Inter-species interactions alter antibiotic efficacy in bacterial communities

Michael J. Bottery et al.

Summary: The study found that multidrug-resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia can provide high levels of antibiotic protection to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but is ineffective against another antibiotic. The level of exposure protection against different carbapenems is determined by differences in antibiotic efficacy and inactivation rate.

Potential of Enterococcus faecium LM5.2 for lipopeptide biosurfactant production and its effect on the growth of maize (Zea mays L.)

Lalit K. Chaurasia et al.

Summary: This study characterized the lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from milk and milk products, and investigated their effect on maize plant growth. The findings revealed that the biosurfactants enhanced seedling growth and significantly promoted Zea mays growth.

Nosocomial pathogen biofilms on biomaterials: Different growth medium conditions and components of biofilms produced in vitro

Oscar Alberto Solis-Velazquez et al.

Summary: This study found that nosocomial pathogens can develop biofilms on biomaterials, with lower densities of Gram-negative bacteria in mono-species biofilms compared to dual-species biofilms. Moreover, dual-species biofilms exhibited a higher concentration of proteins and eDNA in the extracellular matrix.

Synergistic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles and various antibiotics combination against Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinically isolated bacterial strains

Alshareef O. Fadwa et al.

Summary: The study investigated the synergistic effect of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles in combination with Meropenem, Ciprofloxacin, and Colistin against P. aeruginosa, showing promising results in reducing bacterial growth and overcoming antibiotic resistance in clinical isolated strains. The combination therapy of Colistin and ZnO NPs at appropriate dosage intervals could be beneficial for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections.

Quorum-sensing regulation of virulence factors in bacterial biofilm

Anjali Warrier et al.

Summary: Chronic polymicrobial wound infections are often characterized by bacterial biofilms, which have elevated antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity. Biofilms help bacteria evade host defense mechanisms and persist longer in the host. Quorum sensing primarily regulates biofilm formation and virulence in chronic infections.

Surfaceome and Exoproteome Dynamics in Dual-Species Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms

Ines Reigada et al.

Summary: When two clinically relevant bacterial pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, co-culture in a biofilm, P. aeruginosa shows higher motility and lower pigment production, while S. aureus exhibits increased persistence due to lower abundances of proteins related to cell wall biosynthesis and cell division. Both species also display higher antimicrobial tolerance when co-cultured. This study provides insights into the dynamics of both the surfaceome and exoproteome of the dual-species biofilms.
