Abstract Recently, multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria are responsible for a large number of infectious diseases that can be life-threatening. Globally, new approaches targeted to solve this essential issue. This study aims discover novel antibiotic alternatives by using the whole components biofilm layer as macromolecule synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) promising agent against MDR. In particular, biosynthesized biofilm-AgNPs were characterized UV-Vis spectroscopy, electron microscopes, Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), zeta sizer and potential while their effect on bacterial strains normal cell lines was identified. Accordingly, have lavender-colored solution, spherical shape, with size range 20–60 nm. Notably, they inhibitory effects when used various concentrations ranging between 12.5 25 µg/mL. addition, an effective synergistic combined phage ZCSE9 inhibit kill Salmonella enterica concentration 3.1 conclusion, work presents biosynthesis preparation AgNPs antibacterial purposes reduce possible toxicity reducing MICs ZCSE9.

In response to the global spread of antimicrobial resistance, there is an increased demand for novel and innovative antimicrobials. Bacteriophages have been known their potential clinical utility in lysing bacteria almost a century. Social pressures concomitant introduction antibiotics mid-1900s hindered widespread adoption these naturally occurring bactericides. Recently, however, phage therapy has re-emerged as promising strategy combatting resistance. A unique mechanism action cost-effective production promotes phages ideal solution addressing antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, particularly lower- middle-income countries. As number phage-related research labs worldwide continues grow, it will be increasingly important encourage expansion well-developed trials, standardization storage cocktails, advancement international collaboration. this review, we discuss history, benefits, limitations bacteriophage its current role setting resistance with specific focus on active trials case reports administration.

Gut-liver-brain axis is a three-way highway of information interaction system among the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and nervous systems. In past few decades, breakthrough progress has been made in gut liver brain axis, mainly through understanding its formation mechanism increasing treatment strategies. this review, we discuss various complex networks including barrier permeability, hormones, microbial metabolites, vagus nerve, neurotransmitters, immunity, toxic β-amyloid (Aβ) metabolism, epigenetic regulation gut-liver-brain axis. Some therapies containing antibiotics, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), polyphenols, low FODMAP diet nanotechnology application regulate Besides, some special treatments targeting gut-liver include farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists, takeda G protein-coupled 5 (TGR5) glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) antagonists fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) analogs. Targeting gut-brain embraces cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), antidepressants tryptophan metabolism-related therapies. liver-brain contains Aβ future, better interactions will promote development novel preventative strategies discovery precise therapeutic targets multiple diseases.

Phage therapy is a medical form of biological control bacterial infections, one that uses naturally occurring viruses, called bacteriophages or phages, as antibacterial agents. Pioneered over 100 years ago, phage nonetheless currently experiencing resurgence in interest, with growing numbers clinical case studies being published. This renewed enthusiasm due large part to holding promise for providing safe and effective cures infections traditional antibiotics acting alone have been unable clear. Essay introduces basic biology, provides an outline the long history therapy, highlights some advantages using phages agents, overview recent successes. Although has clear potential, it faces biological, regulatory, economic challenges its further implementation more mainstream acceptance.

The increasing drug resistance of bacteria to commonly used antibiotics creates the need search for and develop alternative forms treatment. Phage therapy fits this trend perfectly. Phages that selectively infect kill are often only life-saving therapeutic option. Full legalization treatment method could help solve problem multidrug-resistant infectious diseases on a global scale. aim review is present prospects development phage therapy, ethical legal aspects form given current situation such benefits using products in persons whom available options have been exhausted or do not exist at all. In addition, challenges faced by fight against bacterial infections also described. More clinical studies needed expand knowledge about phages, their dosage, standardized delivery system. These activities necessary ensure phage-based does take an experiment but standard medical Bacterial viruses will probably become miracle cure—a panacea infections—but they chance find important place medicine.

Abstract Persisters refer to genetically drug susceptible quiescent (non-growing or slow growing) bacteria that survive in stress environments such as antibiotic exposure, acidic and starvation conditions. These cells can regrow after removal remain the same stress. are underlying problems of treating chronic persistent infections relapse treatment, resistance development, biofilm infections, pose significant challenges for effective treatments. Understanding characteristics exact mechanisms persister formation, especially key molecules affect formation survival persisters is critical more treatment infections. Currently, genes related being discovered confirmed, but by which form very complex, there still many unanswered questions. This article comprehensively summarizes historical background bacterial persisters, details their complex relationship with tolerant resistant bacteria, systematically elucidates interplay between various biological processes cells, well consolidates diverse anti-persister compounds We hope provide theoretical in-depth research on suggest new ideas choosing strategies

Abstract Bacteriophages infect and replicate inside a bacterial host as well serve natural bio-control agents. Phages were once viewed nuisances that caused fermentation failures with cheese-making other industrial processes, which lead to economic losses, but phages are now increasingly being observed promising antimicrobials can fight against spoilage pathogenic bacteria. Pathogen-free meals fulfil industry requirements without synthetic additives always in demand the food sector. This study introduces readers history, sources, biology of bacteriophages, include their ranges, absorption mechanisms, lytic profiles, lysogenic influence external factors on growth phages. derivatives have emerged antimicrobial agents, biodetectors, biofilm controllers, been comprehensively discussed addition potential applications gastrointestinal tract, they feasible safe option for preventing, treating, and/or eradicating contaminants various foods processing environments. Furthermore, phage-derived proteins be considered traditional farm-to-fork context, phage-based mixtures commercially available phage products. paper concludes some safety concerns need addressed enable bacteriophage use efficiently.

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced priority list of most threatening pathogens against which novel antibiotics need to be developed. The discovery introduction are time-consuming expensive. According WHO’s report antibacterial agents in clinical development, only 18 have been approved since 2014. Therefore, critically needed. Artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly applied drug development its recent technical breakthrough dramatically improved efficiency antibiotics. Here, we first summarized recently marketed antibiotics, antibiotic candidates development. In addition, systematically reviewed involvement AI utilization, including small molecules, antimicrobial peptides, phage therapy, essential oils, as well mechanism prediction, stewardship.
