Prophage-triggered membrane vesicle formation through peptidoglycan damage in Bacillus subtilis
Nature Communications, 2017 Bacteria release membrane vesicles (MVs) that play important roles in various biological processes. However, the mechanisms of MV formation in Gram-positive bacteria are unclear, as these cells possess a single cytoplasmic membrane that is surrounded by ...

Clostridioides difficile peptidoglycan modifications
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2022 The cortex and peptidoglycan of Clostridioides difficile have been poorly investigated. This last decade, the interest increased because these two structures are highly modified and these modifications may be involved in antimicrobial resistance. For example, C.

Lipid Nanoparticle‐Mediated CRISPR‐Cas13a Delivery for the Control of Bacterial Infection
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.New formulations of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that can deliver nucleic acids to Gram‐negative bacteria are proposed to combat bacterial infection. The delivery of nucleic acids by LNPs is aided by LNP‐helpers which weaken the bacterial outer membrane. LNPs encapsulating the Cas13a/gRNA expression vector achieve an antibacterial effect in both in vivo ...

Imaging the in vivo growth patterns of bacteria in human gut Microbiota
Gut Microbes, 2021 How to study the unculturable bacteria in the laboratory is one of the major challenges in human gut microbiota research. The resulting lack of microbiology knowledge of this “dark matter” greatly hinders further understanding of our gut microbiota. Here,

Bacterial peptidoglycan (murein) hydrolases [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2008 Most bacteria have multiple peptidoglycan hydrolases capable of cleaving covalent bonds in peptidoglycan sacculi or its fragments. An overview of the different classes of peptidoglycan hydrolases and their cleavage sites is provided. The physiological functions of these enzymes include the regulation of cell wall growth, the turnover of peptidoglycan ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights recent progress in nanocarriers targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll‐like and NOD‐like receptors, for enhancing the treatment of bacterial sepsis and related complications. These nanomedicines deliver antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents while modulating immune responses.
