It has proved to be effective only for certain parasite species and specific target genes. To date, RNAi is the only methodology available for reverse genetics in trematodes and combined to rescue studies (such heterologous complementation) have been the only alternative to genetic manipulation in nematodes and helminths parasites, thus this subject is of great interest to the scientific community involved in the field. \u0000The RNAi technique is widely used to assess gene function in helminths parasites, in order to elucidate their role in parasite development, mechanisms of drug resistance, and validate therapeutic targets for disease control. \u0000After fifteen years of the first report of RNAi in parasitic helminths, many advances have been achieved, but pitfalls remain as challenges in gene expression manipulation in these organisms. In addition to the methodological particularities of the RNAi technique for each group of helminths, there are still other reasons behind the slow progress of RNAi in those parasites, such; the lack of homology between genes related to parasitism and genes of model organisms and the complex life cycle of these organisms, which results in difficulties for in vitro cultivation. \u0000At this point, a wide assortment of approaches for doubled stranded RNA “delivery” has been proposed. Thus, deeper studies on fundamental aspects of the RNAi methodology in parasitic helminths, such as off-target and the use of controls, can be useful in determining the reason of variations between and within species, facilitating the experimental design and the use of RNAi in the study and eradication of helminths parasites.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78598529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite of this encouraging trend, in the last years the epidemiology of tuberculosis changed and today it is a re-emerging infectious. The aim of this study is to measure the prevalence of positivity to tuberculosis infection (latent TB) in students, without any obvious manifestation of disease, attending degree courses of the health care professions and postgraduate medical courses of the School of Medicine of the University of Palermo, Italy. \u0000Materials and methods: A cross-sectional observational study in students of nursing, midwifery, dentistry degree courses and in resident physicians of postgraduate medical schools was carried out from January 2012 to July 2016. Mantoux test was performed and all positive cases were tested with Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA). \u0000Results: The 1,351 subjects evaluated, 25 (1.8%) resulted positive to Mantoux test; in 17 students (1.2%) the diagnosis was confirmed with IGRA. Positive cases were significantly more frequent among students attending Postgraduated Medical School Courses (p<0.001) and were older than negative cases (p<0.001). \u0000Conclusion: This study suggests that in our geographic area, latent TB shows a relatively low prevalence among students of medical schools. Despite of this evidence, and considering that several students have been found to be positive for TB, this infectious disease has to be considered a re-emerging biohazard that requires preventive strategies for the containment of the risk in exposed workers as well as in the general population.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82425315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ultimately leads to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and dendritic disintegration.

With the evolution scientifictechnical, the man was able to synthesize new antibacterial substances, on the other hand the mechanisms of gene evolution enabled the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Some of this organisms are frequent on hospital environment and have high adaptability to new drugs, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. resistant to oxacillin and vancomycin, considered drugs of choice against multidrug-resistant microorganisms. So, a new antibiotics class was developed, superior to vancomycin and oxazolidinone, the linezolid. Thus, the present study aimed at understanding the use of linezolid in drug therapy against multi-resistant bacteria. To perform this study, a literature review of last 10 years was performed. In 2002, after the liberation of the use of linezolid as treatment for infectious processes against gram-positive bacteria, this drug was commonly used throughout the world. Similarly, the pressure of natural selection stood out, and there were records of resistant strains to linezolid. As prospects for control of infections caused by these resistant strains, was approved by the FDA in 2014 the use of drugs with linezolid resistant anti-strains activity. However, we conclude that, in addition to natural selection and genetic variation process, human behavior regarding the use of antibiotics, increases the selection of resistant microorganisms to antibiotic, including linezolid.","PeriodicalId":15045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology","volume":"110 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76061825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
