Molecular characterization and genetic diversity of multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii clinical isolates

Fariba Lotfi et al.

Summary: The study investigated the relationship between carbapenemase variation and antibiotic resistance profile among A. baumannii strains isolated from Tabriz, North-west Iran. The results showed that MDR and XDR strains were most prevalent in patients under 50 years old, and there was a significant relationship between the presence of the bla(OXA-23) gene and the frequency of XDR strains.

Bio-nano scale modifications of melittin for improving therapeutic efficacy

Mostafa Akbarzadeh-Khiavi et al.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive insight into the strategies used for the conjugation and modification of Melittin (MLT), as well as its cellular delivery and clinical perspectives. MLT, as a natural drug, has remarkable biological properties, but its clinical translation is hindered by low stability, high toxicity, and weak tissue penetration. Various bio-nano scale modifications show promise in improving its functionality and therapeutic efficacy.

Design of a hybrid peptide derived from Melittin and CXCL14-C17: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Safar Farajnia et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to design a novel antimicrobial peptide with high stability and low toxicity. Through fusion between mutant analogs of melittin and CXCL14-C17, and a series of experiments and simulation analysis, the TM1C2 peptide was designed, which showed higher antimicrobial and stability, and more potential for penetration into the lipid membrane.
