Structure of New Ferroverdins Recruiting Unconventional Ferrous Iron Chelating Agents

Loic Martinet et al.

Summary: This study identified 43 novel ferroverdins from the cytosol of two Streptomyces lunaelactis species using high-resolution mass spectrometry. The structure of 13 of these ferroverdins was elucidated and five new alternative chelators for Fe2+-binding were discovered. Additionally, two ferroverdins that do not recruit specific ligands were reported. These findings are significant for the development of new CETP inhibitors or ferroverdins with novel bioactivities.

Fitness cost of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium plasmids associated with hospital infection outbreaks

Ana P. Tedim et al.

Summary: This study found that vancomycin-resistant plasmids can be successfully transferred to different Enterococcus faecium clonal backgrounds, but most plasmids reduce host fitness and the cost of Tn1546 expression varies. The stability of Tn1546-carrying plasmids in the absence of selective pressure and the high intra-species conjugation rates may explain the persistence of vancomycin resistance in E. faecium populations despite their burden on bacterial host strains.
