Boronic Acid Inhibitors of β‐Lactamases: A Promising Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, mostly due to the proliferation of β‐lactamases, a class of enzymes responsible for the inactivation of β‐lactam antibiotics. Among the most promising strategies to restore β‐lactam efficacy is the use of β‐lactamase inhibitors (BLIs), with boronic acid ...

Fluoroquinolone Metalloantibiotics to Bypass Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms: Decreased Permeation through Porins

open access: yesMembranes, 2020
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics largely used in the clinical practice against Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Nevertheless, bacteria have developed several antimicrobial resistance mechanisms against such class of ...

How We Simulate Nanopores

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Nanopore technology has revolutionized single‐molecule sensing, yet it suffers from an inherent interpretive challenge. Molecular dynamics has emerged as a go‐to method for determining the relationship between the structure of translocating molecules and the nanopore current signals.

TolA central domain interacts with Escherichia coli porins.

open access: yes, 1996
International audienceTolA is an inner membrane protein with three domains: a transmembrane N-terminus and periplasmic central and C-terminal domains. The interaction of TolA with outer membrane porins of Escherichia coli was investigated.

Expression of Genes Associated with Efflux Pump and Porins in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates Recovered from Different Clinical Specimens

open access: yesBiomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal
Background: Efflux pumps are crucial bacterial defense mechanisms that reduce antibiotic susceptibility by expelling antibiotics from cells. In Acinetobacter baumannii, this significantly contributes to multidrug resistance.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

CryoBN‐PAGE: A Rapid and Cost‐Effective Method for the Analysis of Yeast Respiratory Complexes and Their Dynamic Organization

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
We present cryoBN‐PAGE, a method that enables blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of mitochondrial respiratory complexes and supercomplexes directly from whole yeast cells using cryogenic milling. This approach eliminates the need for mitochondrial isolation, reducing time and cost while preserving native protein complexes.

Resistance to Carbapenems in Non-Typhoidal Salmonella enterica Serovars from Humans, Animals and Food

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences, 2018
Non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica (NTS) are a leading cause of food-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide. Like other zoonotic bacteria, NTS have the potential to act as reservoirs and vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial ...

Metalloido-porins: Essentiality of Nodulin 26-like intrinsic proteins in metalloid transport.

open access: yesPlant Science, 2015
Metalloids are a group of physiologically important elements ranging from the essential to the highly toxic. Arsenic, antimony, germanium, and tellurium are highly toxic to plants themselves and to consumers of metalloid-contaminated plants.

A horizontally acquired pantothenate gene drives vitellogenin's benefit to whitefly symbiosis persistence

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.
