Impact of different cell penetrating peptides on the efficacy of antisense therapeutics for targeting intracellular pathogens.
There is a pressing need for novel and innovative therapeutic strategies to address infections caused by intracellular pathogens. Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) present a novel method to target intracellular pathogens due to their unique mechanism of action and their ability to be conjugated to cell penetrating peptides (CPP) to overcome challenging delivery barriers. In this study, we targeted t...
متن کاملDrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Surveillance1
Conference Summary Drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Surveillance 1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a conference on March 12–13, 2003, in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss improving state-based surveillance of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The C...
متن کاملTriple-acting Lytic Enzyme Treatment of Drug-Resistant and Intracellular Staphylococcus aureus
Multi-drug resistant bacteria are a persistent problem in modern health care, food safety and animal health. There is a need for new antimicrobials to replace over used conventional antibiotics. Here we describe engineered triple-acting staphylolytic peptidoglycan hydrolases wherein three unique antimicrobial activities from two parental proteins are combined into a single fusion protein. This ...
متن کاملEvaluation of short synthetic antimicrobial peptides for treatment of drug-resistant and intracellular Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections present a serious challenge because of the emergence of resistance to numerous conventional antibiotics. Due to their unique mode of action, antimicrobial peptides are novel alternatives to traditional antibiotics for tackling the issue of bacterial multidrug resistance. Herein, we investigated the antibacterial activity of two short...
متن کاملRifampicin fails to eradicate mature biofilm formed by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial activity on biofilms depends on their molecular size, positive charges, permeability coefficient, and bactericidal activity. Vancomycin is the primary choice for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection treatment; rifampicin has interesting antibiofilm properties, but its effectivity remains poorly defined. METHODS Rifampicin activity alone and i...
