A high-throughput phenotypic screen based on a Citrobacter freundii AmpC reporter expressed in Escherichia coli was executed to discover novel inhibitors of bacterial cell wall synthesis, an attractive, well-validated target for antibiotic intervention. Here we describe the discovery and characterization sulfonyl piperazine pyrazole compounds, each with mechanisms action. E. mutants resistant these compounds display no cross-resistance antibiotics other classes. Resistance maps LpxH, which...

Prior research has suggested that family businesses may have a higher proclivity to behave as good corporate citizens, compared with non-family firms, which impact financial performance. However, while this idea is intuitively appealing, the actual antecedents of citizenship behaviour in firm context not yet been assessed systematically. In addition, empirical evidence regarding on performance remains inconclusive. Drawing from literature business goals and citizenship, our conceptual...

Abstract An NMR‐based approach marries the two traditional screening technologies (phenotypic and target‐based screening) to find compounds inhibiting a specific enzymatic reaction in bacterial cells. Building on previous study which it was demonstrated that hydrolytic decomposition of meropenem living Escherichia coli cells carrying New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase subclass 1 (NDM‐1) can be monitored real time by NMR spectroscopy, we designed cell‐based platform. A strong NDM‐1 inhibitor...

Green products have been available since the 1970's, but recently there has an influx of green in marketplace. These met with excitement and skepticism on part consumers who either believe conservation our planet, or feel they are being "green washed" by companies produce these products. Our research looks at consumer intentions to purchase based their experience, expectations, norms referent groups, greater availability. predictors will impact level sales. Data collected from is analyzed...

Environmentally friendly products have been available since the 1970s receiving both praise and skepticism on part of consumers. More recently, product focus has shifted towards a product's social, economic, environmental concerns (sustainable products). While consumers admit they would buy sustainable products, this behavior is currently not occurring at point purchase. This research contributes to existing literature by further exploring why consumer's likelihood purchase translated into...

In today’s tumultuous society, consumers ask companies not only what they stand for but also are ready to up and protect. Accordingly, becoming more concerned about sustainable products that benefit the society its economy environment, which is essential save planet. Consequently, may be positively inclined towards such during their purchase decisions. in this study, four first-order constructs, including consumption level, values, waste reduction, defaults were examined light of...

Through their distinct cultures, families that own firms have a unique ability to convey sense of affiliation and belonging non-family employees. Such identification can impact employees in variety ways. It lead increased levels loyalty, trust performance; but it also potential negative effects, such as feelings entitlement or even fraudulent behavior. The purpose this exploratory research is determine how develop strong identities with the owning family, under which conditions leads...
