The principal objective of this study was to determine the in vitro antibacterial activity of the water-soluble protein enzymatic hydrolysates and the ethanol (EtOH)-extracted fraction obtained from fly-maggots (Musca domestica L.) against MRSA (methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strains and VRE (Vancomycin-resistant enterococci) 5117 strain. The water soluble protein enzymatic hydrolysates were prepared via 4 or 8 hr of incubation after mixing with the water-soluble protein…

Identification of proteins in housefly (Musca domestica) larvae powder by LC-MS/MS and their potential medical relevance

A variety of highly trusted proteins, including catalysis-related proteins, antioxidant proteins and antimicrobial peptides, which may be closely related to the anti-tumor, anti-bacterial,Anti-oxidant and other pharmacological effects of HL are identified.

Rapid detection of live methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by using an integrated microfluidic system capable of ethidium monoazide pre-treatment and molecular diagnosis.

The microfluidic system has been demonstrated to have 100% specificity to detect live MRSA with S. aureus and other pathogens commonly found in hospitals, and may be a powerful tool for the rapid molecular diagnosis ofLive MRSA.
