Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

Exploiting neonatal host-bifidobacteria interactions to promote intestinal pathogen tolerance and barrier function: Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis outperforms Bifidobacterium adolescentis in anti-Salmonella activity and maintenance of intestinal homeostasis

Food Science and Human Wellness
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis and Bifidobacterium adolescentis play important roles in the guts of infants and adolescents, respectively. In this study, using a neonatal rat model, we compared the protective effects of these 2 bifidobacterial ...

Zebrafish Larvae as an in vivo Model for Antimicrobial Activity Tests against Intracellular Salmonella

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Introduction: Blood infections from multi-drug-resistant Salmonella pose a major health burden. This is especially true because Salmonella can survive and replicate intracellularly, and the development of new treatment strategies is dependent on ...

A Carbon Nanotube Immunosensor for Salmonella [PDF]

, 2013
Antibody-functionalized carbon nanotube devices have been suggested for use as bacterial detectors for monitoring of food purity in transit from the farm to the kitchen. Here we report progress towards that goal by demonstrating specific detection of Salmonella in complex nutrient broth solutions using nanotube transistors functionalized with ...

Self‐Adjusting Engineered Probiotic for Targeted Tumor Colonization and Local Therapeutics Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zou et al. developed an engineered strain of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 with precise targeting abilities for colonization and on‐demand payload release. The engineered probiotic survives and embolizes tumors only in the presence of more than 5 mM L‐lactate. Furthermore, the introduction of an α‐hemolysin circuit enhances its anti‐tumor effect.

Saarvienin A—A Novel Glycopeptide with Potent Activity against Drug‐Resistant Bacteria

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A structurally distinct glycopeptide, saarvienin A, represents a new family of glycopeptide antibiotics consisting of five sugar/aminosugar units connected to a halogenated peptide core. Saarvienin A overcomes vancomycin resistance and shows strong activity against drug‐resistant Gram‐positive bacteria, in particular, high‐priority pathogens such as ...

Structural and Biochemical Characterization of a Widespread Enterobacterial Peroxidase Encapsulin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are self‐assembling bacterial protein compartments loaded with cargo enzymes. The most abundant encapsulin cargo class are Dye‐decolorizing Peroxidases (DyPs). In this study, we structurally and biochemically characterize a DyP encapsulin found in many enterobacteria.

Engineered Probiotics Mitigate Gut Barrier Dysfunction Induced by Nanoplastics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Intestinal barrier stability is vital for gut health. Plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) disrupts this barrier, causing inflammation and infections. This study encodes transforming growth factor‐β into EcN and modifies its surface with pH‐responsive polymer (EcNT@L), creating an oral drug delivery system to repair nano PET‐induced intestinal ...
