MetabolomicsSynergistic metabolism of salivary MUC5B in oral commensal bacteria during early biofilm formation

Bacterial metabolism in oral biofilms is comprised of complex networks of nutritional chains and biochemical regulations. These processes involve both intraspecies and interspecies networks as well as interactions with components from host saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, and dietary intake. In...

MetabolomicsAn Evolutionarily Conserved Metabolite Inhibits Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli K-12
Methylerythritol cyclodiphosphate (MEcPP) is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids in plant plastids and in bacteria, and acts as a stress signal in plants. Here, we show that MEcPP regulates biofilm formation in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. Increased MEcPP levels, triggered by genetic...

MetabolomicsFree fatty acid generation via Rhein-induced LDL-C endocytosis accelerates biofilm infected diabetic wound healing

Diabetic foot infection (DFI) significantly increases risks of hospitalization and amputation, with biofilm infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) being key drivers of treatment failure. Here, we ana...

MetabolomicsDeciphering the Anti-Biofilm Mechanism of Anthraquinone-2-Carboxylic Acid Against MRSA by Comprehensive Multi-Omics Analysis

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms exhibit high levels of drug resistance and cause nosocomial infections in humans, thus posing a sustainable global health threat. This underscores the critical need to develop novel antibiofilm therapeutics with high efficacy...

MetabolomicsPatA mediates biofilm formation and drugs resistance through regulating the synthesis of glycolipids and lipids in mycobacterium PatA mediates a novel mycolic acid synthesis pathway and regulates biofilm formation in mycobacterium
Glycolipids and lipids are prominent components of bacterial cell wall that play critical roles not only in maintaining the biofilm formation but also in resistance to environmental stress. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidyl-myo-inos...

MetabolomicsLsr2, a novel cyclic di-GMP receptor, regulate the synthesis of keto-mycolic acid and control biofilm formation in mycobacteria

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a well-known second messenger that plays a key role in many physiological processes in bacteria. The synthesis of lipids is essential for bacterial biofilm formation. However, whether c-di-GMP signaling modulates the synthesis of lipid and further regulates biofilm for...

MetabolomicsBurkholderia cenocepacia-mediated inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus growth and biofilm formation

Staphylococcus aureus asymptomatically colonizes the nasal cavity and pharynx of up to 60% of the human population and, as an opportunistic pathogen, can breach its normal habitat, resulting in life-threatening infections. S. aureus infections are of additional concern for populations with impair...

MetabolomicsFree fatty acid generation via Rhein-induced LDL-C endocytosis accelerates biofilm infected diabetic wound healing

Diabetic foot infection (DFI) significantly increases risks of hospitalization and amputation, with biofilm infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) being key drivers of treatment failure. Here, we analyze MRSA/CRE b...

MetabolomicsPhototrophic biofilm assembly in microbial-mat-derived unicyanobacterial consortia: model systems for the study of autotroph-heterotroph interactions
Microbial autotroph-heterotroph interactions influence biogeochemical cycles on a global scale, but the diversity and complexity of natural systems and their intractability to in situ manipulation make it challenging to elucidate the principles governing these interactions. The study of assembling p...

MetabolomicsMulti-Omics Elucidation of Cyclic Lipopeptide Pseudodesmin A-Mediated Biofilm eradication in Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis
In this study, we isolated and purified cyclic lipopeptide PDMA from our in-house strain Pseudomonas tolaasii ZTB4. We evaluated its antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against VREF, demonstrating that PDMA effectively eradicates mature biofilms. To decipher the mechanisms underlying this eradi...
