Multiple Domains of Staphylococcal Superantigen-like Protein 11 (SSL11) Contribute to Neutrophil Inhibition

Chen Yang et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus produces Staphylococcal superantigen-like proteins (SSLs) that interfere with host immune defense. SSL11 can inhibit cell motility, while SSL7 cannot. Structural analysis reveals specific structural elements and amino acid residues that allow SSL7 to gain SSL11 function.

Two Decades of Studying Functional Amyloids in Microorganisms

Shon A. Levkovich et al.

Summary: Functional amyloids in microbes have shown increasing structural and functional diversity in recent years, expanding the traditional definition of these molecules. Their roles include acting as structural scaffolds, modulating surface tension, serving as adhesion molecules, regulating cell cycle and gametogenesis, functioning as toxins, and mediating host-pathogen interactions. The diverse morphologies and sophisticated regulatory mechanisms of noncanonical amyloids underscore their therapeutic and biotechnological potential.

Biofilms as Promoters of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance and Tolerance

Cristina Uruen et al.

Summary: Multidrug resistant bacteria pose a global threat, but only partially contribute to antibiotic failure. Another factor is the formation of biofilms, which provide an environment that allows bacteria to develop tolerance and resistance to antibiotics.

Anti-biofilm Approach in Infective Endocarditis Exposes New Treatment Strategies for Improved Outcome

Christian Johann Lerche et al.

Summary: Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening infectious disease, where high-dose and long-term antibiotic therapy can improve outcomes, but microbial biofilm formation on affected heart valves can lead to persistent or recurrent cases of infection. Non-antibiotic, antimicrobial approaches targeting biofilm formation may offer potential novel strategies for the treatment of IE caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
