Abstract
The development of new antimicrobial agents to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria is of paramount importance due to increased antibiotic resistance worldwide. Herein, we show that a water-soluble porphyrin-cored hyperbranched conjugated polyelectrolyte (PorHP) exhibits high photodynamic bactericidal activity against the Gram-negative bacteria tested, including a multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen, while demonstrating low cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells. Comprehensive analyses reveal that the antimicrobial activity of PorHP proceeds via a multimodal mechanism by effective bacterial capsule shedding, strong bacterial outer membrane binding, and singlet oxygen generation. Through this multimodal antimicrobial mechanism, PorHP displays significant performance for Gram-negative bacteria with >99.9% photodynamic killing efficacy. Overall, PorHP shows great potential as an antimicrobial agent in fighting the growing threat of Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Decontamination of biofilm-associated infections presents a significant challenge due to the physical and chemical barrier created by the formation of extracellular matrices. This barrier restricts the access of antibiotics to the bacterial communities within the biofilm and provides protection to the persister cells, potentially leading to antibiotic resistance. In this study, we have developed an integrated quorum quenching biocatalytic nanoplatform for the synergistic chemo-photothermal eradication of P. aeruginosa biofilm infections. Ciprofloxacin (Cip), a model antibiotic, was absorbed onto PDA NPs through π-π stacking. Additionally, acylase (AC) was immobilized on PDA NPs through Schiff base reaction and Michael addition, resulting in the formation of the biocatalytic nanoplatform (PDA-Cip-AC NPs). This biocatalytic nanoplatform was able to enzymatically degrade AHL signaling molecules, thus achieving efficient quorum quenching activity to prevent biofilm formation. Furthermore, the NIR light-triggered on-demand Ciprofloxacin release further enhanced the eradication of P. aeruginosa biofilm infections with a synergy of local hyperthermia. We envision that this integrated quorum quenching nanoplatform provides a reliable tool for combating P. aeruginosa biofilm infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: An integrated quorum quenching biocatalytic nanoplatform has been developed for the eradication of P. aeruginosa biofilm infections. Quorum-sensing signals play a crucial role in modulating bacterial cell-to-cell communication, biofilm formation, and secretion of virulence factors. This biocatalytic nanoplatform efficiently degrades AHL signaling molecules, thereby blocking cell-to-cell communication and preventing biofilm formation. Additionally, local hyperthermia and on-demand Ciprofloxacin release were achieved through NIR irradiation, working synergistically to eradicate P. aeruginosa biofilm infections.

Abstract
Polymer-based nanomaterials have exhibited promising alternative avenues to combat the globe challenge of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection. However, most of the reported polymeric nanomaterials have facially linear amphiphilic structures with positive net charges, which may lead to nonspecific binding, high hemolysis, and uncontrollable self-organization, limiting their practical applications. In this contribution, we report a one-dimensional glyconanorod (GNR) through self-assembly of well-defined β-cyclodextrin-based glycoconjugates (RMan) featuring hydrophobic carbon-based chains and amide rhodamines with an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-recognition site and targeted and hydrophilic mannoses and positively net-charged ethylene amine groups. The GNRs show superior targeting sensing and killing for Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) dominantly through the multivalent recognition between mannoses on the nanorod and the lectin on the surface of E. coli. Moreover, red fluorescence was light on due to the hydrogen bonding between amide rhodamine and ATP. Benefiting from the designs, the GNRs are capable of possessing a higher therapeutic index and of encapsulating other antibiotics. They exhibit an enhanced effect against E. coli strains. Intriguingly, the GNRs displayed a more reduced hemolysis effect and lower cytotoxicity compared to that of ethylene glyco-modified nanorods. These results reveal that the glyconanomaterials not only feature superior and targeted bacterial sensing and antibacterial activity, but also better biocompatibility compared with the widely used PEG-covered nanomaterials. Furthermore, the in vivo studies demonstrate that the targeted and ATP-responsive GNRs complexed with antibiotics showed better treatment using a mouse model of abdominal sepsis following intraperitoneal E. coli infection. The present work describes a targeted and effective sensing and antibacterial platform based on glycoconjugates that have potential applications for the treatment of infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
While persistent efforts are being made to develop a novel arsenal against bacterial pathogens, the development of such materials remains a formidable challenge. One such strategy is to develop a multimodel antibacterial agent which will synergistically combat bacterial pathogens, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. Herein, we used pediocin, a class IIa bacteriocin, to decorate Ag° and developed a double-edged nanoplatform (Pd-SNPs) that inherits intrinsic properties of both antibacterial moieties, which engenders strikingly high antibacterial potency against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens including the ESKAPE category without displaying adverse cytotoxicity. The enhanced antimicrobial activity of Pd-SNPs is due to their higher affinity with the bacterial cell wall, which allows Pd-SNPs to penetrate the outer membrane, inducing membrane depolarization and the disruption of membrane integrity. Bioreporter assays revealed the upregulation of cpxP, degP, and sosX genes, triggering the burst of reactive oxygen species which eventually cause bacterial cell death. Pd-SNPs prevented biofilm formation, eradicated established biofilms, and inhibited persister cells. Pd-SNPs display unprecedented advantages because they are heat-resistant, retain antibacterial activity in human serum, and alleviate vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) infection in the mouse model. In addition, Pd-SNPs wrapped in biodegradable nanofibers mitigated Listeria monocytogenes in cheese samples. Collectively, Pd-SNPs exhibited excellent biocompatibility and in vivo therapeutic potency without allowing foreseeable resistance acquisition by pathogens. These findings underscore new avenues for using a potent biocompatible nanobiotic platform to combat a wide range of bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
This work describes the relationship between the antibacterial activity and the ester chain length (C1-C8) of (R)-3-Hydroxybutyric ((R)-3-HB) alkyl esters that synthesized from (R)-3-HB acid ((R)-3-HBA) by esterification reaction. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) decrease as the length of the (R)-3-HB alkyl ester chain increases from 1 to 6, but (R)-3-HB-C7 and (R)-3-HB-C8 have their own rules for different microorganisms. Among them, the (R)-3HB-C6 has the relatively best antibacterial and antifungal properties, which MIC were 1.95 mg mL-1 against E. coli and S. aureus; 0.98 mg mL-1 against C. albicans and B. subtilis; 0.49 mg mL-1 against A. niger. Finally, the antimicrobial mechanisms of the (R)-3HB-C6 are revealed, and these include disruption of biofilm and the bacterial wall/membrane, leakage of the intracellular content, and change in the transmembrane potential. These results imply the potential application of (R)-3-HB alkyl ester as new antimicrobial agents; future research can use this as an antibacterial element to synthesize new polymer materials or agents with high-efficiency antibacterial activity.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a major public-health issue. Synthesis of efficient antibiotic-free material is very important for fighting bacterial infection-related diseases. Herein, red-carbon dots (R-CDs) with a broad range of spectral absorption (350-700 nm) from organic bactericides or intermediates were synthesized through a solvothermal route. The prepared R-CDs not only had intrinsic antibacterial activities, but also could kill multidrug-resistant bacteria (multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB) and multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)) effectively by generating reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, R-CDs could eliminate and inhibit the formation of MRAB biofilms, while conferring few side effects on normal cells. A unique property of R-CDs was demonstrated upon in vivo treatment of antibiotic-sensitive MRAB-induced infected wounds. These data suggested that this novel R-CDs-based strategy might enable the design of next-generation agents to fight drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is notorious for causing serious infections of the skin, lungs, soft tissues, bloodstream, and urinary tract. Despite the overwhelming information available so far, there has still been no approved vaccine in the market to prevent these infections. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a rational vaccine design using the technique of epitope mapping to curb the infections caused by A. baumannii. An outer membrane protein with immunogenic potential as well as all the properties of a good vaccine candidate was selected and used to calculate epitopes for selection on the basis of a low percentile rank, high binding scores, good immunological properties, and non-allergenicity. Thus, a 240 amino-acid vaccine sequence was obtained by manually joining all the epitopes in sequence-wise manner with the appropriate linkers, namely AAY, GPGPG, and EAAAK. Additionally, a 50S ribosomal protein L7/L12, agonist to the human innate immune receptors was attached to the N-terminus to increase the overall immune response towards the vaccine. As a result, enhanced overall protein stability, expression, immunostimulatory capabilities, and solubility of the designed construct were observed. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed the compactness and stability of the polypeptide construct. Moreover, molecular docking exhibited strong binding of the designed vaccine with TLR-4 and TLR-9. In-silico immune simulations indicated an immense increment in T-cell and B-cell populations. Bioinformatic tools also significantly assisted with optimizing codons which allowed for successful cloning of constructs into desired host vectors. Using in-silico tools to design a vaccine against A. baumannii demonstrated that this construct could pave the way for successfully combating infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Using a virus as a template to synthesize nanomaterial is a simple, green, and controllable method to acquire unique structure nanoparticles. In this study, CdS nanowires were synthesized using the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as a template and for deposition in the inner center channel of TMV. TMV/CdS was successfully characterized, with the results showing a diameter of 4.0 nm, a cubic-phase composition, and strong fluorescence emission peaks, with an absorption edge of 566 nm and bandgap energy of 2.28 eV. The bandgap energy is narrower than that of template-free CdS. Furthermore, TMV/CdS exhibited an increased transient photocurrent, which was attributed to the effective separation of electron-hole pairs. The photoactivities of TMV/CdS and template-free CdS were tested; the results showed that the TMV/CdS had a better performance in methylene blue (MB) photodegradation, indicating that the photoactivity of TMV/CdS was higher than that of the template-free CdS. Further research on TMV/CdS regarding the photocatalytic mechanism showed that O2•- and •OH were the major species involved in photocatalysis, rather than holes (h+). Therefore, TMV/CdS might have applications as a novel visible-light-responsive photocatalyst. KEY POINTS: • CdS nanowires were firstly synthesized in the inner center channel of TMV • TMV/CdS presented higher photocatalytic efficiency compared with template-free CdS • The O2•- and •OH were responsible for the photocatalytic reaction of TMV/CdS.

Abstract
For bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, a thorough understanding of the mechanism and effective modulating is lacking due to the complex extracellular electron transfer (EET) at bacteria-surface interfaces. Here, we explore the adhesion behavior of a model electroactive bacteria under various metabolic conditions by an integrated electrochemical single-cell force microscopy system. A nonlinear model between bacterial adhesion force and electric field intensity is established, which provides a theoretical foundation for precise tuning of bacterial adhesion strength by the surface potential and the direction and flux of electron flow. In particular, based on quantitative analyses with equivalent charge distribution modeling and wormlike chain numerical simulations, it is demonstrated that the chain conformation and unfolding events of outer membrane appendages are dominantly impacted by the dynamic bacterial EET processes. This reveals how the anisotropy of bacterial conductive structure can translate into the desired adhesion behavior in different scenarios.
