Synthesis, structural elucidation and biological activities of organotin(IV) derivatives of 4-(2-thienyl)butyric acid

A series of tri- and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of 4-(2-thienyl)butyric acid have been synthesized by the reaction of ligand acid with tri- and diorganotin salts in 1:1 and 2:1 molar ratios, respectively. The synthesized compounds have been confirmed by C ...

Sensing Gram-negative bacteria: a phylogenetic perspective

Bruno Lemaitre, Claudine Danielle Patricia Öngen

Gram-negative bacteria represent a major group of pathogens that infect all eukaryotes from plants to mammals. Gram-negative microbe-associated molecular patterns include lipopolysaccharides and peptidoglycans, major immunostimulatory determinants across p ...

Quantitative Single-Cell Analysis of Host-Pathogen Interactions

Matthieu Jean-Hubert Delincé

During infection, microbial pathogens encounter phagocytic cells of the host innate immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils. These encounters typically lead to uptake and killing of the bacteria by the host cell or, conversely, parasitization of ...

A benzamide-dependent ftsZ mutant reveals residues crucial for Z-ring assembly

David William Adams

In almost all bacteria, cell division is co-ordinated by the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ and represents an attractive but as yet unexploited target for new antibiotics. The benzamides, e.g. PC190723, are potent FtsZ inhibitors that have the potential ...

Mechanical and Functional Study of Cell Physiology at the Nanoscale

Pascal Damian Odermatt

By live-cell imaging of biological samples dynamic cellular processes can be resolved. Fluorescence microscopy (FM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are both capable of imaging live cells. By combining these techniques structural as well as functional inf ...

Bactericidal activity and mechanism of action of copper-sputtered flexible surfaces against multidrug-resistant pathogens

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

Using direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS), we generated flexible copper polyester surfaces (Cu-PES) and investigated their antimicrobial activity against a range of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens including eight Gram-positive isolates (three me ...

Super-resolution imaging of multiple cells by optimized flat-field epi-illumination

Suliana Manley, Christian Sieben, Kyle Michael Douglass, Anna Archetti, Ambroise Justin Lambert

Biological processes are inherently multi-scale, and supramolecular complexes at the nanoscale determine changes at the cellular scale and beyond. Single-molecule localizationmicroscopy (SMLM)(1-3) techniques have been established as important tools for st ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Resists Stress by Regulating PE19 Expression

John McKinney, Anna De Graff Tischler

Mycobacterium tuberculosis requires the phosphate-sensing signal transduction system Pst/SenX3-RegX3 to resist host immune responses. A Delta pstA1 mutant lacking a Pst phosphate uptake system component is hypersensitive to diverse stress conditions in vit ...
