Anti-biofilm activities of coumarin as quorum sensing inhibitor for Porphyromonas gingivalis

Zhiyan He et al.

Summary: This research focused on studying the effect of coumarin on the formation of Porphyromonas gingivalis biofilm, a key pathogen in periodontitis. The results showed that coumarin inhibited the growth of P. gingivalis and caused damage to cell morphology at concentrations above 400 μM. Sub-MIC concentrations of coumarin did not affect cell surface properties, aggregation, attachment, or early-stage biofilm formation. However, it demonstrated anti-biofilm effects on late-stage biofilms and pre-formed biofilm dispersion. The biofilms treated with coumarin became interspersed, and the expression of biofilm-related genes was downregulated. Coumarin also inhibited AI-2 activity and interacted with the HmuY protein through molecular docking analysis.

Biofilm Formation in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated in Cystic Fibrosis Patients Is Strain-Dependent and Differentially Influenced by Antibiotics

Agathe Boudet et al.

Summary: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that makes patients particularly susceptible to pulmonary infections, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most frequently identified pathogen. Multidrug-resistant strains have been associated with more severe lung dysfunction. This study compared the ability of genotyped MRSA isolates from CF patients to form biofilms, revealing challenges in antimicrobial therapy and the potential for some MRSA strains to adapt to the CF lung environment over time.

Biomimetic enterobactin analogue mediates iron-uptake and cargo transport into E. coli and P. aeruginosa

Robert Zscherp et al.

Summary: The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of the artificial enterobactin analogue Ent(KL) and its fluorophore-conjugates are described in this study. Ent(KL) can promote the growth of Gram-negative pathogens and has a iron binding constant similar to natural enterobactin. The conjugates are recognized by outer membrane siderophore receptors and can deliver molecular cargos to bacterial cells.
