The discovery of antibiotics has led to the effective treatment of bacterial infections that were otherwise fatal and has had a transformative effect on modern medicine. Teixobactin is an unusual depsipeptide natural product that was recently discovered from a previously unculturable soil bacteri...

Metabolic state-reprogramming approach was extended from Gram-negative bacteria to Gram-positive bacterium methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) for identifying desired reprogramming metabolites to synergize existing antibiotic killing to MRSA. Metabolomics comparison between MRSA an...

The global proliferation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) persists as a significant contributor to challenging infections, highlighting the urgent necessity for therapies that utilize novel mechanisms. Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), which catalyzes the initial committe...

Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in resisting the invasion of pathogens, particularly multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, which pose a significant threat to public health. While exercise offers numerous health benefits, its impact on host colonization resistance remains largely unclear. In thi...

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...
