Engineered Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus: A countermeasure for biofilm-induced periodontitis

Ying Tang et al.

Summary: By utilizing a material-assisted micro-organism (MAMO) strategy with ZnO nanorods engineered Bdellovibrio (ZnO@Bdello), the biofilm composed of Gram-negative bacteria can be effectively eradicated. This strategy demonstrates superior competence in alleviating inflammation and inhibiting bone resorption.

Dynamics of an LPS translocon induced by substrate and an antimicrobial peptide

Francesco Fiorentino et al.

Summary: By investigating the influence of substrate and peptide binding on the conformational dynamics of LptDE, it was revealed that LPS induces opening of the LptD beta-taco domain and antimicrobial peptide thanatin stabilizes the beta-taco, thereby preventing LPS transport. These results suggest a way to develop antimicrobial therapeutics targeting this essential process in Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens.

Design, optimization, and nanotechnology of antimicrobial peptides: From exploration to applications

Peng Tan et al.

Summary: The abuse of antibiotics causing antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to human health, and antimicrobial peptides have become potential antibiotic alternatives due to their unique mechanisms. Despite the problems with natural AMPs, advancements in molecular design, optimization strategies, and nanotechnology have shown potential to improve their properties. Progress in the design and optimization strategies of AMPs lay a theoretical foundation for the development of peptide-based antimicrobial nanomaterials, providing more effective antibiotic alternatives.

Plant Natural Flavonoids Against Multidrug Resistant Pathogens

Meirong Song et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of natural flavonoids from plants against multidrug resistant bacteria, with a focus on the structure-activity relationship analysis of two compounds, alpha-mangostin and isobavachalcone. These compounds show rapid bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and mechanism studies suggest they target bacterial membrane phospholipids. The efficacy of these natural products in infection or contamination models highlights them as a promising and underappreciated resource for combating antibiotic resistance.
