Reactivity of Carbohydrate Phosphodiesters, Potential Targets of Antibacterial Agents

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
A simple carbohydrate phosphodiester model was synthesized to compare the reactivity of phosphodiester bonds within carbohydrates and RNA. ABSTRACT While monosaccharide units in bacterial carbohydrates may be linked with phosphodiester bonds, human carbohydrates exclusively contain glycosidic linkages.

Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms

Drug 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 ...

Lipooligosaccharides (LOS) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis have components that are immunochemically similar to precursors of human blood group antigens. Carbohydrate sequence specificity of the mouse monoclonal antibodies that recognize crossreacting antigens on LOS and human erythrocytes. [PDF]

, 1988
We have used mouse mAbs, 3F11 and 06B4, that are specific for highly conserved epitopes of Neisseria gonorrhoeae lipooligosaccharides (LOS) to identify immunochemically similar structures on human erythrocytes. mAb 3F11 agglutinated erythrocytes from all

Nipocalimab‐aahu in generalised myasthenia gravis: A new Fc receptor‐targeted option for antibody‐positive patients

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 524-530, Winter 2025.
Generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) can be effectively treated with nipocalimab (Imaavy), a new FcRn inhibitor that selectively lowers harmful IgG levels without causing widespread immunosuppression. According to Phase 2/3 trials, nipocalimab exhibits favourable safety, broad age applicability (≥12 years), and sustained efficacy, setting it apart as a ...

The lack of specificity of sodC-based PCR for the detection of Neisseria meningitidis carriage in pharyngeal swabs from adolescents

Microbiology Spectrum
The utility of the superoxide dismutase C (sodC) gene for detecting Neisseria meningitidis carriage in pharyngeal swab samples is unclear. While it has been explored as an alternative to the capsule transport A gene for detecting invasive strains, its ...
