colonization

Cinnamoylglycine, a glycine conjugate of cinnamic acid and a urinary metabolite in humans, is used as a potential urinary biomarker.

1. Deoxyshikonin (Arnebin 7) may be a new drug candidate for wound healing and treatment of lymphatic diseases. 2. Deoxyshikonin enhances the ability of human dermal lymphatic microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-dLy) to undergo time-dependent in vitro cord formation. 3. Deoxyshikonin and dodecyl gallate show significantly synergic antimicrobial activity with penicillin in vivo and in vitro, and can effectively reduce nasopharyngeal and lung colonization caused by different penicillin-resistant pneumococcal serotypes.

Neosartoricin B, a secondary metabolite produced by Aspergilus nidulans, may mediate immunomodulatory interactions with the host during the infection and colonization processes of pathogenic fungi.
