Ensuring the safety of the use of probiotics is a top priority. We found that increased resistance to popular antimicrobial drugs in
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum
is accompanied by significant changes in the genomic profile and phenotypic sensitivity to a number of antimicrobial drugs as well as in the level of virulence of this bacterium against
Drosophila
.
Using the Drosophila melanogaster model object, the presence of protective properties in 10% of Prunella grandiflora L. (Lamiaceae) extract was determined in relation to the toxic and cytotoxic effects of the antitumor drug etoposide in two concentrations of 800 and 8000 µg/kg of nutrient medium. The grass P. grandiflora was collected in the flowering phase in Sverdlovsk region (N 56°09'22.0'', E 058°32'19.6'') in 2021. No genotoxic manifestations of the extract were found. Comparative characteristics of wing parameters under the influence of etoposide at a dose of 800 and 8000 mg showed significant differences in linear and two-dimensional parameters of the wing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
