Alternative Treatment Strategy

Global warming has led to rising electricity demands due to soaring cooling load, resulting in different technologies being implemented with renewable energy options. Renewable energy has been used to partially or fully operate these cooing systems through different technology routes in both conventional and hybrid modes. The feasibility of a particular cooling process is influenced by several technological, economic, environmental and other related factors. Selection of the appropriate route also requires consideration of external factors such as local weather, cooling load requirements and the potential of possible renewable energy. Multi-criteria decision analysis is a useful tool to systematically arrive at the right option from several possible options. This tool is used to assess the feasibility of eight technology routes for three different climatic conditions. Other than the direct cooling processes, two routes of renewable energy utilization, namely, the solar photovoltaic system and solar thermal system, are considered. The normalized decision matrix is established and weighted decision matrix is estimated, and the best solution and the worst solution values are obtained by using equations. This study is performed for three climatic zones under the Koppen classification, namely, the tropical maritime arid condition with average midday temperature from 40 to 45 °C, with two different relative humidity ranges, namely, dry area and maritime area. Additionally, the temperate continental climatic zone is analyzed for comparison. The results of this study will help decision makers to judiciously implement air conditioning systems in the above climatic zones. The distance of each waste treatment strategy from the overall best alternative treatment strategy and the overall worst alternative treatment strategy is obtained. Finally, the cooling strategies are ranked for the best option for the cooling mechanism to be adopted for the three climatic conditions.

The study of biological properties of filmforming Staphylococcus aureus strains, including its sensitivity to bacteriophages, is one of the important tasks of laboratory diagnostic service that allows, if it necessary, choose an alternative treatment strategy and to establish the sources of strains. In the study of material from the nose and throat of 26 persons-volunteers the strains of S. aureus were selected. Among them 16 (61.5%) were able to form biofilms. Analysis of resistance to phages drugs of filmformation strains of S. aureus showed that 87.5% strains were sensitive the phages drugs "Piobacteriophage" and "Bacteriophage staphylococcal liquid". Phage type was identified for 9 (56.3%) strains. 64.3% of these strains were sensitive to the 1 phage from set, 21.4% – to 2 and 14.3% – 3 phages. It was determined that 77.8% strains were typed by phages from third group. For 1 strain detected simultaneous sensitivity to phages of 2 and 3 groups. With phage 81 (out of group phage) interacted 4 strains: 2 showed sensitivity only to him and another 2 were also susceptible to phage of third group.

Wide Range

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen causing a wide range of infections and food poisoning in humans with antibiotic resistance, specifically to methicillin, compounding the problem. Bacteriophages (phages) provide an alternative treatment strategy, but only infect a limited number of circulating strains and may quickly become ineffective due to bacterial resistance. To overcome these obstacles, engineered phages have been proposed, but methods are needed for efficient transformation of large DNA molecules into S. aureus to boot-up (i.e., rescue) infectious phages. We present a new, efficient and reproducible DNA transformation method, NEST (Non-Electroporation Staphylococcus Transformation), for S. aureus to boot-up of purified phage genomic DNA (at least 150 kb in length tested) and whole yeast-assembled synthetic phage genomes. This method is a powerful new tool for transformation of DNA in S. aureus and will enable the rapid development of engineered therapeutic phages and phage cocktails against Gram-positive pathogens. Importance The continued emergence of antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens has heightened the urgency for alternative antibacterial strategies. Phages provide an alternative treatment strategy, but are difficult to optimize. Synthetic biology approaches have been successfully used to construct and rescue genomes of model phages, but only in a limited number of highly transformable host species. In this study, we used a new, reproducible, and efficient transformation method to reconstitute a functional non-model Siphophage from a constructed synthetic genome. This method will facilitate not only the engineering of Staphylococcus and Enterococcus phages for therapeutic applications but also the engineering of Staphylococcus strains by enabling transformation of higher molecular weight DNA to introduce more complex modifications.
