MinireviewCetylpyridinium Chloride: Mechanism of Action, Antimicrobial Efficacy in Biofilms, and Potential Risks of ResistanceAntimicrobial resistance is a serious issue for public health care all over the world. While resistance toward antibiotics has attracted strong interest among researchers and the general public over the last 2 decades, the directly related problem of resistance toward antiseptics and biocides has been somewhat left untended. In the field of dentistry, antiseptics are routinely used in professional care, but they are also included in...

Mechanisms of Action: Physiological EffectsChemokine CCL28 Is a Potent Therapeutic Agent for Oropharyngeal CandidiasisCandida albicans is a commensal organism that causes life-threatening or life-altering opportunistic infections. Treatment of Candida infections is limited by the paucity of antifungal drug classes. Naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides are promising agents for drug development. CCL28 is a CC chemokine that is abundant in saliva and has in vitro...
Mechanisms of Action: Physiological EffectsTranscriptional Inhibition of the F1F0-Type ATP Synthase Has Bactericidal Consequences on the Viability of MycobacteriaBedaquiline, an inhibitor of the mycobacterial ATP synthase, has revolutionized the treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Although a potent inhibitor, it is characterized by poorly understood delayed time-dependent bactericidal activity. Here, we demonstrate that in contrast to bedaquiline, the transcriptional inhibition of the ATP synthase in...

Efforts to discover new treatments for M. abscessus infections are accelerating, with a focus on cell wall synthesis proteins (M. abscessus...
Mechanisms of ResistanceFitness Cost and Compensatory Evolution in Levofloxacin-Resistant Mycobacterium aurumWe isolated spontaneous levofloxacin-resistant strains of Mycobacterium aurum to study the fitness cost and compensatory evolution of fluoroquinolone resistance in mycobacteria. Five of six mutant strains with substantial growth defects showed restored fitness after being serially passaged for 18 growth cycles, along with increased cellular ATP level. Whole-genome...
Mechanisms of ResistanceKPC-50 Confers Resistance to Ceftazidime-Avibactam Associated with Reduced Carbapenemase ActivityKPC-50 is a KPC-3 variant identified from a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate recovered in Switzerland in 2019. Compared to KPC-3, KPC-50 shows (i) a three-amino-acid insertion (Glu-Ala-Val) between amino acids 276 and 277, (ii) an increased affinity to ceftazidime, (iii) a decreased sensitivity to avibactam, explaining the ceftazidime-avibactam resistance, and (...
Editor's Pick Mechanisms of ResistanceChromosomal Resistance to Metronidazole in 老王2.2.3 Can Be Mediated by Epistasis between Iron Homeostasis and OxidoreductasesChromosomal resistance to metronidazole has emerged in clinical Clostridioides difficile isolates, but the genetic mechanisms remain unclear. This is further hindered by the inability to generate spontaneous metronidazole-resistant mutants in the lab to interpret genetic variations in clinical isolates. We therefore constructed a mismatch repair mutator in...
Mechanisms of ResistanceAntibiotic Substrate Selectivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MexY and MexB Efflux Systems Is Determined by a Goldilocks AffinityResistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pumps are important contributors to bacterial antibiotic resistance. In this study, we combined evolutionary sequence analyses, computational structural modeling, and ligand docking to develop a framework that can explain the known antibiotic substrate selectivity differences between two Pseudomonas aeruginosa RND...
Mechanisms of ResistanceSimulating the Influence of Conjugative-Plasmid Kinetic Values on the Multilevel Dynamics of Antimicrobial Resistance in a Membrane Computing ModelBacterial plasmids harboring antibiotic resistance genes are critical in the spread of antibiotic resistance. It is known that plasmids differ in their kinetic values, i.e., conjugation rate, segregation rate by copy number incompatibility with related plasmids, and rate of stochastic loss during replication. They also differ in cost to the cell in terms of reducing fitness and in the frequency of compensatory mutations compensating...
老王2.2.3 Mechanisms of Resistance老王v2.2.9 Activity of the Ultrabroad-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor QPX7728 against Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales with Varying Intrinsic and Acquired Resistance MechanismsQPX7728 is an investigational ultrabroad-spectrum-beta-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) with potent inhibition of key serine and metallo-beta-lactamases. QPX7728 enhances the potency of many beta-lactams, including carbapenems, in isogenic strains of Gram-negative bacteria producing various beta-lactamases. The potency of meropenem alone and in combination with QPX7728 (tested at fixed concentrations of 1 to 16 μg/ml) was tested against 598...

Mechanisms of ResistanceProteomic Investigation of the Signal Transduction Pathways Controlling Colistin Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniaeColistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae is predominantly caused by mutations that increase expression of the arn (also known as pbg or pmrF) operon. Expression is activated by the PhoPQ and PmrAB two-component systems. Constitutive PhoPQ activation occurs directly by mutation or following loss of MgrB. PhoPQ may also cross-activate...
Mechanisms of ResistancePersistence Dynamics of Antimicrobial-Resistant Neisseria in the Pharynx of Rhesus MacaquesPharyngeal infections by Neisseria gonorrhoeae are often asymptomatic, making them difficult to treat. However, in vivo animal modeling of human pharyngeal infections by pathogenic Neisseria species is challenging due to numerous host tropism barriers. We have relied on rhesus macaques to investigate pharyngeal persistence of naturally occurring ...

Antiviral AgentsFilovirus Antiviral Activity of Cationic Amphiphilic Drugs Is Associated with Lipophilicity and Ability To Induce PhospholipidosisSeveral cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs) have been found to inhibit cell entry of filoviruses and other enveloped viruses. Structurally unrelated CADs may have antiviral activity, yet the underlying common mechanism and structure-activity relationship are incompletely understood. We aimed to understand how widespread antiviral activity is among CADs and which structural and physico-chemical properties are linked to entry inhibition. We...
Antiviral AgentsIdentification of Estrogen Receptor Modulators as Inhibitors of Flavivirus InfectionFlaviviruses such as Zika virus (ZIKV), dengue virus (DENV), and West Nile virus (WNV) are major global pathogens for which safe and effective antiviral therapies are not currently available. To identify antiviral small molecules with well-characterized safety and bioavailability profiles, we screened a library of 2,907 approved drugs and pharmacologically active compounds for inhibitors of ZIKV infection using a high-throughput cell-...
