Bactericidal effect of tetracycline in E. coli strain ED1a may be associated with ribosome dysfunction

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans, Christian Eugen Zimmerli, Martin Beck

Ribosomes translate the genetic code into proteins. Recent technical advances have facilitated in situ structural analyses of ribosome functional states inside eukaryotic cells and the minimal bacterium Mycoplasma. However, such analyses of Gram-negative b ...

Soft-probe-scanning electrochemical microscopy reveals electrochemical surface reactivity of E. coli biofilms

Hubert Girault, Emad Oveisi, Horst Pick, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Sorour Darvishi

Investigating and understanding dynamic biofilm growth mechanisms is challenging, often because state-of-theart optical characterization tools provide limited information. Micrometric electrochemical imaging of Escherichia coli biofilms using Soft-Probe-Sc ...

Nanostructured surface topographies have an effect on bactericidal activity

Jürgen Brugger, Songmei Wu

Background Due to the increased emergence of antimicrobial resistance, alternatives to minimize the usage of antibiotics become attractive solutions. Biophysical manipulation of material surface topography to prevent bacterial adhesion is one promising app ...

Phage Selection of Cyclic Peptides for Application in Research and Drug Development

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

Cyclic peptides can bind to protein targets with high affinities and selectivities, which makes them an attractive modality for the development of research reagents and therapeutics. Additional properties, including low inherent toxicity, efficient chemica ...

A benzamide-dependent ftsZ mutant reveals residues crucial for Z-ring assembly

David William Adams

In almost all bacteria, cell division is co-ordinated by the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ and represents an attractive but as yet unexploited target for new antibiotics. The benzamides, e.g. PC190723, are potent FtsZ inhibitors that have the potential ...

Circulation of a Quorum-Sensing-Impaired Variant of Vibrio cholerae Strain C6706 Masks Important Phenotypes

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, is a model organism for studying virulence regulation, biofilm formation, horizontal gene transfer, and the cell-to-cell communication known as quorum sensing (QS). As in any research field, discrepancies be ...

More DNA–Aptamers for Small Drugs: A Capture–SELEX Coupled with Surface Plasmon Resonance and High-Throughput Sequencing

Carlotta Guiducci, Fabio Mario Spiga

To address limitations in the production of DNA aptamers against small molecules, we introduce a DNA-based capture-SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) protocol with long and continuous randomized library for more flexibility, ...

The biofilm granulation mechanisms depend on the predominant populations involved

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Samuel Lochmatter

The novel aerobic granular sludge technology is attractive for intensified biological nutrient removal from wastewater. This process is based on self-granulated flocs forming fast-settling mobile biofilms with a gel-like consistence, called “granules”. Mec ...

Structural Basis for Benzothiazinone-Mediated Killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Florence Pojer, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Elizabeth Fullam

The benzothiazinone BTZ043 is a tuberculosis drug candidate with nanomolar whole-cell activity. BTZ043 targets the DprE1 catalytic component of the essential enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose-2'-epimerase, thus blocking biosynthesis of arabin ...
