Molecular basis of IRGB10 oligomerization and membrane association for pathogen membrane disruption

Communications Biology, 2021
Ha et al. present a crystal structure of mouse IRGB10, a mouse interferon-inducible GTPase that mediates bacteriolysis in cell autonomous immunity. With further mutagenesis studies, they show that IRGB10 bound to GDP forms an inactive head-to-head dimer,

Model-Driven Controlled Alteration of Nanopillar Cap Architecture Reveals its Effects on Bactericidal Activity

Microorganisms, 2020
Nanostructured surfaces can be engineered to kill bacteria in a contact-dependent manner. The study of bacterial interactions with a nanoscale topology is thus crucial to developing antibacterial surfaces.

Mycobacteriophages in diagnosis and alternative treatment of mycobacterial infections

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat to human populations. The emergence of multidrug-resistant “superbugs” in mycobacterial infections has further complicated the processes of curing patients, thereby resulting in high morbidity and ...

Bacteriolysis by Agaricus bisporus [PDF]

Microbiology, 1991
Summary: Agaricus bisporus, the cultivated mushroom, was able to mineralize dead 14C-labelled Bacillus subtilis and utilize the cellular components as sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth. Consistently higher levels of bacteriolytic activity were obtained when A. bisporus was grown on lower concentrations of bacteria, 1·5 mg ml−1 as opposed to

WhyD tailors surface polymers to prevent premature bacteriolysis and direct cell elongation in Streptococcus pneumoniae

eLife, 2022
Penicillin and related antibiotics disrupt cell wall synthesis in bacteria causing the downstream misactivation of cell wall hydrolases called autolysins to induce cell lysis.

Lipopolysaccharide increases lysozyme adhesion to chitin

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Background. To study the effect of lipopolysaccharide on the adsorption of lysozyme on chitin.Methods. Egg white lysozyme, lipopolysaccharide and chitin were used. The lyophilized cells of M. lyzodeikticus were used as a lysozyme substrate.

Induction of Bacteriolysis by Cysteamine and Its Derivatives [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1958
Cysteamine and certain closely related derivatives induced lysis in a majority of 28 strains of Bacillus; cultures of all other genera tested were resistant. Forty-three additional sulphur and/or nitrogen containing compounds were unable to induce lysis. Optimum conditions for cysteamine activity included exposure of metabolizing post-log.
