QseC Inhibitors as an Antivirulence Approach for Gram-Negative Pathogens
UNLABELLED Invasive pathogens interface with the host and its resident microbiota through interkingdom signaling. The bacterial receptor QseC, which is a membrane-bound histidine sensor kinase, responds to the host stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine and the bacterial signal AI-3, integrating interkingdom signaling at the biochemical level. Importantly, the QseC signaling cascade is ...
متن کاملQseC inhibition as an antivirulence approach for colitis-associated bacteria.
Hosts and their microbes have established a sophisticated communication system over many millennia. Within mammalian hosts, this dynamic cross-talk is essential for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. In a genetically susceptible host, dysbiosis of the gut microbiome and dysregulated immune responses are central to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Previous surveys of stool f...
متن کاملLpxC Inhibitors as New Antibacterial Agents and Tools for Studying Regulation of Lipid A Biosynthesis in Gram-Negative Pathogens
UNLABELLED The problem of multidrug resistance in serious Gram-negative bacterial pathogens has escalated so severely that new cellular targets and pathways need to be exploited to avoid many of the preexisting antibiotic resistance mechanisms that are rapidly disseminating to new strains. The discovery of small-molecule inhibitors of LpxC, the enzyme responsible for the first committed step in...
متن کاملIn vitro characterization of the antivirulence target of Gram-positive pathogens, peptidoglycan O-acetyltransferase A (OatA)
The O-acetylation of the essential cell wall polymer peptidoglycan occurs in most Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including species of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Enterococcus. This modification to peptidoglycan protects these pathogens from the lytic action of the lysozymes of innate immunity systems and, as such, is recognized as a virulence factor. The key enzyme involved, peptidogl...
متن کاملClinical problems posed by multiresistant nonfermenting gram-negative pathogens.
In this review I will briefly survey the role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Burkholderia cepacia as opportunistic pathogens. A common feature of these organisms is intrinsic resistance to multiple antibiotics. All of these organisms can be recovered from the environment, commonly cause device-related infections, are often resistant to disin...
