Antimicrobial resistance remains one of the major challenges to global public health, compromising the effectiveness of treatments and contributing to increased morbidity and mortality associated with bacterial infections. Among the mechanisms involved, efflux pumps—such as NorA, expressed in resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus—are particularly ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

A mitochondria‐targeted AIE photosensitizer, LIQ‐TPA‐TZ, was developed to fight against Candida infection. It can efficiently produce reactive oxygen species to kill Candida guilliermondii and eradicate biofilms. It not only disrupted the respiratory chain and affected the metabolism and energy supply but also reduced the fungi adhesion and filament ...
