Repurposing Drugs as Bacteroides fragilis BFT‐3 Inhibitors in the Animal Infection Model Galleria mellonella

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1557, Issue 1, March 2026.
This work establishes a newly developed Galleria mellonella infection model as a powerful, ethical platform for studying Bacteroides fragilis pathogenesis and therapy. Leveraging this model, the study identifies MOA4 as a potent BFT‐3 inhibitor that improves host survival, increases bacterial clearance, and synergizes with antibiotics without toxicity.

Tigecycline inhibits proliferation of Acanthamoeba castellanii

Parasitology Research, 2015
Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic protozoan parasite responsible for different diseases in humans, such as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and amoebic keratitis. Tigecycline, a third-generation tetracycline antibiotic, has potential activity to treat most of the antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. The effects of tigecycline in eukaryotic cells
