New evidence for Cu-decorated binary-oxides mediating bacterial inactivation/mineralization in aerobic media

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Michaël Bensimon, Sami Rtimi

Binary oxide semiconductors TiO2-ZrO2 and Cu-decorated TiO2-ZrO2 (TiO2-ZrO2-Cu) uniform films were sputtered on polyester (PES). These films were irradiated under low intensity solar simulated light and led to bacterial inactivation in aerobic and anaerobi ...

The DNA-Uptake Process of Naturally Competent Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Noémie Matthey

The sophisticated DNA-uptake machinery used during natural transformation is still poorly characterized, especially in Gram-negative bacteria where the transforming DNA has to cross two membranes as well as the peptidoglycan layer before entering into the ...

Mechanistic insight into mycobacterial MmpL protein function

Stewart Cole, Edina Rita Székely

Mycobacterial cell walls are complex structures containing a broad range of unusual lipids, glycolipids and other polymers, some of which act as immunomodulators or virulence determinants. Better understanding of the enzymes involved in export processes wo ...

Solar disinfection is an augmentable, in situ-generated photo-Fenton reaction-Part 1: A review of the mechanisms and the fundamental aspects of the process

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

The present manuscript is a conceptual review concerning the photo-Fenton reaction at near-neutral pH, used for bacterial inactivation. In this first Part, an overview of the mechanisms involved, as well as the fundamental concepts governing the near-neutr ...

Localization of adhesins on the surface of a pathogenic bacterial envelope through atomic force microscopy

Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Petar Stupar

Bacterial adhesion is the first and a significant step in establishing infection. This adhesion normally occurs in the presence of flow of fluids. Therefore, bacterial adhesins must be able to provide high strength interactions with their target surface in ...

Atomic structures of a bactericidal contractile nanotube in its pre- and postcontraction states

Petr Leiman, Peng Ge

R-type pyocins are representatives of contractile ejection systems, a class of biological nanomachines that includes, among others, the bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) and contractile bacteriophage tails. We report atomic models of the Pseudomona ...

2-Carboxyquinoxalines Kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis through Noncovalent Inhibition of DprE1

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Florence Pojer, Ruben Hartkoorn, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres

Phenotypic screening of a quinoxaline library against replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis led to the identification of lead compound Ty38c (3-((4-methoxybenzyl)amino)-6-(trifluoromethyl)quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid). With an MIC99 and MBC of 3.1 mu M, ...

Yersinia enterocolitica type III secretion injectisomes form regularly spaced clusters, which incorporate new machines upon activation

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Bacterial type III secretion systems or injectisomes are multiprotein complexes directly transporting bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells. To investigate the distribution of injectisomes in the bacterium and the influence of activation o ...
