Diversity of the bacteriocins, their classification and potential applications in combat of antibiotic resistant and clinically relevant pathogens

Gee-Hyeun Choi et al.

Summary: It has been almost a century since the discovery of penicillin, and during this time, there has been great enthusiasm and abuse in the development and use of antibiotics. However, the emergence of antibiotic resistance has led to the realization that new types of antimicrobials are needed. Bacteriocins, produced by various types of bacteria and other organisms, have been explored as potential antimicrobials, particularly in the food industry. In recent decades, bacteriocins have shown promise as alternative therapies for treating antibiotic-resistant pathogens. They are highly selective antimicrobials with low cytotoxicity. The application of natural or bioengineered bacteriocins, along with synergistic combinations of bacteriocins and conventional antibiotics, may be the next step in combating drug-resistant pathogens. This overview focuses on the diversity of lactic acid bacteria and their bacteriocins, but also discusses examples from non-lactic acid bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. The therapeutic properties, bioengineering, and combined applications of bacteriocins with conventional antibiotics are evaluated for their potential in human and veterinary medicine.

The Cins of Our Fathers: Rejuvenated Interest in Colicins to Combat Drug Resistance

Sumudu Upatissa et al.

Summary: With the threat of antibiotic resistance increasing, researchers are exploring alternatives to combat bacterial pathogenesis. Bacteriocins, proteins produced by bacteria, offer promising selective control of bacterial populations due to their diverse mechanisms and narrow spectrum of activities. This review focuses on the application of colicins and microcins, subsets of bacteriocins, against drug-resistant pathogens in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

Predation of colistin- and carbapenem-resistant bacterial pathogenic populations and their antibiotic resistance genes in simulated microgravity

Hyochan Jang et al.

Summary: As mankind explores the possibility of permanently inhabiting outer space and other planets, finding alternatives to antibiotics for controlling drug-resistant pathogens becomes crucial. This study examines the efficacy of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 as an alternative to antibiotics. The results show that the activity of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 is similar or even better in simulated microgravity conditions compared to flask and normal gravity cultures. The study also demonstrates that Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 is effective in killing carbapenem- and colistin-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains and can hydrolyze resistant genes in these clinical isolates. These findings suggest the potential applicability of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 as an antibiotic against multidrug-resistant pathogens during spaceflight.

Pathogenic mono-species biofilm formation on stainless steel surfaces: Quantitative, qualitative, and compositional study

B. R. H. Cervantes-Huaman et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the counts, structure, and composition of biofilms formed by Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus using epifluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results showed that all assessed strains had a high capacity to generate biofilms. The composition of the biofilm matrix varied among the strains. The 3D representations of the biofilms showed no homogeneity or ordered distribution of the components. These findings may contribute to the development of targeted cleaning and disinfection methods.

The Antibiotic Efflux Protein TolC Is a Highly Evolvable Target under Colicin E1 or TLS Phage Selection

Yusuf Talha Tamer et al.

Summary: The study shows that the TolC protein in E. coli is highly optimized for efflux of antibiotics and bile salts, but is very sensitive to mutations under colicin E1 and TLS phage selection pressures. Identifying mutations that increase resistance against colicin E1 or TLS phage without affecting antibiotic susceptibility highlights the evolvability of TolC under negative selection and suggests potential limitations for clinical use of bacteriophages and bacterial toxins.

Summary: Misuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria. Discovery of new antibacterials, such as colicins produced by E. coli, is crucial. ColM is a type of colicin that interferes with peptidoglycan biosynthesis, leading to cell lysis.
