Summary: This article summarizes the relationship between Staphylococcus and neoplasms, as well as the mechanisms involved. Staphylococcus has been found to be closely associated with the occurrence and development of various cancers through different pathways, and the SNases of Staphylococcus and the human homologue SND1 have also been implicated in cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated the adhesion and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus on vascular grafts. Results showed that triclosan-impregnated grafts were the most effective in preventing adhesion and biofilm formation, while silver impregnation and collagen coating were less effective than expected.

Summary: The study revealed that Staphylococcus aureus affects dermal fibroblasts, leading to impaired tissue repair functions such as upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and degradation of collagen. This impact is not limited to specific cell sources and affects key mechanisms of wound healing.

Summary: Triclosan is a widely used chemical with potential health effects. It may contribute to various health issues and can penetrate different body barriers. Chronic overuse and bioaccumulation of Triclosan may worsen antibiotic resistance. Research has shifted from its medical use to studying its indirect effects through environmental contamination. Global attention to Triclosan has increased, with China being a significant contributor.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the antibiofilm effects of punicalagin against Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that punicalagin significantly reduced the biomass and metabolic activity of biofilms, decreased the number of viable cells, and damaged the structure of biofilms. The antibiofilm mechanism partly involved the modification of cell surface hydrophobicity. These findings suggest that punicalagin has the potential to be developed as an alternative to control S. aureus biofilms.

Summary: Orthologues of S. aureus and S. epidermidis produced similar pathological changes in the mouse gut, including villi atrophy, generation of villi gap, and villi edema. These toxins also affected T cell activation and proliferation in the gut.

Summary: The inhibitory mechanism of CUM on Staphylococcus aureus exotoxins and invasive enzyme was investigated, and the effect on sauced beef was also studied. The results showed that CUM effectively restrained the synthesis of S. aureus toxins and inhibited the growth of food pathogens in sauced beef, while maintaining its quality.

Summary: This study found that Daptomycin (DAP) has a synergistic effect on MRSA biofilms, enhancing the damage caused by human polymor-phonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Additionally, DAP can modulate the immune response of human monocytes (MNCs) to MRSA biofilms through upregulation of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and increased NLRP3 inflammasome production, potentially controlling biofilm-associated pathogenicity.

Summary: Ultrasounds are considered a good alternative technology in juice preservation, and when combined with heat treatment, it can more effectively reduce the survival of Staphylococcus aureus in orange juice compared to heat treatment alone. This study showed a synergistic effect between sonication and high temperatures, leading to improved microbial reduction and membrane damage in cells.
