Overcoming antibiotic resistance caused by genetic mutations of Helicobacter pylori with mucin adhesive polymer-based therapeutics
Biomaterials. 2024 Mar 25;308:122541. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122541. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHerein, we describe the 3'-sialyllactose-polyethyleneimine-chlorine e6 conjugate (3PC), meticulously engineered to effectively target Helicobacter bacteria (H. pylori) within the gastric environment. The composition of 3PC comprises polyethyleneimine, a cationic polymer, 3'-sialyllactose, which exhibits a specific binding affinity for H. pylori surface proteins, and a photosensitizer capable of generating oxygen radicals in response to specific wavelengths. The distinctive feature of 3PC lies in its capacity to enha...

Allosteric Probe-Based Colorimetric Assay for Direct Identification and Sensitive Analysis of Methicillin Resistance of < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em >
J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 28;34(3):681-688. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2312.12042. Epub 2024 Feb 19.ABSTRACTThe accurate and rapid detection of methicillin-resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) holds significant clinical importance. However, the methicillin-resistance detection strategies commonly require complicated cell lysis and gene extraction. Herein, we devised a novel colorimetric approach for the sensitive and accurate identification of methicillin-resistance of SA by combining allosteric probe-based target recognition with self-primer elongation-based target recycling. The PBP2a aptamer in the allosteric probe suc...
