Organic Acids and Their Salts Potentiate the Activity of Selected Antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms Grown in a Synthetic Cystic Fibrosis Sputum Medium

Xuerui Bao et al.

Summary: The high tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis contributes to the failure of antibiotic therapy. This study identified carbon sources that could enhance the inhibiting and/or eradicating activity of tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and ceftazidime against P. aeruginosa PAO1 biofilms. The mechanisms underlying the enhanced biofilm eradicating activity were strain-dependent.

Hijacking host components for bacterial biofilm formation: An advanced mechanism

Rasoul Mirzaei et al.

Summary: Biofilm is a community of bacteria embedded in the extracellular matrix, accounting for 80% of bacterial infections. It enables bacterial cells to develop resistance to anti-bacterial agents and hijacks host factors to form biofilm. Understanding the interactions between bacterial biofilm and the host is crucial for addressing biofilm-associated infections.

Antibiotic potentiating action of α-PINENE and borneol against EPEC and ETEC sorotypes

Nadghia F. Leite-Sampaio et al.

Summary: This study investigated the antibacterial and antimicrobial modulating activity of alpha-pinene and borneol against Escherichia coli and enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic serotypes. The results showed that alpha-pinene and borneol exhibited low antimicrobial action against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli, but no antimicrobial activity was observed against enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic serotypes. A synergistic action of borneol with ciprofloxacin against enterotoxigenic serotypes was noted.

Accelerative effect of nanohydrogels based on chitosan/ZnO incorporated with citral to heal the infected full-thickness wounds; an experimental study

Omidreza Raei Abbasabadi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of ointments made from ZnO/Chsn/Citl nanoparticles (NPs) in treating infected wounds. The results showed that these nanoparticles exhibited good antibacterial activity and could accelerate wound healing. Compared to the commercial ointment mupirocin, these ointments have the potential to be an alternative for treating infected wounds.

Antimicrobial and antivirulence efficacies of citral against foodborne pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633

Juanjuan Cao et al.

Summary: Citral demonstrated antibacterial activity against V. parahaemolyticus and reduced biofilm formation, motility, and transcription levels of virulence genes. Additionally, it alleviated infection symptoms and reduced the death rate in a zebrafish model. These findings suggest that citral may be a potential alternative therapeutic against V. parahaemolyticus infections in seafood.

Antifouling and Antibacterial Polymer-Coated Surfaces Based on the Combined Effect of Zwitterions and the Natural Borneol

Qiuli Cheng et al.

Summary: By combining zwitterionic MPC with borneol compound, an excellent antifouling and antibacterial surface with superb hydrophilicity was prepared via Schiff-base bond. The copolymer's coordination between MPC and borneol moieties showed effective prevention of protein adsorption and inhibition of bacterial adhesion, making it a potential application in biomedical materials.

Galleria mellonella larvae exhibit a weight-dependent lethal median dose when infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Poppy J. Hesketh-Best et al.

Summary: The study found that weight affects larval mortality following MRSA infection, developed a weight-correlated LD50 model, and proved the stability of G. mellonella as a model within the 180-260 mg range. Additionally, multiple linear models correlating weight with LD50, lipid weight, and larval length were established.

Negative Impact of Citral on Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Antibiotics

Alexandre Tetard et al.

Summary: Citral, the main component of lemongrass oil, can increase Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance to various antibiotics through upregulating efflux pump systems and forming Schiff base with antibiotics, which may impair their binding to bacterial cell surface and reduce their activity. This raises concerns about the potential risk of self-medication with citral-containing essential oils in patients with P. aeruginosa chronic lung infections being treated with aminoglycoside or colistin aerosols.
