Silver as antibacterial toward Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]

, 2016
Listeria monocytogenes is a serious foodborne pathogen that can contaminate food during processing and can grow during food shelf-life. New types of safe and effective food contact materials embedding antimicrobial agents, like silver, can play an ...

Antimicrobial Activity of Isopteropodine

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2005
Bioassay-directed fractionation for the determination of antimicrobial activity of Uncaria tomentosa, has led to the isolation of isopteropodine (0.3%), a known Uncaria pentacyclic oxindol alkaloid that exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Heterogeneous antimicrobial activity in broncho-alveolar aspirates from mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients

Virulence, 2019
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, where the alveoli in the affected area are filled with pus and fluid. Although ventilated patients are at risk, not all ventilated patients develop pneumonia.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial activity of plant-based antimicrobial peptides against bacteria

Letters in Animal Biology
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short, usually positively charged, polypeptides which are widely used to overcome the threat of the antimicrobial resistance. The potential of the AMPs is increasing as a new class of antibiotics.

Antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and recombinant human mannose-binding lectin express distinct age- and pathogen-specific antimicrobial activity in human newborn cord blood in vitro [PDF]

, 2018
Background: There is a need to prevent and treat infection in newborns. One approach is administration of antimicrobial proteins and peptides (APPs) such as LL-37, a membrane-active cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, and mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a ...

Antimicrobial Activity of Halogens

Journal of Food Protection, 1981
The bactericidal and sporicidal effects of halogens are reviewed. Chlorine and iodine are the halogens most widely used for inactivating microorganisms. Compounds containing chlorine and iodine are, in general, equally effective in destroying vegetative cells, but chlorine compounds are more effective in inactivating spores.
