Inter‐Verified Binary Classification Models: Unveiling Key Polymer Features Against Staphylococcus aureus

Carbon Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to antibiotics but require precise and costly sequence control for efficacy. Synthetic polymers composed of acrylate and acrylamide offer a simpler and more time‐efficient antibacterial strategy compared to AMPs.

Comparative flux control through the cytoplasmic phase of cell wall biosynthesis [PDF]

The introduction of antibacterial drugs in the middle of the last century heralded a new era in the treatment of infectious disease. However the parallel emergence of antibiotic resistance and decline in new drug discovery threatens these advances. The

Reduced peptidoglycan synthesis capacity impairs growth of E. coli at high salt concentration

mBio
Gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer between the cytoplasmic and outer membranes protecting the cell from osmotic challenges. Hydrolases of this structure are needed to cleave bonds to allow the newly synthesized peptidoglycan strands ...

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Atomic-scale simulations of reactive oxygen plasma species interacting with bacterial cell walls

New Journal of Physics, 2012
In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasmas for biomedical applications. Currently, however, there is very little fundamental knowledge regarding the relevant interaction mechanisms of plasma

Multifunctional Properties of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Insecticidal Effects

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Antibiotic Remodeling of the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Resistance to Secondary Infection

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Gut microbial dynamics induced by four antibiotics, revealed distinct taxonomic and functional shifts. Vancomycin‐perturbed bacteriomes were proven to promote pathogen resistance to antibiotic treatment. Metronidazole‐treated mice showed pronounced Salmonella translocation to hepatic tissue, and altered Enterococcus avium populations modulated host ...

Integrative host–microbiome modeling uncovers the implication of oral–gut translocation in advanced cirrhosis

iMeta, EarlyView.
Liver cirrhosis is associated with profound disruption of host–microbiome metabolic interactions. Using paired oral and fecal metagenomics combined with genome‐scale metabolic modeling, we investigated how microbial translocation along the oral–gut axis influences microbial metabolism at different cirrhosis severities.
