Efferocytosis Is an Innate Antibacterial Mechanism [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2012 Mycobacterium tuberculosis persists within macrophages in an arrested phagosome and depends upon necrosis to elude immunity and disseminate. Although apoptosis of M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages is associated with reduced bacterial growth, the bacteria are relatively resistant to other forms of death, leaving the mechanism underlying this ...

The antimicrobial polymer PHMB enters cells and selectively condenses bacterial chromosomes [PDF]
, 2016 To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) kills bacteria selectively over host cells.

Mechanisms of Antibacterial Action of Bacitracin [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1962 SUMMARY: At minimal bacteriostatic concentrations, bacitracin had four distinct actions on Staphylococcus aureus: (a) prevention of growth; (b) induction of lysis; (c) suppression of induced enzyme synthesis; (d) stimulation of the reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride.

How innate immunity proteins kill bacteria and why they are not prone to resistance [PDF]
, 2017 Recent advances on antibacterial activity of peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) offer some insight into how innate immunity has retained its antimicrobial effectiveness for millions of years with no frequent emergence of resistant strains. First,

Antibacterial mechanisms of the urinary bladder [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1968 THE DISAPPEARANCE OF BACTERIA FROM THE NORMAL URINARY BLADDER IS APPARENTLY A FUNCTION OF TWO HOST DEFENSE MECHANISMS: the mechanical clearance of organisms by voiding, and the antibacterial activity of the bladder wall. This study quantified the relative contribution of each of these mechanisms to the resistance of the bladder to bacterial infection ...
