Anti-Staphylococcal Enterotoxinogenesis of in Algerian Raw Milk Cheese.

is a potential pathogen contaminating raw milk and dairy products, where it is able to produce thermostable enterotoxins that can cause staphylococcal food poisoning. This study was undertaken to investigate the inhibitory activity of a strain (isolated from milk) on growth and staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) production. In the presence of , the number of the pathogen decreased significantly...

CAPi: Computational Model for Apicoplast Inhibitors Prediction Against Plasmodium Parasite.

BACKGROUND: Discovery of apicoplast as a drug target offers a new direction in the development of novel anti-malarial compounds, especially against the drug-resistant strains. Drugs such as azithromycin were reported to block the apicoplast development that leads to unusual phenotypes affecting the parasite. This phenomenon suggests that identification of new apicoplast inhibitors will aid in the ...
