Phage Adsorption to Gram-Positive Bacteria
Viruses, 2023 The phage life cycle is a multi-stage process initiated by the recognition and attachment of the virus to its bacterial host. This adsorption step depends on the specific interaction between bacterial structures acting as receptors and viral proteins ...

Antimicrobial Peptides Targeting Gram-Positive Bacteria [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2016 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have remarkably different structures as well as biological activity profiles, whereupon most of these peptides are supposed to kill bacteria via membrane damage.

Quorum-Sensing Inhibition by Gram-Positive Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2022 The modern paradigm assumes that interspecies communication of microorganisms occurs through precise regulatory mechanisms. In particular, antagonism between bacteria or bacteria and fungi can be achieved by direct destruction of the targeted cells ...

Antibacterial Activity of Colloidal Silver against Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Bacteria
Antibiotics, 2020 Due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, new alternative therapies are needed. Silver was used to treat bacterial infections since antiquity due to its known antimicrobial properties. Here, we aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of colloidal

Surface Proteins on Gram-Positive Bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2019 Surface proteins are critical for the survival of gram-positive bacteria both in the environment and to establish an infection. Depending on the organism, their surface proteins are evolutionarily tailored to interact with specific ligands on their ...

Small proteins in Gram-positive bacteria. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol Rev, 2023 Abstract Small proteins comprising less than 100 amino acids have been often ignored in bacterial genome annotations. About 10 years ago, focused efforts started to investigate whole peptidomes, which resulted in the discovery of a multitude of small proteins, but only a number of them have been characterized in detail.

Envelope Structures of Gram-Positive Bacteria. [PDF]
Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology, 2017 Gram-positive organisms, including the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis, have dynamic cell envelopes that mediate interactions with the environment and serve as the first line of defense against toxic molecules.

Activity of Specialized Biomolecules against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria
Antibiotics, 2020 The increased resistance of bacteria against conventional pharmaceutical solutions, the antibiotics, has raised serious health concerns. This has stimulated interest in the development of bio-based therapeutics with limited resistance, namely, essential ...

Environmental microbial communications in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2023 Microorganisms are present in nature and shape an enormous a half of our micro- and macro-environment. Quorum sensing is the process of intercellular conversation that enables microbes to perceive their surroundings and change their behaviour, allowing ...
