Bacterial motility: machinery and mechanisms

Navish Wadhwa et al.

Summary: Bacteria have developed different mechanisms for motility to utilize resources and environments. They can swim in aqueous media through rotation of helical filaments, or move over solid surfaces using various mechanisms such as twitching, gliding, and sliding. Recent technological advances have improved our understanding of the molecular machinery behind bacterial motility.

Recent development in the design of small 'drug-like' and nanoscale glycomimetics against Escherichia coli infections

Leila Mousavifar et al.

Summary: Glycomimetics that mimic complex carbohydrate structures show potential in pathological processes and combatting antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli infections. Advances in the synthesis of this compound family have been made, with one already in clinical trials for treating Crohn's disease, offering new hope for alternative antibacterial strategies.

High-Throughput Screen for Inhibitors of the Type IV Pilus Assembly ATPase PilB

Keane J. Dye et al.

Summary: The study presents a high-throughput screening (HTS) method for identifying inhibitors specifically targeting the T4P assembly ATPase PilB. Quercetin was identified as a PilB inhibitor in vitro and demonstrated to reduce T4P-dependent motility and assembly in a model bacterium in vivo. This screening assay could be valuable in the development of antivirulence chemotherapeutics targeting PilB in bacterial T4P systems.
