Channel-forming activity of syringopeptin 25 A in mercury-supported phospholipid monolayers and negatively charged bilayers [PDF]

, 2016
Interactions of the cationic lipodepsipeptide syringopeptin 25 A (SP25A) with mercury-supported dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) and dioeleoylphosphatidic acid (DOPA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were investigated

A Tailored Artificial Biocatalyst for Bacterial Endophthalmitis Therapy via Enhanced Ferroptosis‐Like Death

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A tailored bio‐targeted catalytic strategy based on a bacteria‐specific artificial biocatalyst (MoS2/Fe@mercaptophenylboronic acid@hyaluronic acid, MFBH) is proposed for treating bacterial endophthalmitis. This strategy exhibits high‐efficiency peptidoglycan‐targeted bactericidal efficacy in vivo following a single intravitreal injection of an ...

Toxin release mediated by the novel autolysin Cwp19 in Clostridium difficile

Microbial Cell, 2018
Clostridium difficile, also known as Clostriodioides difficile, is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium and a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in nosocomial environments. The key virulence factors of this pathogen are two toxins, toxin

Effect of peptidoglycans on erythrocyte survival

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2009
Peptidoglycans (PGNs) from bacterial cell walls belong to 'pathogen-associated molecular patterns' (PAMP), which modify the course of an infection with bacterial pathogens. Bacterial infections may lead to anaemia, which at least partially could result from accelerated erythrocyte death.

Nanofabricated Bacterial Cell Walls with Intrinsic Peroxidase‐Mimicking and Sonodynamic Activities for Cancer Combination Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial cell walls (CWs) extracted from Porphyromonas gingivalis are nanofabricated to form the CW vesicles (CWV), which have intrinsic peroxidase‐mimicking and sonodynamic activities due to the presence of µ‐oxo bisheme and meanwhile retain a large amount of lipopolysaccharide.

A novel type of meso-diaminopimelic acid-based peptidoglycan and novel poly(erythritol phosphate) teichoic acids in cell walls of two coryneform isolates from the surface flora of French cooked cheeses [PDF]

, 1993
The primary structure of the peptidoglycan and the teichoic acids of two coryneform isolates from the surface flora of French cooked cheeses, CNRZ 925 and CNRZ 926, have been determined.

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 ...

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
