) were co-transcribed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a Genetic Element Carrying the Macrolide Efflux Gene mef(A) in Streptococcus pneumoniae
TL;DR: The mef(A) gene from a clinical isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae exhibiting the M-type resistance to macrolides was found to be part of the 7,244-bp chromosomal element Tn1207.1, which contained 8 open reading frames.
