Journal ArticleDOI

Cationic Pillararenes Potently Inhibit Biofilm Formation without Affecting Bacterial Growth and Viability.

TL;DR: It is reported that water-soluble cationic pillararenes differing in the quaternary ammonium groups efficiently inhibited the formation of biofilms by clinically important Gram-positive pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial-derived exopolysaccharides enhance antifungal drug tolerance in a cross-kingdom oral biofilm.

TL;DR: It is shown that the combination of clinically used topical antifungal fluconazole with povidone iodine (PI) can completely suppress C. albicans carriage and mixed-biofilm formation without increasing bacterial killing activity in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

6′′‐Thioether Tobramycin Analogues: Towards Selective Targeting of Bacterial Membranes

TL;DR: Three modes of action lead to bacterial resistance to AGs: reduction in the intracellular concentration of the antibiotics by efflux pump proteins or through reduced membrane permeability; structural modifications of the 16S ribosomal RNA leading to reduced target affinity; and deactivation by AG-modifying enzymes (AMEs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the Substrate Promiscuity of Drug-Modifying Enzymes for the Chemoenzymatic Generation of N-Acylated Aminoglycosides

TL;DR: The chemoenzymatic approach offers access to regioselectively N‐acylated aminoglycosides in quantities that allow testing of the antibacterial potential of the synthetic analogues making it possible to decide which molecules will be worth synthesizing on a larger scale.
