Defence against antimicrobial peptides: different strategies in Firmicutes

open access: yes, 2014
The Firmicutes constitute a phylum of bacteria that can be found in a wide variety of habitats, from soil to the gastrointestinal tract of animals, where they have to thrive in complex communities. Competition in these communities usually involves the production of compounds such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to eliminate competitor organisms ...

Bioengineered Bacterial Vesicles and Biomimetic Hybrids Eliminate Biofilms and Balance the Gut Microbiome

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Biomimetic nanocarriers based on liposomes and Myxobacteria outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) are effective antibiotic delivery systems. Hybrids have a higher drug loading and can target intracellular pathogens, while OMVs evade immune clearance. Biomimetic nanoantibiotics effectively eliminate the biofilms of Gram‐negative bacteria. Besides, Myxobacteria

Alterations of the oral microbiome in patients reinfected with SARS‐CoV‐2 omicron variants

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
We studied the oral microbiome (the community of microbes in the mouth) in people who were reinfected with the omicron variant of SARS‐CoV‐2 and compared it with healthy individuals and other respiratory illness groups. By sequencing tongue‐coating samples from large cohorts, we identified microbial shifts linked to Omicron reinfection and built a ...

Resveratrol attenuates areca nut extract‐induced chronic colitis by suppressing pyroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells via modulating cGAS/STING signaling

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Areca nut extract (ANE), commonly consumed in some cultures, can damage gut cells by triggering inflammation and cell death through a pathway called cGAS‐STING. This leads to the release of harmful inflammatory substances and weakens the gut barrier. Our study shows that resveratrol, a natural compound found in foods like grapes, can block this harmful
