Potential tamoxifen repurposing to combat infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli
(2021-05-26)
The development of new strategic therapies for multidrug-resistant bacteria, like the use of non-antimicrobial approaches and/or drugs repurposed to be used as monotherapies or in combination with clinically relevant ...

Synergistic Activity of Niclosamide in Combination With Colistin Against Colistin-Susceptible and Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-10-03)
Colistin is among the few antibiotics effective against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates. However, in the last few years, colistin-resistant A. baumannii and K. ...

Platelet-activating Factor Receptor Initiates Contact of Acinetobacter baumannii Expressing Phosphorylcholine with Host Cells
(2012-06)
Adhesion is an initial and important step in Acinetobacter baumannii causing infections. However, the exact molecular mechanism of such a step between A. baumannii and the host cells remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated ...

Repurposing of the Tamoxifen Metabolites to Treat Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Infections
(American Society of Microbiology, 2021-10-20)
Repurposing drugs provides a new approach to the fight against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. We have reported that three major tamoxifen metabolites, N-desmethyltamoxifen (DTAM), 4-hydroxytamoxifen (HTAM), and endoxifen ...

Efficacy of lysophosphatidylcholine as direct treatment in combination with colistin against acinetobacter baumannii in murine severe infections models
(MDPI, 2021-02-17)
The stimulation of the immune response to prevent the progression of an infection may be an adjuvant to antimicrobial treatment. Here, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) treatment in combination ...

AOA-2 Derivatives as Outer Membrane Protein A Inhibitors for Treatment of Gram-Negative Bacilli Infections
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Previously, we identified that a cyclic hexapeptide AOA-2 inhibited the interaction of Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) like Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli to host cells thereby preventing ...

Combating virulence of Gramnegative bacilli by OmpA inhibition
(Nature Research, 2017)
Preventing the adhesion of pathogens to host cells provides an innovative approach to tackling multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this regard, the identifcation of outer membrane protein A (OmpA) as a key bacterial virulence ...
