Summary: An accurate and reliable susceptibility testing method for polymyxins is urgently needed. The agar dilution (AD) method, which has been neglected, showed some advantages over the recommended reference broth microdilution (rBMD) method in terms of repeatability and anti-interference ability. However, more research is needed to determine whether AD is superior to rBMD and broth macrodilution (BMAD).

Summary: A novel test has been developed to assess the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics by measuring changes in impedance, providing a rapid determination of electrical minimum inhibitory concentration (eMIC). This test accurately predicts sensitivity or resistance of bacterial strains to various antibiotics within a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.

Summary: This study investigates the consequences of deforestation in Brazil, particularly in the south-eastern mesoregion of Mato Grosso State. Through analyzing herbarium collections in 22 municipalities, the research identified 5,861 records of angiosperms, ferns, and lycophytes, shedding light on the loss and endangerment of various plant species in the region. Recommendations include increasing collection and identification efforts for effective conservation actions before more of the flora is lost.

Summary: Corn grown as a second crop in Brazil contributes to sustainable land use and reduced deforestation efforts. Evaluating a variety of corn hybrids in Mato Grosso state can help identify more productive varieties. Higher corn grain yields have the potential to improve beef production efficiency and hedge against lower yields in other regions.

Summary: This study proposes a costing method suitable for Integrated Agricultural Production Systems (IAPS) to assess the economic and financial viability of single and intercropped pastures under no-till farming in Mato Grosso. The research findings suggest that SIPA has varying levels of profitability depending on the grass and consortium used, and a comprehensive assessment of production costs can help determine the feasibility of investment returns.

Summary: This study investigated the ethnomedicinal potency of four important plants in the Sikkim Himalayas: Astilbe rivularis, Eupatorium adenophorum, Bergenia ciliata, and Artemisia vulgaris. The methanolic root extracts of these plants were evaluated for their phenolic content, flavonoid content, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. Among the tested extracts, Bergenia ciliata showed the highest phenolic content and exceptional activity against oxidative stress and microbes. The phenolic compounds in Bergenia ciliata and Astilbe rivularis were identified through HPLC analysis. This study provides scientific evidence for the biological activities of these plants and suggests Bergenia ciliata and Astilbe rivularis as potential candidates for drug development.

Summary: The hydroethanolic extract from Fridericia chica's dry leaves underwent several fractionations to isolate scutellarein and carajurone. The extract and scutellarein showed no cytotoxicity, with HEFc demonstrating good antibacterial properties against Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The mode of action of HEFc appeared to involve changes in bacterial membrane permeability and nucleotide leakage.
