Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Impact of Acquired and Intrinsic Fosfomycin Resistance.

Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland)

Castañeda-García A, Blázquez J, Rodríguez-Rojas A.
PMID: 27029300
Antibiotics (Basel). 2013 Apr 16;2(2):217-36. doi: 10.3390/antibiotics2020217.

Bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant isolates have become a major health problem in recent years, since they are very difficult to treat, leading to an increase in morbidity and mortality. Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic that inhibits cell...

The endolysin from the Enterococcus faecalis bacteriophage VD13 and conditions stimulating its lytic activity.

FEMS microbiology letters

Swift SM, Rowley DT, Young C, Franks A, Hyman P, Donovan DM.
PMID: 27634307
FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2016 Oct 01;363(19). doi: 10.1093/femsle/fnw216.

Bacteriophages produce endolysins (peptidoglycan hydrolases) to lyse the host cell from within and release nascent bacteriophage particles. Recombinant endolysins can lyse Gram-positive bacteria when added exogenously. As a potential alternative antimicrobial, we cloned and expressed the enterococcal VD13 bacteriophage...

The Peptidoglycan Pattern of Staphylococcus carnosus TM300-Detailed Analysis and Variations Due to Genetic and Metabolic Influences.

Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland)

Deibert J, Kühner D, Stahl M, Koeksoy E, Bertsche U.
PMID: 27669322
Antibiotics (Basel). 2016 Sep 23;5(4). doi: 10.3390/antibiotics5040033.

The Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus carnosus (S. carnosus) TM300 is an apathogenic staphylococcal species commonly used in meat starter cultures. As with all Gram-positive bacteria, its cytoplasmic membrane is surrounded by a thick peptidoglycan (PGN) or murein sacculus consisting of...

Highly Variable Streptococcus oralis Strains Are Common among Viridans Streptococci Isolated from Primates.

mSphere

Denapaite D, Rieger M, Köndgen S, Brückner R, Ochigava I, Kappeler P, Mätz-Rensing K, Leendertz F, Hakenbeck R.
PMID: 27303717
mSphere. 2016 Mar 09;1(2). doi: 10.1128/mSphere.00041-15. eCollection 2016.

Viridans streptococci were obtained from primates (great apes, rhesus monkeys, and ring-tailed lemurs) held in captivity, as well as from free-living animals (chimpanzees and lemurs) for whom contact with humans is highly restricted. Isolates represented a variety of viridans...

Analysis of five complete genome sequences for members of the class Peribacteria in the recently recognized Peregrinibacteria bacterial phylum.

PeerJ

Anantharaman K, Brown CT, Burstein D, Castelle CJ, Probst AJ, Thomas BC, Williams KH, Banfield JF.
PMID: 26844018
PeerJ. 2016 Jan 28;4:e1607. doi: 10.7717/peerj.1607. eCollection 2016.

Five closely related populations of bacteria from the Candidate Phylum (CP) Peregrinibacteria, part of the bacterial Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR), were sampled from filtered groundwater obtained from an aquifer adjacent to the Colorado River near the town of Rifle,...

Cell Wall-active Bacteriocins and Their Applications Beyond Antibiotic Activity.

Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins

Roces C, Rodríguez A, Martínez B.
PMID: 26782186
Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins. 2012 Dec;4(4):259-72. doi: 10.1007/s12602-012-9116-9.

Microorganisms synthesize several compounds with antimicrobial activity in order to compete or defend themselves against others and ensure their survival. In this line, the cell wall is a major protective barrier whose integrity is essential for many vital bacterial...

The Mechanism Underlying the Antibacterial Activity of Shikonin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM

Lee YS, Lee DY, Kim YB, Lee SW, Cha SW, Park HW, Kim GS, Kwon DY, Lee MH, Han SH.
PMID: 26265924
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2015;2015:520578. doi: 10.1155/2015/520578. Epub 2015 Jul 21.

Shikonin (SKN), a highly liposoluble naphthoquinone pigment isolated from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, is known to exert antibacterial, wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antitumor effects. The aim of this study was to examine SKN antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus...

EzrA: a spectrin-like scaffold in the bacterial cell division machinery.

Microbial cell (Graz, Austria)

Cleverley R, Lewis R.
PMID: 28357277
Microb Cell. 2015 Jan 15;2(2):59-61. doi: 10.15698/mic2015.02.187.

Much progress has been made in identifying the components of the divisome, the assembly of proteins that undertakes the vital process of cell division in bacteria. However, how the highly interdependent processes on either side of the membrane are...

Use of Toll-like receptor assays for the detection of bacterial contaminations in icodextrin batches released for peritoneal dialysis.

Toxicology reports

Hacine-Gherbi H, Denys A, Carpentier M, Heysen A, Duflot P, Lanos P, Allain F.
PMID: 29152461
Toxicol Rep. 2017 Oct 23;4:566-573. doi: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2017.10.004. eCollection 2017.

Icodextrin is a starch derivative used for preparing solutions of peritoneal dialysis. Unfortunately, peptidoglycans (PGN) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) have been reported to contaminate certain icodextrin batches and to contribute to the development of sterile peritonitis. The decision of selecting...

NOD2 and inflammation: current insights.

Journal of inflammation research

Negroni A, Pierdomenico M, Cucchiara S, Stronati L.
PMID: 29483781
J Inflamm Res. 2018 Feb 12;11:49-60. doi: 10.2147/JIR.S137606. eCollection 2018.

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) protein, NOD2, belonging to the intracellular NOD-like receptor family, detects conserved motifs in bacterial peptidoglycan and promotes their clearance through activation of a proinflammatory transcriptional program and other innate immune pathways, including autophagy and...
