Abstract
A simple and efficient method for obtaining monospecies and binary Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis cultures in sodium alginate gel matrix mimicking the natural microenvironment of the nasal cavity was proposed. The cultures were used for studying the effect of norepinephrine on monospecies and binary communities of two types of bacteria, S. aureus (invasive strain) and S. epidermis (commensal strain). After 24-h incubation, S. aureus predominated in the binary community, but later it was replaced by S. epidermis. Norepinephrine at higher concentrations accelerated this process without principally changing it. The model can be used to develop more effective complex antimicrobial drugs.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
