Although antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) hold tremendous promise in overcoming the threats of multidrug resistance, main obstacle to successful therapeutic applications is their poor stability. Various synthetic strategies such as unnatural amino acids and chemical modifications have made advances for improving this problem. However, complicated synthesis often greatly increases cost production. Here, we show that a series novel peptides, designed by combining an α-helical coiled coil model,...

Significance Bacteria can produce β-lactamases, enzymes that destroy β-lactam antibiotics and thereby resist these potent target cell wall synthesis. Production of β-lactamases is often controlled by β-lactam-induced perturbations in the wall. Here, we have identified a new mechanism controlling β-lactamase production. We found signaling system which membrane-associated histidine kinase directly binds β-lactams, triggering expression resistance to antibiotics. Direct sensing may enable...

Biogenic amines (BAs) in sausages represent a health risk for consumers, and thus investigating the BAs accumulation mechanism is important to control BAs. In this study, profiles of 16 typical Chinese sausage samples were evaluated, 8 kinds common detected from different samples. As whole, contents majority within safe dosage range, except that total histamine concentrations sample HBBD above toxic levels. Furthermore, bacterial fungal communities investigated by high-throughput sequencing...

Colistin is a last-line antibiotic against Gram-negative multidrug-resistant bacteria, but the increased resistance poses huge challenge to this drug. However, mechanisms underlying such are largely unexplored. The present study first identified mutations of two genes encoding AceF subunit pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and TetR family transcriptional regulator in colistin-resistant Vibrio alginolyticus (VA-RCT ) through genome sequencing. Then, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy-based...
