Pleiotropic actions of phenothiazine drugs are detrimental to Gram-negative bacterial persister cells

Sayed Golam Mohiuddin et al.

Summary: Metabolic inhibitors such as phenothiazines have been found to disrupt persister levels in metabolically active cell populations and sensitize intrinsically tolerant stationary phase cells to ofloxacin. These inhibitors exhibit pleiotropic effects on cell metabolism and physiology, impairing cellular activities and membrane integrity, potentially relying on their ability to inhibit critical metabolic proteins.

Active maintenance of proton motive force mediates starvation-induced bacterial antibiotic tolerance in Escherichia coli

Miaomiao Wang et al.

Summary: The proton motive force (PMF) plays a crucial role in bacterial energy metabolism and disruption of PMF could be a potential strategy for treating bacterial infections. Active maintenance of PMF is essential for prolonged expression of antibiotic tolerance in bacteria, and eradication of tolerant sub-population may be achieved by disrupting PMF or suppressing PMF maintenance mechanisms.

Staphylococcal Bacterial Persister Cells, Biofilms, and Intracellular Infection Are Disrupted by JD1, a Membrane-Damaging Small Molecule

Jamie L. Dombach et al.

Summary: The small molecule JD1 disrupts cell membranes of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, reducing viable bacteria within persister populations, biofilms, and infected mammalian cells. This highlights the importance of testing novel compounds under relevant infection conditions to fully understand their potential effectiveness against multidrug-resistant bacteria.

The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Antibiotics: Methods, Interpretation, Clinical Relevance

Beata Kowalska-Krochmal et al.

Summary: The inefficiency of medical therapies for curing patients with bacterial infections calls for active search for new therapeutic strategies and careful selection of antibiotics based on various parameters including microbiological considerations. Proper assessment of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies and ensuring the effectiveness of infection therapy. This paper discusses methods for MIC estimation, factors influencing MIC results, and possibilities of utilizing MIC in clinical practice with consideration of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters.

Antimicrobial Activity and Mode of Action of Celastrol, a Nortriterpen Quinone Isolated from Natural Sources

Nayely Padilla-Montano et al.

Summary: Celastrol, a compound isolated from Celastraceae plants, exhibits high antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis, causing cytoplasmic membrane disruption, and inhibiting microbial oxygen consumption. This suggests celastrol as a potential alternative for controlling outbreaks caused by spore-forming bacteria.
