Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms

open access: yesDrug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Intracellular bacteria exploit host cell niches, such as lysosomes, phagosomes, cytosol, entire cells, and even erythrocytes, to evade immune clearance and escape conventional antibiotics. These environments pose numerous therapeutic challenges, including crossing host cell membranes, navigating endosomal trafficking, tolerating acidic and ...

Modular Nanosensing Platforms for Tuberculosis and Beyond: Engineering Biomaterials Toward Cross‐Pathogen Diagnostic Universality

open access: yesMedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
Modular nanosensing platforms utilize nanomaterials and functionalized interfaces to amplify trace different pathogens (like tuberculosis) antigen capture, suppress matrix interference, and enable multiplex detection. Their portability and cost‐effectiveness support rapid screening in resource‐limited settings and real‐time monitoring, advancing high ...

Phagocytosis of Legionella pneumophila is mediated by human monocyte complement receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
We have examined receptors mediating phagocytosis of the intracellular bacterial pathogen, Legionella pneumophila. Three mAbs against the type 3 complement receptor (CR3), which recognizes C3bi, inhibit adherence of L.

A yeast two-hybrid screen reveals a strong interaction between the Legionella chaperonin Hsp60 and the host cell small heat shock protein Hsp10 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
L. pneumophila is an intracellular bacterium that replicates inside a membrane-bound vacuole called Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), where it plentifully liberates its HtpB chaperonin.

Comparative Genomics of the Endosymbiont Cardinium Causing Reproductive Manipulation in Encarsia Parasitoid Wasps

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...
