Bacterial chemotaxis in human diseases

Bibi Zhou et al.

Summary: To cause disease, bacteria must localize to specific regions of the host where they can survive. Flagellated pathogens control their localization through chemotaxis based on sensing nutrients, toxins, and cues within the host. This review explores the role of chemotaxis in human diseases, including pathogen colonization, accessing host-derived nutrients, and potential therapeutic strategies for eradicating pathogens.

Combination drug strategies for biofilm eradication using synthetic and natural agents in KAPE pathogens

Anurag Kumar Bari et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a global threat caused by factors such as overuse of antibiotics, lack of awareness, and development of biofilms. The World Health Organization has identified 12 species of bacteria with critical, high, and medium resistance, which cause various infections and have become multidrug or extremely drug resistant. Biofilm-producing pathogens associated with invasive medical devices pose challenges for treatment due to their structurally stable matrix that prevents antibiotic penetration. Combination drug therapies and the use of adjuvants show promising effects in treating biofilm infections.

Tolerance and resistance of microbial biofilms

Oana Ciofu et al.

Summary: Chronic infections caused by microbial biofilms pose a significant clinical challenge due to the resistance of biofilms to antimicrobials and the immune system, leading to persistent and recurrent infections. This Review discusses the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying the tolerance of biofilms to the immune system and to antimicrobials, as well as their role in the development of antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance: progress and challenges in antibiotic discovery and anti-infective therapy

Tino Krell et al.

Summary: The increasing antimicrobial resistance in human, animal and plant pathogens poses a challenge to global health and food production. Traditional antibiotic discovery methods often yield known compounds, emphasizing the need for more rational strategies. Alternative antiinfective therapy approaches targeting bacterial signaling pathways related to virulence are emerging, alongside advancements in high-throughput platforms and chemical synthesis for identifying new antibiotics.

Motility, biofilm formation and associated gene expression in Vibrio parahaemolyticus impaired by co-culture with live Ulva fasciata

Yan Qiao et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate how Ulva fasciata affects the motility and biofilm formation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Results showed that live U. fasciata significantly inhibited the swimming behavior, twitching behavior, and biofilm formation of V. parahaemolyticus, with differentially expressed genes enriched in flagellar assembly, bacterial chemotaxis, and biofilm pathways. This suggests that U. fasciata could be a promising environmentally friendly preventive measure for treating V. parahaemolyticus in mariculture.

Kevin S. Ikuta et al.

Summary: This study provides comprehensive estimates of deaths associated with 33 bacterial pathogens worldwide, highlighting the significant global health burden of bacterial infections. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the top five deadliest pathogens, and the deadliest infectious syndromes and pathogens vary by location and age.

A catalogue of signal molecules that interact with sensor kinases, chemoreceptors and transcriptional regulators

Miguel A. Matilla et al.

Summary: Bacteria have developed various signal transduction systems to sense and respond to signals, with transcriptional regulators, sensor histidine kinases, and chemoreceptors being the most prevalent. These systems use ligand-binding domains (LBDs) to recognize signal molecules and modulate the activity of the output module. By manually retrieving information from publications and 3D structures, the authors classified 811 proteins, revealing the signal profiles and distinguishing between families with promiscuous signal recognition and those with well-defined ligand ranges. This signal repertoire will aid in identifying signaling molecules for uncharacterised sensor proteins.

Effect of resveratrol on the biofilm formation and physiological properties of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli

Xiangchun Ruan et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the mechanism of resveratrol inhibiting biofilm formation of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) based on a label-free differential proteomics. It was indicated that resveratrol inhibits APEC biofilm formation by regulating the levels of proteins in two component systems, especially chemotaxis proteins. Meanwhile, we speculated that pyruvate dehydrogenase might be a potential target to inhibit Escherichia coli biofilm formation. It shows that resveratrol has a potential application prospect in inhibiting the biofilm formation of APEC.

Novel Amiloride Derivatives That Inhibit Bacterial Motility across Multiple Strains and Stator Types

M. I. Islam et al.

Summary: Two novel amiloride derivatives, HM2-16F and BB2-50F, were discovered in this study to inhibit bacterial flagellar motors across various strains, including pathogenic and nonpathogenic ones. These broad-spectrum antimotility compounds are important tools in controlling virulence of pathogens in health and agricultural settings.

Counteracting Bacterial Motility: A Promising Strategy to Narrow Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm in Food Processing Industry

Ibtissem Doghri et al.

Summary: The study explored the efficacy of molecules such as tomatidine, zinc chloride, EDTA, and a complex mixture from CNS exoproducts in counteracting L. monocytogenes biofilm formation. The active molecules showed significant inhibition in the early stage of biofilm development but were ineffective in dispersing mature biofilms. Prevention of surface attachment was associated with disruption of bacterial motility, highlighting the critical role of motility in biofilm formation.

Towards the sustainable discovery and development of new antibiotics

Marcus Miethke et al.

Summary: There is a growing demand for novel antimicrobials to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, but there is currently a lack of investment in this field. New agents with innovative chemistry and modes of action are urgently needed to combat the public health threat posed by antimicrobial resistance. The consortium proposes short-term and long-term solutions to overcome urgent limitations in research and funding, aiming to bridge the gap between academic, industrial, and political stakeholders to improve the ability to discover and develop new antibiotics.

Multiple functions of flagellar motility and chemotaxis in bacterial physiology

Remy Colin et al.

Summary: Swimming bacteria can follow gradients of nutrients and signaling molecules for optimal growth, with chemotaxis enhancing efficiency in environmental colonization. The balance between individual and collective behaviors is crucial, with multiple roles of motility and chemotaxis in bacterial swarming, biofilm formation, and interactions with hosts.

Chemotactic disruption as a method to control bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum

Mattana Tunchai et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that interference with Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum MAFF106611's chemotaxis to L-malate can inhibit infection of tomato plants. L- and DL-malate suppress tomato plant infection by disrupting chemotaxis to L-malate, while D-malate inhibits both chemotaxis to L-malate and growth of the bacterium.

Summary: MBL plays a crucial role in distinguishing self from non-self structures, with its function and concentration affected by various variants and secretor polymorphisms. High levels of MBL may increase susceptibility to diseases, but the level of deficiency is yet to be defined and requires interpretation based on specific population designs for diseases.
