Antimicrobial Activity of Dihydroisocoumarin Isolated from Wadi Lajab Sediment-Derived Fungus Penicillium chrysogenum: In Vitro and In Silico Study

Raha Orfali et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major global health concern, and finding new antibiotics or antibiotic adjuvants to inhibit bacterial growth and overcome resistance is crucial. In this study, five potentially antibacterial compounds were discovered from sediment-derived fungus and showed good affinity with bacterial beta-Lactamase enzymes according to molecular docking data.

Fast bacterial growth reduces antibiotic accumulation and efficacy

Urszula Lapinska et al.

Summary: Phenotypic variations in microbial cells, driven by differences in drug transport rates, play a crucial role in the resistance of microbial pathogens to pharmacotherapies. This study used microfluidics-based single-cell microscopy and fluorescent antibiotic probes to identify phenotypic variants that avoid antibiotic accumulation. Surprisingly, fast growing variants were found to avoid macrolide accumulation and survive treatment without genetic mutations, contrary to current consensus. These fast growing variants also showed higher expression of ribosomal promoters, facilitating essential cellular processes and reducing macrolide accumulation. This new knowledge can be used to develop strategies to overcome antibiotic treatment failures.

Chrysophanol from the Roots of Kniphofia Insignis and Evaluation of Its Antibacterial Activities

Asnakew Amare Tadesse et al.

Summary: Sequential extraction of the roots of Kniphofia insignis using cold maceration techniques and column chromatographic separation led to the isolation of chrysophanol. Its structure was established through spectroscopic analyses and comparison with literature. Chrysophanol exhibited better inhibition against P. aeruginosa among the tested bacteria strains.

Bacterial dormancy: A subpopulation of viable but non-culturable cells demonstrates better fitness for revival

Sariqa Wagley et al.

Summary: Members of the Proteobacteria can enter a viable but non culturable (VBNC) state as a survival strategy under stressful conditions. Using Vibrio parahaemolyticus as a model organism, distinct subpopulations in the VBNC state with different resuscitation potentials and proteomic profiles were identified. Deletion of the lactate dehydrogenase gene triggered cells to enter VBNC state, while lactate addition extended resuscitation potential. The ability to survive in VBNC state may be linked to overcoming oxidative stress.

Budh Siltrakool et al.

Summary: Thai community pharmacists demonstrate good knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the use and resistance of antimicrobials. The most commonly encountered infections are upper and lower respiratory tract infections, and the most commonly dispensed antimicrobials are broad-spectrum antibiotics, including aminopenicillins and fluoroquinolones.

Artificial Intelligence and Antibiotic Discovery

Liliana David et al.

Summary: The antibiotic crisis is mainly due to insufficient research, low return on investment, and the difficulty of the research process, leading to an increase in drug-resistant pathogens and threatening public health systems. The application of artificial intelligence technologies can accelerate antibiotic development and reduce costs, helping to solve the current crisis.

Persister Escherichia coli Cells Have a Lower Intracellular pH than Susceptible Cells but Maintain Their pH in Response to Antibiotic Treatment

Olivia Goode et al.

Summary: Persisters have a lower intracellular pH compared to VBNC and susceptible cells even before exposure to antibiotics, which is linked to the activity of the enzyme tryptophanase. In the absence of tryptophanase, there is no difference in intracellular pH among persister, VBNC, and susceptible E. coli cells.Whole-genome transcriptomic analysis showed that the regulation of intracellular pH varies within a clonal population, with a subset of cells displaying differential pH regulation to perform specific functions, including survival after antibiotic treatment.

The Dynamic Transition of Persistence toward the Viable but Nonculturable State during Stationary Phase Is Driven by Protein Aggregation

Liselot Dewachter et al.

Summary: Decades of research into bacterial persistence has been unable to fully characterize this antibiotic-tolerant phenotype, thereby hampering the development of therapies effective against chronic infections. Although some active persister mechanisms have been identified, the prevailing view is that cells become persistent because they enter a dormant state. We therefore characterized starvation-induced dormancy in Escherichia coli. Our findings indicate that dormancy develops gradually; persistence strongly increases during stationary phase and decreases again as persisters enter the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. Importantly, we show that dormancy development is tightly associated with progressive protein aggregation, which occurs concomitantly with ATP depletion during starvation. Persisters contain protein aggregates in an early developmental stage, while VBNC cells carry more mature aggregates. Finally, we show that at least one persister protein, ObgE, works by triggering aggregation, even at endogenous levels, and thereby changing the dynamics of persistence and dormancy development. These findings provide evidence for a genetically controlled, gradual development of persisters and VBNC cells through protein aggregation. IMPORTANCE While persistence and the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state are currently investigated in isolation, our results strongly indicate that these phenotypes represent different stages of the same dormancy program and that they should therefore be studied within the same conceptual framework. Moreover, we show here for the first time that the dynamics of protein aggregation perfectly match the onset and further development of bacterial dormancy and that different dormant phenotypes are linked to different stages of protein aggregation. Our results thereby strongly hint at a causal relationship between both. Because many conditions known to trigger persistence are also known to influence aggregation, it is tempting to speculate that a variety of different persister pathways converge at the level of protein aggregation. If so, aggregation could emerge as a general principle that underlies the development of persistence which could be exploited for the design of antipersister therapies.
