DNA methylation is an important component of the epigenetic machinery and plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation. It mostly occurs in CpG abundant regions, known as CpG islands (CGIs). G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) functions as an omega-3 fatty acid receptor and is involved in multiple-biological processes, including lipogenesis. Herein, we show that GPR120 ... more
Psidium guajava (guava) is a fruit tree of the Myrtaceae family of nutritional and economic importance and wide edaphoclimatic adaptation. For commercial orchard purposes, guava trees are derived from clonal propagation and the production cycle begins with drastic pruning. During its development the guava tree displays varied characteristics that may ... more
We evaluated methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T polymorphisms in patients with colorectal cancer in a population-based case-control study in the Azerbaijan population. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples taken from 155 patients with colorectal cancer and 155 healthy individuals. The MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism was detected on agarose ... more
The goal of this study was to characterize the transcriptome of primary bovine mammalian epithelial cells (pBMECs) and to identify candidate genes for response and resistance to Staphylococcus aureus (strain S108), Escherichia coli (strain E23), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (strain K96) infection. Using Solexa sequencing, approximately 4.9 million total sequence tags ... more
Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are opportunistic pathogens that cause nosocomial and food-borne infections. They promote intestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal colonization by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa has rarely been researched. These organisms spread to extra gastrointestinal niches, resulting in increasingly progressive infections ... more
We identified and analyzed 5 new-type enterotoxin genes, including SEj, SEl, SEq, SEm, and SEr, to explore the distribution of 5 enterotoxin genes in Staphylococcus aureus of different origins as well as their correlations and differences. We examined the distribution of the S. aureus enterotoxin genes and their pathogenic ... more
The Staphylococcus aureus is the most common isolated microorganism in ruminant animal species diagnostic with clinical or subclinical mastitis. Dairy herds with these diseases can transfer S. aureus into the milk supply, which can lead to food poisoning in humans. The objective of this study was to evaluate the profile of antimicrobial susceptibility, the presence of femA gene, the genetic ... more
Currently, the use of cell phones is booming within the health system. Since they are frequently used, they have become an important vehicle for nosocomial infections, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most commonly found pathogen. We tested for resistance to beta-lactams in S. aureus isolated from phone screens of senior dentistry students who ... more
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the main pathogens of importance in health care. Distributed worldwide, it has considerable impact on community and nosocomial infections. This bacteria has the tst and lukS-F PV genes that code for the TSST-1 toxin and leucocidin. These pathogenic microorganisms have the ability to survive for long periods ... more
Staphylococcus aureus is a contagious pathogen frequently associated with bovine subclinical mastitis (SCM) cases in Brazil. Molecular characterization of S. aureus allows monitoring of specific features at the strain level, such as transmission routes and antimicrobial resistance, and it can be a helpful tool for implementation of prevention ... more
