Abstract
Bacterial infection has always posed a severe threat to public health. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) exhibit exceptional biocompatibility and hold immense potential in biomedical applications. However, their antibacterial effectiveness is currently unsatisfactory. Herein, a chiral antibacterial agent with high stability was prepared by the modification of Au NPs with d-cysteine with the assistance of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The as-synthesized d-cysteine/PEG-Au NPs (D/P-Au NPs) exhibited a stronger (99.5-99.9%) and more stable (at least 14 days) antibacterial performance against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes) and Gram-positive (Salmonella enteritidis and Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria, compared with other groups. The analysis of the antibacterial mechanism revealed that the D/P-Au NPs mainly affected the assembly of ribosomes, the biosynthesis of amino acids and proteins, as well as the DNA replication and mismatch repair, ultimately leading to bacterial death, which is significantly different from the mechanism of reactive oxygen species-activated metallic antibacterial NPs. In particular, the D/P-Au NPs were shown to effectively accelerate the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds in mice to a rate comparable to or slightly higher than that of vancomycin. This work provides a novel approach to effectively design chiral antibacterial agents for bacterial infection treatment.

[PMID: 38876174 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2024.04.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Gastrointestinal biofilms are matrix-enclosed, highly heterogenic and spatially organized polymicrobial communities that can cover large areas in the gastrointestinal tract. Gut microbiota dysbiosis, mucus disruption, and epithelial invasion are associated with pathogenic biofilms that have been linked to gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer. Intestinal biofilms are highly prevalent in ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome patients, and most endoscopists will have observed such biofilms during colonoscopy, maybe without appreciating their biological and clinical importance. Gut biofilms have a protective extracellular matrix that renders them challenging to treat, and effective therapies are yet to be developed. This review covers gastrointestinal biofilm formation, growth, appearance and detection, biofilm architecture and signalling, human host defence mechanisms, disease and clinical relevance of biofilms, therapeutic approaches, and future perspectives. Critical knowledge gaps and open research questions regarding the biofilm's exact pathophysiological relevance and key hurdles in translating therapeutic advances into the clinic are discussed. Taken together, this review summarizes the status quo in gut biofilm research and provides perspectives and guidance for future research and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
In bacteria, d-amino acids are primarily synthesized from l-amino acids by amino acid racemases, but some bacteria use d-amino acid aminotransferases to synthesize d-amino acids. d-Amino acids are peptidoglycan components in the cell wall involved in several physiological processes, such as bacterial growth, biofilm dispersal, and peptidoglycan metabolism. Therefore, their metabolism and physiological roles have attracted increasing attention. Recently, we identified novel bacterial d-amino acid metabolic pathways, which involve amino acid racemases, with broad substrate specificity, as well as multifunctional enzymes with d-amino acid-metabolizing activity. Here, I review these multifunctional enzymes and their related d- and l-amino acid metabolic pathways in Escherichia coli and the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima.

Abstract
A noninvasive strategy for in situ diagnosis and precise treatment of bacterial biofilm infections is highly anticipated but still a great challenge. Currently, no in vivo biofilm-targeted theranostic agent is available. Herein, we fabricated intelligent theranostic alginate lyase (Aly)-NaNdF4 nanohybrids with a 220 nm sunflower-like structure (NaNdF4@DMS-Aly) through an enrichment-encapsulating strategy, which exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and the second near-infrared (NIR-II) luminescence. Benefiting from the site-specific targeting and biofilm-responsive Aly release from NaNdF4@DMS-Aly, we not only enabled noninvasive diagnosis but also realized Aly-photothermal synergistic therapy and real-time evaluation of therapeutic effect in mice models with Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm-induced pulmonary infection. Furthermore, such nanobiohybrids with a sheddable siliceous shell are capable of delaying the NaNdF4 dissolution and biodegradation upon accomplishing the therapy, which is highly beneficial for the biosafety of theranostic agents.

Abstract
d-Amino acids are signals for biofilm disassembly. However, unexpected metabolic pathways severely attenuate the utilization of d-amino acids in biofilm disassembly, resulting in unsatisfactory efficiency. Herein, three-dimensional poly(d-amino acid) nanoparticles (NPs), which possess the ability to block intracellular metabolism, are constructed with the aim of disassembling the biofilms. The obtained poly(α-N-acryloyl-d-phenylalanine)-block-poly(β-N-acryloyl-d-aminoalanine NPs (denoted as FA NPs) present α-amino groups and α-carboxyl groups of d-aminoalanine on their surface, which guarantees that FA NPs can effectively insert into bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) via the mediation of PG binding protein 4 (PBP4). Subsequently, the FA NPs trigger the detachment of amyloid-like fibers that connect to the PG and reduce the number of polysaccharides and proteins in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Finally, FA NPs damage the structural stability of EPS and lead to the disassembly of the biofilm. Based on this feature, FA NPs significantly enhance the killing efficacy of encapsulated sitafloxacin sesquihydrate (Sita) by facilitating the penetration of Sita within the biofilm, achieving complete elimination of Staphylococcal biofilm in mice. Therefore, this study strongly demonstrates that FA NPs can effectively improve biofilm disassembly efficacy and provide great potential for bacterial biofilm infection treatment.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic gram-negative pathogenic microorganism that poses a significant challenge in clinical treatment. Antibiotics exhibit limited efficacy against mature biofilm, culminating in an increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant strains. Therefore, novel strategies are essential to enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. D-histidine has been previously identified as a prospective anti-biofilm agent. However, limited attention has been directed towards its impact on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Therefore, this study was undertaken to explore the effect of D-histidine on Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro. Our results demonstrated that D-histidine downregulated the mRNA expression of virulence and quorum sensing (QS)-associated genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 without affecting bacterial growth. Swarming and swimming motility tests revealed that D-histidine significantly reduced the motility and pathogenicity of PAO1. Moreover, crystal violet staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy demonstrated that D-histidine inhibited biofilm formation and triggered the disassembly of mature biofilms. Notably, D-histidine increased the susceptibility of PAO1 to amikacin compared to that in the amikacin-alone group. These findings underscore the efficacy of D-histidine in combating Pseudomonas aeruginosa by reducing biofilm formation and increasing biofilm disassembly. Moreover, the combination of amikacin and D-histidine induced a synergistic effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms, suggesting the potential utility of D-histidine as a preventive strategy against biofilm-associated infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
Microbial biofilms are protected surface-attached communities of bacteria or fungi with high drug tolerance that typically cause persistent infections. Smart drug carriers are being explored as a promising platform of antimicrobials to address their recalcitrance to antibiotic agents and minimize the side effects of current therapies. In this study, soy lecithin liposomes loaded with lauric acid (LA) and myristoleic acid (MA) were formulated using an emulsification method, and their antibiofilm properties were evaluated. The physio-chemical properties of the most potent liposome were characterized using a zeta sizer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. TEM and zeta sizer analysis of the liposome revealed a homogeneous spherical structure with an average size of 159.2 nm and zeta potential of - 5.4 mV. The unilamellar liposomes loaded with LA at 0.1-0.5 µg/mL achieved obvious antibiofilm efficiency against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans and their dual biofilms. Also, LA-loaded liposome formulation efficiently disrupted preformed biofilms of S. aureus and C. albicans. Furthermore, formulated liposomal LA (0.1 µg/mL) exhibited 100-fold increased dual biofilm inhibition compared to LA alone. The single biofilms and dual biofilm formation on polystyrene were reduced as determined by 3D-bright field and scanning electron microscopy. Zeta potential measurements exhibited neutralized surface charge of S. aureus, and the liposomes inhibited hyphae formation in C. albicans. These findings demonstrated that the LA-incorporated liposomes have great potential to become a new, effective, and good antibiofilm agent for treating S. aureus and C. albicans infections.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Our previous study demonstrated that the expression of lapA was induced under phosphate depletion conditions, but its roles in virulence and biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa remain largely unknown. This study presents a systematic investigation of the roles of lapA in virulence induction and biofilm formation by constructing a lapA-deficient strain with P. aeruginosa PAO1. The results showed that deletion of the lapA gene evidently reduced elastase activity, swimming motility, C4-HSL, and 3-oxo-C12-HSL production, and increased rhamnolipid production under phosphate depletion stress. Moreover, lapA gene deletion inhibited PAO1 biofilm formation in porcine skin explants by reducing the expression levels of las and rhl quorum sensing systems and extracellular polymeric substance synthesis. Finally, lapA gene deletion also reduced the virulence of PAO1 in Caenorhabditis elegans in fast-kill and slow-kill infection assays. This study provides insights into the roles of lapA in modulating P. aeruginosa virulence and biofilm formation under phosphate depletion stress.
