In Vivo Emergence of Podovirus Resistance via tarS Mutation During Phage-Antibiotic Treatment of Experimental MSSA Endocarditis

Viruses
Phage therapy shows promise as an adjunct to antibiotics for treating Staphylococcus aureus infections. We previously reported a combined flucloxacillin/two-phage cocktail treatment selected for resistance to podovirus phage 66 in a rodent model of ...

Two novel bacteriophage genera from a groundwater reservoir highlight subsurface environments as underexplored biotopes in bacteriophage ecology

Scientific Reports, 2020
Although bacteriophages are central entities in bacterial ecology and population dynamics, there is currently no literature on the genomes of bacteriophages isolated from groundwater.

Selective Inhibition of Integrin β3 Topology Provides a Safer Antithrombotic Strategy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current integrin αIIbβ3 inhibitors effectively reduce thrombosis but also increase bleeding risk. During thrombosis, high shear blood flow can directly activate the integrin αIIbβ3 via a distinct topological change in the β3 transmembrane domain, independent of hemostatic platelet signaling.

Study of the Activity of the Staphylococcus aureus Phage vB_SaS_GE1 Against MRSA Clinical Isolates and Its Impact on the Formation of Dual-Species Biofilms with P. aeruginosa

Viruses
Bacteriophage therapy is regarded as a promising alternative for treating and preventing antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most prevalent and difficult-to-treat pathogens.

A Chirality‐Converted Bacteriolytic Dodecapeptide Regulates Vibrio‐Induced Polymicrobial Infection and Ameliorates Invasion‐Associated Gut Microbiota Disequilibrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

Inhibitory Effect of Bacteriophages Isolated from Sewage Water in the City of Kirkuk on some Types of Human Pathogenic Bacteria

مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2017
Most approaches to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria concentrate on discovering new antibiotics or modifying existing ones. However, one of the most promising alternatives is the use of bacteriophages.

The Development and Pilot Clinical Study of CD147 Targeted Antagonistic Peptide Probe for Tumor Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes [68Ga]Ga‐DOTA‐AP9 as a first‐in‐human CD147‐targeted PET tracer with favorable safety and specific tumor uptake. Tracer accumulation correlates with CD147 expression in patients, enabling noninvasive quantification of CD147‐positive malignancies.

Rational Design of a Potent Two-Phage Cocktail Against a Contemporary Acinetobacter baumannii Strain Recovered from a Burned Patient at the Lausanne University Hospital

Viruses
Acinetobacter baumannii is a critical public health threat, particularly with the rise in multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains that limit treatment options.

Microglia‐Targeted Biomimetic Tetrahedral Framework Nucleic Acid Nanovesicles for Synergistic Treatment of Sepsis‐Associated Encephalopathy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE) lacks effective therapies. We developed ME@FDsi, a biomimetic nanodrug using a tetrahedral framework nucleic acid to deliver disulfiram and siTNFα. It crosses the blood‐brain barrier, targets M1 microglia, inhibits pyroptosis and inflammation, and scavenges ROS.

Endogenous Engineering Reprograms Extracellular Vesicles for Enhanced Therapeutic Function

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explains how Extracellular vesicles‐producing cells can be endogenously engineered to load therapeutic proteins and nucleic acids. We summarize physiological and genetic strategies that harness native sorting pathways for selective cargo loading.
