Covalent Lectin Inhibition and Application in Bacterial Biofilm Imaging
Biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria is a hallmark of chronic infections. In many cases, lectins play key roles in establishing biofilms. The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa often exhibiting various drug resistances employs its lectins LecA and LecB as virulence factors and biofilm building blocks. Therefore, inhibition of the function of these proteins is thought to have potential in devel...
متن کاملBacterial Biofilm: Dispersal and Inhibition Strategies
Bacterial biofilms are communities of microorganisms residing within a polysaccharide matrix. Dental plaque, slimy coating in tanks, and algal mats on bodies of water are examples of biofilms. It is well accepted that biofilms play important role in bacterial persistence and antibiotic resistance in chronic infections. It is acknowledged that the majority of microbial cells on earth are living ...
متن کاملbacterial biofilm and its inhibition mechanisms relying on anti-biofilm properties of plant compounds
abstract biofilm is a complex community of microorganisms residing within a polysaccharide and/or protein matrix. biofilm can be produced by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. both gram positive and gram negative bacteria have this ability. resistance of biofilm to antimicrobial agents is becoming a global issue. bacterial biofilms are important in various aspects such as chronic human ...
متن کاملBacterial Biofilm Formation in Milking Equipments in Lilongwe, Malawi
Background: Some microorganisms can adhere to food handling surfaces forming biofilms that pose a safety challenge. This study was done to evaluate bacterial biofilm formation in milking equipments in Lilongwe, Malawi. Methods: Pooled milk (n=54) and water (n=60) samples were collected from households and milk bulking groups in Lilongwe, Malawi. Swabbing (n=46) and rinsing (n=16) were done on ...
متن کاملMultivalency effects on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm inhibition and dispersal by glycopeptide dendrimers targeting lectin LecA.
The galactose specific lectin LecA partly mediates the formation of antibiotic resistant biofilms by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen causing lethal airways infections in immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting that preventing LecA binding to natural saccharides might provide new opportunities for treatment. Here 8-fold (G3) and 16-fold (G4) galactosylated an...
