The Not-So-Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Antibiotic Research: An Interdisciplinary Opportunity

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Literary-rhetorical devices like figurative language and analogy can help explain concepts that exceed our capacity to grasp intuitively. It is not surprising these devices are used to discuss virulence, pathogenesis, and antibiotics. Allusions to Robert

Diclofenac and Meloxicam Exhibited Anti-Virulence Activities Targeting Staphyloxanthin Production in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a worldwide leading versatile pathogen that causes a wide range of serious infections. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance against S.

Killing them softly:managing pathogen polymorphism and virulence in spatially variable environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Understanding why pathogen populations are genetically variable is vital because genetic variation fuels evolution, which often hampers disease control efforts.

THBS1+ Macrophages Exacerbate Modic Changes via SDC4‐Dependent Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The illustration of THBS1+ macrophages exacerbate MCs via SDC4‐dependent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. THBS1+ macrophage subpopulation was identified in MCs through single‐cell RNA sequencing. C. acnes and its metabolites activate THBS1 expression in macrophages via the TLR signaling pathway.

The promising anti-virulence activity of candesartan, domperidone, and miconazole on Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2021
Staphylococcus aureus is a primary cause of hospital and community-acquired infections. With the emergence of multidrug-resistant S. aureus strains, there is a need for new drugs discovery. Due to the poor supply of new antimicrobials, targeting virulence of S. aureus may generate weaker selection for resistant strains, anti-virulence agents disarm the

Synthesis, Antimicrobial, Anti-Virulence and Anticancer Evaluation of New 5(4H)-Oxazolone-Based Sulfonamides

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Since the synthesis of prontosil the first prodrug shares their chemical moiety, sulfonamides exhibit diverse modes of actions to serve as antimicrobials, diuretics, antidiabetics, and other clinical applications.

Biomimetic Nanoplatform for Dual Target Nano‐Metabolic Therapy in Diabetes‐Associated Biofilm Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic GOx/Arg‐loaded nanoplatform produces nitric oxide through an in situ catalytic cascade reaction, enabling dual‐target metabolic regulation in diabetes‐associated biofilm infections. Bacterial metabolism is disrupted, and macrophage immunometabolism is reprogrammed, resulting in biofilm eradication, immune restoration, and enhanced ...

Recent Developments in the Inhibition of Bacterial Adhesion as Promising Anti-Virulence Strategy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Infectious diseases caused by antimicrobial-resistant strains have become a serious threat to global health, with a high social and economic impact. Multi-resistant bacteria exhibit various mechanisms at both the cellular and microbial community levels.

Dual‐Functional Silent‐Region SERS Nanoplatform for Real‐Time Bacterial Tracking and Wound Healing Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial wound infections, particularly those caused by Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are difficult to treat due to biofilm formation, multidrug resistance, and chronic inflammation. Here, we report a multifunctional nanoplatform based on a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe that enables simultaneous photodynamic ...
