Antimicrobial peptides for tackling cystic fibrosis related bacterial infections: A review

Francesca Bugli et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major global health and social issue that will have significant repercussions on world health and the economy in the near future. To address this, researchers in medical, microbiological, and biochemical fields are exploring the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as an alternative to conventional drugs. This review focuses on the application of AMPs in the specific context of cystic fibrosis (CF), highlighting different types of natural, naturally modified, and synthetic peptides, as well as strategies to overcome barriers and adapt to physiological conditions.

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa: Genetic Adaptation, A Strategy for its Persistence in Cystic Fibrosis

Roberto Rosales-Reyes et al.

Summary: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems, causing chronic lung infections and breathing difficulties. Mutations in the CFTR gene lead to imbalanced intracellular water content, resulting in sticky mucus and bacterial infections that ultimately affect lung function.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa adaptation and evolution in patients with cystic fibrosis

Elio Rossi et al.

Summary: Genome sequencing reveals the phenotypic adaptation and transmission of P. aeruginosa in CF airways, but its limited potential in predicting chronic infection and adaptive state calls for linking phenotypic traits to genome sequences. The environmental conditions of CF lungs shape the genetic and phenotypic changes of P. aeruginosa, leading to its diversity and plasticity.

How to kill Pseudomonas-emerging therapies for a challenging pathogen

Luke N. Yaeger et al.

Summary: As the number of effective antibiotics decreases, antibiotic resistance has become a pressing issue, particularly with some Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates showing resistance to all available antibiotics. Research has identified various mechanisms by which P. aeruginosa evades antibiotics, and there are multiple approaches to overcome resistance, including the use of antimicrobial peptides, rational bacteriophage therapy, and immune-based treatments. Promising avenues for future research include drug combinations, antivirulence therapies, and the development of new antipseudomonal drugs.
