Apicidin Attenuates MRSA Virulence through Quorum-Sensing Inhibition and Enhanced Host Defense

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Recurrent epidemics of drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus illustrate the rapid lapse of antibiotic efficacy following clinical implementation. Over the last decade, community-associated methicillin-resistant S.

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.

Repurposing metformin as a quorum sensing inhibitor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

open access: yesAfrican health sciences, 2017
Quorum sensing is a mechanism of intercellular communication that controls the production of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Inhibition of quorum sensing can disarm the virulence factors without exerting stress on bacterial growth that leads to emergence of antibiotic resistance.Finding a new quorum sensing inhibitor and determining its ...

Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.

A genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system enables efficient genetic engineering in Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We developed a genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system for Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8, which enables precise deletion or replacement of DNA fragments ranging from 379 to 45,168 bp, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Application of this tool for the dynamic regulation of fabclavine‐8 biosynthesis resulted in a 1.90‐fold increase in production ...
