Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) poses an alarming threat in clinical settings and global public health owing to its high pathogenicity, epidemic success rapid development of drug resistance, especially the emergence carbapenem-resistant lineages (CR-hvKP). With decline “last resort” antibiotic class decreasing efficacy first-line antibiotics, innovative alternative therapeutics are urgently needed. Capsule, essential virulence determinant, is a major cause enhanced pathogenicity hvKP thus represents attractive target prevent devastating outcomes caused by infection. Here, we identified isoferulic acid (IFA), natural phenolic compound widely present traditional herbal medicines, as potent broad-spectrum K . capsule inhibitor that suppresses polysaccharide synthesis increasing energy status bacteria. In this way, IFA remarkably reduced thickness impaired hypercapsule-associated hypermucoviscosity phenotype (HMV), thereby significantly sensitizing complement-mediated bacterial killing accelerating host cell adhesion phagocytosis. Consequently, facilitated effective clearance protected mice from lethal infection, evidenced limited dissemination significant improvement survival rate. conclusion, work promotes capsule-targeted therapeutic strategy for use promising candidate intervention curb particularly drug-resistant cases.

With the irrational use of antibiotics and increasing abuse oral antibiotics, drug resistance gastrointestinal pathogens has become a prominent problem in clinical practice. Gut microbiota plays an important role maintaining human health, change also affects activity pathogenic bacteria. Interfering with antibiotic resistant bacteria by affecting gut regulatory signal. In application, due to unique advantages traditional Chinese medicine sterilization resistance, it is possible for improve microbial microenvironment. This review discusses strategies treatment drug-resistant bacterial infections changing microenvironment, unlocking interaction between

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP)-targeted kinase 1 (PPK1) has attracted much attention by virtue of its importance in bacterial pathogenicity and persistence, as well exclusive presence microorganisms. However, only very few drugs have been found to be efficacious inhibiting the Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) PPK1 protein.

Salmonella spp. remains a major worldwide health concern that causes significant morbidity and mortality in both humans animals. The spread of antimicrobial resistant strains has declined the efficacy conventional chemotherapy. Thus, novel anti-infection drugs or strategies are needed. Anti-virulence strategy represents one promising means for treatment bacterial infections. In this study, we found natural compound fisetin could inhibit invasion host cells by targeting SPI-1 regulation. Fisetin impaired interaction regulatory protein HilD with promoters its target genes, thereby suppressing expression T3SS-1 effectors as well structural proteins. Moreover, reduce pathology murine infection model. Collectively, our results suggest may serve lead development anti-Salmonella drugs.
