Revival of traditional agricultural systems – A multidisciplinary on‐farm survey of maize‐bean intercropping reveals unexpected competition effects on beans

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cereal‐legume intercropping is a promising strategy for sustainable agroecosystems, leveraging the biological complementarities between plant species to reduce the need for inputs while enhancing field biodiversity. Here, we focused on maize‐bean intercropping, which is experiencing a revival in conventional agricultural settings.

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

The pmrCAB Operon Mediates Polymyxin Resistance In Acinetobacter Baumannii ATCC 17978 And Clinical Isolates Through Phosphoethanolamine Modification Of Lipid A [PDF]

, 2011
The emergence of multidrug resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii is leading to an increasing dependence on the use of polymyxins as last-hope antibiotics. Here, we utilized genetic and biochemical methods to define the involvement of the pmrCAB operon

Carbapenemase-producingAcinetobacterspp. in Cattle, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
To the Editor: Multidrug resistance in bacteria isolated from animals is an emerging phenomenon, mirroring what is happening among humans. During the past decade, expanded-spectrum β-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae from humans (1) and animals (2) worldwide have been reported.

Vancomycin‐Modified DNA Origami Nanostructures for Targeting Bacterial Pathogens

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Applications of DNA origami nanostructures in pathogen detection and antimicrobial drug delivery require their efficient and robust binding to bacterial cells. Here, the cell wall‐binding glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin is conjugated to selected staple strands and displayed in multivalent arrangements on the DNA origami surface to facilitate the ...
