DNA replication proteins as potential targets for antimicrobials in drug-resistant bacterial pathogens
With the impending crisis of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need to develop novel antimicrobials to combat difficult infections and MDR pathogenic microorganisms. DNA replication is essential for cell viability and is therefore an attractive target for antimicrobials. Although several antimicrobials targeting DNA replication proteins have been developed to date, gyrase/topoisomera...
متن کاملFresh produce as a potential vector for bacterial human pathogens
The predicted massive growth in the world overall population and the proportion of the elderly together with climate change and water shortages pose major global challenges in ensuring food security, both in terms of availability and safety. The geographic and demographic changes are likely to force unprecedented changes in land usage and agricultural practices (i.e. bringing closer together an...
متن کاملMediterranean fruit fly as a potential vector of bacterial pathogens.
The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) is a cosmopolitan pest of hundreds of species of commercial and wild fruits. It is considered a major economic pest of commercial fruits in the world. Adult Mediterranean fruit flies feed on all sorts of protein sources, including animal excreta, in order to develop eggs. After reaching sexual maturity and copulating, female flies lay eggs in fru...
متن کاملWzy-dependent bacterial capsules as potential drug targets.
The bacterial capsule is a recognized virulence factor in pathogenic bacteria. It likely works as an antiphagocytic barrier by minimizing complement deposition on the bacterial surface. With the continual rise of bacterial pathogens resistant to multiple antibiotics, there is an increasing need for novel drugs. In the Wzy-dependent pathway, the biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is r...
متن کاملNonstructural HIV proteins as targets for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines.
By the end of 2004, more than 20 HIV-1 vaccine candidates will have entered clinical testing in at least 30 trials worldwide. Almost half of these vaccines include nonstructural HIV-1 gene products. This represents an important innovation in the HIV vaccine field, because until 9 years ago not even preclinical testing in small animal models had been carried out with such immunogens. This review...
