Background: Staphylococcus aureus can cause many diseases and even death. It's important to detect Staphylococcus aureus rapidly and reliably. The accuracy of a novel test named LAMP in detecting Staphylococcus aureus is unclear. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the LAMP assay for Staphylococcus aureus detection.
Methods: Four databases were searched for relevant studies. Meta-DiSc 1.4.0 and Stata 12.0 were used for statistical analysis. At the same time, we used QUADAS-2 to assess the studies we included. Two groups of subgroup analysis were done to differentiate the diagnostic effects of various LAMP tests and in cases of different gold standards.
Results: 11 studies were identified and 19 2 × 2 contingency tables were extracted in our study. The results showed that both pooled sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay were 99% (95% CI 99-100).
Conclusion: The LAMP assay demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing Staphylococcus aureus.

Bacterial infection in the injured skin may threaten the wound repair and skin regeneration owing to aggravated inflammation. The multifunctional dressings with persistent antibacterial activity and improved anti-inflammatory capability are urgently required. Herein, a type of heterogeneous zinc/catechol-derived resin microspheres (Zn/CFRs) composed of zinc ions (Zn) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was developed to impart the methacrylamide chitosan (CSMA)-oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) hydrogel with a persistent Zn release behavior.

Oral and maxillofacial space infection (OMSI) progresses rapidly, and when combined with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), it can become a serious and life-threatening condition. Cases of OMSI with concurrent DKA are relatively rare. This case report describes a young man who developed OMSI caused by methicillin-resistant in the setting of DKA.

Punicalagin, a polyphenolic compound extracted from pomegranate peel, has received increasing attention in recent years due to its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Punicalagin is capable of inhibiting bacterial growth at sub-inhibitory concentrations by affecting cell membrane formation, disrupting membrane integrity, altering cell permeability, affecting efflux pumps, interfering with quorum sensing and influencing virulence factors. Additionally, punicalagin inhibits viruses by modulating enzyme activity, interacting with viral surface proteins, affecting gene expression, blocking viral attachment, disrupting virus receptor interaction and inhibiting viral replication.

genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 systems is generating worldwide attention and enthusiasm for the possible treatment of genetic disorders. However, the consequences of potential immunogenicity of the bacterial Cas9 protein and the AAV capsid have been the subject of considerable debate. Here, we model the antigen presentation in cells after gene editing by transduction of a human cell line with an AAV2 vector that delivers the Cas9 transgene.

Background: () Resin has been used in traditional medicine for millennia because of its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound-healing characteristics. Recent research has proved its medicinal promise, particularly against resistant bacterial strains and oxidative stress.
Objective: This study seeks to assess the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of resin, extracted with ethanol, and to formulate a topical cream for dermatological use, specifically targeting skin infections and inflammatory conditions such as acne.
