Inhibition of Streptococcus pyogenes biofilm by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus

Alejandro Gómez-Mejía, Mariano Orlietti, Andrea Tarnutzer, Srikanth Mairpady Shambat, Annelies Sophie Zinkernagel

This study shows that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus reduce Streptococcus pyogenes viability in planktonic and biofilm cultures through glycolipid compounds.

Atypical N-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 impairs the efficient binding of Spike-RBM to the human-host receptor hACE2

Gustavo Gámez, J.A. Hermoso, César Carrasco‐López, Alejandro Gómez-Mejía, Carlos Muskus, Sven Hammerschmidt

The paper investigates how atypical N-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2's spike protein affects its binding to hACE2, revealing structural and functional implications for viral transmission.
