Peptide IDR-1018: modulating the immune system and targeting bacterial biofilms to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
Host defense (antimicrobial) peptides, produced by all complex organisms, typically contain an abundance of positively charged and hydrophobic amino acid residues. A small synthetic peptide termed innate defense regulator (IDR-)1018 was derived by substantial modification of the bovine neutrophil host defense peptide bactenecin. Here, we review its intriguing properties that include anti-infect...
متن کاملHow to Treat Bacterial Keratitis
How to Treat Bacterial Keratitis Bacterial keratitis in dogs is a common disease that can be aggressive and may threaten vision. The exact pathogenesis is unknown. Culture of the cornea should be done when bacterial keratitis is suspected, and many suspected or confirmed cases are treated with cefazolin and tobramycin or with ciprofloxacin alone. All of these regimens provide a broad spectrum o...
متن کاملStomatitis and dermatophytosis coincident to streptomycin therapy.
Four cases of streptomycin stomatiti are presented together with three cases of eczematous dermatitis of the hands and feet coincident with streptomycin therapy, and attention is called to association of stomatitis with a vulvar mycotic lesion in one instzmce and Concomitant stomatitis with severe trichophytoid lesions of hands and feet in another. While the over-all series of treatment with st...
متن کاملVerticalization of bacterial biofilms
Biofilms are communities of bacteria adhered to surfaces. Recently, biofilms of rod-shaped bacteria were observed at single-cell resolution and shown to develop from a disordered, two-dimensional layer of founder cells into a three-dimensional structure with a vertically-aligned core. Here, we elucidate the physical mechanism underpinning this transition using a combination of agent-based and c...
متن کاملOptimising Antibiotic Usage to Treat Bacterial Infections
The increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria poses a threat to the continued use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics has been identified as a significant driver in the emergence of resistance. Finding optimal treatment regimens is therefore critical in ensuring the prolonged effectiveness of these antibiotics. This study uses mathematical modelli...
