Cecropins contribute to Drosophila host defense against a subset of fungal and Gram-negative bacterial infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Mark Austin Hanson, Alexia Laurie Carboni

Cecropins are small helical secreted peptides with antimicrobial activity that are widely distributed among insects. Genes encoding Cecropins are strongly induced upon infection, pointing to their role in host defense. In Drosophila, four cecropin genes cl ...

Irreversible inactivation of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and its genes in water by photo-electro-oxidation and photo-electro-Fenton- Processes action modes

César Pulgarin

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a critical priority pathogen according to the World Health Organization's classification. Effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants (EWWTP) may be a route for K. pneumoniae dissemination. Herein, the i ...

Microtissue models for studying the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions in the urinary bladder

Kunal Sharma

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common bacterial infections and are the second-most frequent reason for antibiotic prescriptions. Moreover, in about 25% of all treated cases, recurrence of infection occurs. Uropathogenic Escherichia co ...

Unravelling the collateral damage of antibiotics on gut bacteria

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans

Antibiotics are used to fight pathogens but also target commensal bacteria, disturbing the composition of gut microbiota and causing dysbiosis and disease1. Despite this well-known collateral damage, the activity spectrum of different antibiotic classes on ...

Intestinal organoid cocultures with microbes

Devanjali Dutta

This protocol comprises various methods to coculture organoids (particularly human small intestinal and colon organoids) with microbes, including microinjection into the lumen and periphery of 3D organoids and exposure of organoids to microbes in a 2D laye ...

Parietal Structures of Escherichia coli Can Impact the D-Cateslytin Antibacterial Activity

Georg Fantner, Oliver Peric

Bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics is of major concern. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered excellent alternatives. Among them, D-cateslytin (D-Ctl, derivative of a host defense peptide) has shown high efficiency against a broad spec ...

Mechanisms protecting host cells against bacterial pore-forming toxins

Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are key virulence determinants produced and secreted by a variety of human bacterial pathogens. They disrupt the plasma membrane (PM) by generating stable protein pores, which allow uncontrolled exchanges between the extracellula ...

Occurrence and ecological determinants of the contamination of floodplain wetlands with Klebsiella pneumoniae and pathogenic or antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli

François Gillet, Charles Pierre Roger Henriot

The survival and multiplication of human pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in ecosystems is of increasing concern but has been little explored. Wetlands can be contaminated by water fluxes from rivers and may present environmental conditions lea ...

Mass Spectrometry Methods for Bacterial Infection Diagnosis and Cancer Analysis

Yingdi Zhu

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry is an important analytical tool in chemistry and biology. Bearing the advantages of easy-to-use, fast measurements and relatively simple data interpretation, MALDI-T ...

Cell-Specific Imd-NF-κB Responses Enable Simultaneous Antibacterial Immunity and Intestinal Epithelial Cell Shedding upon Bacterial Infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Zongzhao Zhai, Jean Philippe Boquete

Intestinal infection triggers potent immune responses to combat pathogens and concomitantly drives epithelial renewal to maintain barrier integrity. Current models propose that epithelial renewal is primarily driven by damage caused by reactive oxygen spec ...
