[PMID: 38678680 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2024.127733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) represent spherical particles with diameters ranging from 20 to 400 nm filled with multiple parental bacteria-derived components, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and other biomolecules. The production of bEVs facilitates bacteria interacting with their environment and exerting biological functions. It is increasingly evident that the bEVs play integral roles in both bacterial and host physiology, contributing to environmental adaptations to functioning as health promoters for their hosts. This review highlights the current state of knowledge on the composition, biogenesis, and diversity of bEVs and the mechanisms by which different bEVs elicit effects on bacterial physiology and host health. We posit that an in-depth exploration of the mechanistic aspects of bEVs activity is essential to elucidate their health-promoting effects on the host and may facilitate the translation of bEVs into applications as novel natural biological nanomaterials.

Antibacterial, antibiofilm, and chemical profiles of Ammi visnaga L. and Foeniculum vulgare mill. Essential oils, and ADMET, molecular docking investigation of essential oils major components. Fitoterapia 2024; 177:106047. [PMID: 38838824 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.106047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
This study determined chemical profiles, antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the essential oils (EOs) obtained by A. visnaga aerial parts and F. vulgare fruits. Butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, 3-methylbutyl ester (38.8%), linalyl propionate (34.7%) and limonene (8.5%) resulted as main constituents of A. visnaga EO. In F. vulgare EO trans-anethole (76.9%) and fenchone (14.1%) resulted as main components. The two EOs were active against five bacterial strains (Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus) at different degrees. The MIC values ranged from 5 ± 2 to 10 ± 2 μL/mL except for S. aureus (MIC >20 μL/mL). EOs exhibited inhibitory effect on the formation of biofilm up to 53.56 and 48.04% against E. coli and A. baumannii, respectively and activity against bacterial metabolism against A. baumannii and E. coli, with biofilm-inhibition ranging from 61.73 to 73.55%. The binding affinity of the identified components was estimated by docking them into the binding site of S. aureus gyrase (PDB code 2XCT) and S. aureus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (PDB code 1JIJ). trans-Anethole and butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, 3-methylbutyl ester showed relatively moderate binding interactions with the amino acid residues of S. aureus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. In addition, almost all predicted compounds possess good pharmacokinetic properties with no toxicity, being inactive for cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, hepatotoxicity, mutagenicity and immunotoxicity parameters. The results encourage the use of these EOs as natural antibacterial agents in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Postbiotics are (i) "soluble factors secreted by live bacteria, or released after bacterial lysis, such as enzymes, peptides, teichoic acids, peptidoglycan-derived muropeptides, polysaccharides, cell-surface proteins and organic acids"; (ii) "non-viable metabolites produced by microorganisms that exert biological effects on the hosts"; and (iii) "compounds produced by microorganisms, released from food components or microbial constituents, including non-viable cells that, when administered in adequate amounts, promote health and wellbeing". A probiotic- and prebiotic-rich diet ensures an adequate supply of these vital nutrients. During the anaerobic fermentation of organic nutrients, such as prebiotics, postbiotics act as a benevolent bioactive molecule matrix. Postbiotics can be used as functional components in the food industry by offering a number of advantages, such as being added to foods that are harmful to probiotic survival. Postbiotic supplements have grown in popularity in the food, cosmetic, and healthcare industries because of their numerous health advantages. Their classification depends on various factors, including the type of microorganism, structural composition, and physiological functions. This review offers a succinct introduction to postbiotics while discussing their salient features and classification, production, purification, characterization, biological functions, and applications in the food industry. Furthermore, their therapeutic mechanisms as antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory agents are elucidated.
