Abstract
The development of effective antibacterial solutions has become paramount in maintaining global health in this era of increasing bacterial threats and rampant antibiotic resistance. Traditional antibiotics have played a significant role in combating bacterial infections throughout history. However, the emergence of novel resistant strains necessitates constant innovation in antibacterial research. We have analyzed the data on antibacterials from the CAS Content Collection, the largest human-curated collection of published scientific knowledge, which has proven valuable for quantitative analysis of global scientific knowledge. Our analysis focuses on mining the CAS Content Collection data for recent publications (since 2012). This article aims to explore the intricate landscape of antibacterial research while reviewing the advancement from traditional antibiotics to novel and emerging antibacterial strategies. By delving into the resistance mechanisms, this paper highlights the need to find alternate strategies to address the growing concern.

Abstract
Carbohydrates, one of the most abundant biomolecules found in nature, have been seen traditionally as a dietary component of foods. Recent findings, however, have unveiled their medicinal potential in the form of carbohydrates-derived drugs. Their remarkable structural diversity, high optical purity, bioavailability, low toxicity and the presence of multiple functional groups have positioned them as a valuable scaffold and an exciting frontier in contemporary therapeutics. At present, more than 170 carbohydrates-based therapeutics have been granted approval by varying regulatory agencies such as United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This article explores an overview of the fascinating potential and impact of carbohydrate-derived compounds as pharmacological agents and drug delivery vehicles.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:305. [PMID: 38666981 PMCID: PMC11047640 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13040305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Gentamicin is an essential broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic that is used in over 40 clinical conditions and has shown activity against a wide range of nosocomial, biofilm-forming, multi-drug resistant bacteria. Nevertheless, the low cellular penetration and serious side effects of gentamicin, as well as the fear of the development of antibacterial resistance, has led to a search for ways to circumvent these obstacles. This review provides an overview of the chemical and pharmacological properties of gentamicin and offers six different strategies (the isolation of specific types of gentamicin, encapsulation in polymeric nanoparticles, hydrophobization of the gentamicin molecule, and combinations of gentamicin with other antibiotics, polyphenols, and natural products) that aim to enhance the drug delivery and antibacterial activity of gentamicin. In addition, factors influencing the synthesis of gentamicin-loaded polymeric (poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chitosan) nanoparticles and the methods used in drug release studies are discussed. Potential research directions and future perspectives for gentamicin-loaded drug delivery systems are given.

Abstract
Investigations of the bacterial family Micromonosporaceae have enabled the development of secondary metabolites critical to human health. Historical investigation of bacterial families for natural product discovery has focused on terrestrial strains, where time-consuming isolation processes often lead to the rediscovery of known compounds. To investigate the secondary metabolite potential of marine-derived Micromonosporaceae , 38 strains were sequenced, assembled and analysed using antiSMASH and BiG-SLiCE. BiG-SLiCE contains a near-comprehensive dataset of approximately 1.2 million publicly available biosynthetic gene clusters from primarily terrestrial strains. Our marine-derived Micromonosporaceae were directly compared to BiG-SLiCE’s preprocessed database using BiG-SLiCE’s query mode; genetic diversity within our strains was uncovered using BiG-SCAPE and metric multidimensional scaling analysis. Our analysis of marine-derived Micromonosporaceae emphasizes the clear need for broader genomic investigations of marine strains to fully realize their potential as sources of new natural products.

Abstract
In addition to the anti-diabetic effect of metformin, a growing number of studies have shown that metformin has some exciting properties, such as anti-oxidative capabilities, anticancer, genomic stability, anti-inflammation, and anti-fibrosis, which have potent, that can treat other disorders other than diabetes mellitus. We aimed to describe and review the protective and antidotal efficacy of metformin against biologicals, chemicals, natural, medications, pesticides, and radiation-induced toxicities. A comprehensive search has been performed from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases from inception to March 8, 2023. All in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies were considered. Many studies suggest that metformin affects diseases other than diabetes. It is a radioprotective and chemoprotective drug that also affects viral and bacterial diseases. It can be used against inflammation-related and apoptosis-related abnormalities and against toxins to lower their effects. Besides lowering blood sugar, metformin can attenuate the effects of toxins on body weight, inflammation, apoptosis, necrosis, caspase-3 activation, cell viability and survival rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS), NF-κB, TNF-α, many interleukins, lipid profile, and many enzymes activity such as catalase and superoxide dismutase. It also can reduce the histopathological damages induced by many toxins on the kidneys, liver, and colon. However, clinical trials and human studies are needed before using metformin as a therapeutic agent against other diseases.

Abstract
Three biodegradable wound dressing based on binary Collagen (COL), Hyaluronic acid (HA) crosslinked loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), Gentamicin (GENT) and AgNPs/GENT successfully prepared using freeze drying technique. Chemical evaluations for synthesized membranes were carried out using FTIR- ATR. While physical properties were evaluated through swelling and degradation percent. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against G+, G-, yeast and fungi. Finally, cytotoxicity and wound healing evaluations were carried out against skin fibroblast normal cell line, while anti-inflammatory evaluated using RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. The three produced membrane showed physically interaction between polymer network and the loaded antibiotic. Swelling properties showed superior results for three membranes. Degradability of prepared sheets was rapidly no more than three days. Toxicity evaluations and anti-inflammatory showed superior results for all examined samples except mixed with AgNPs and Gentamicin (GENT). Antibacterial activity showed resistance to G+, G- and yeast. All prepared sheet showed safe towards cell except COL/HA/AgNPs/GENT. Wound healing studied showed efficient of both COL/HA/AgNPs and COL/HA/GENT compared to blank and mixed membrane COL/HA/AgNPs/GENT. The obtained results recommended COL/HA loaded individually either AgNPs or Gentamicin (GENT) as antibacterial and wound healing sheet rather than mixed prepared membrane.

Abstract
Bacteria live in polymicrobial communities and constantly compete for resources. These organisms have evolved an array of antibacterial weapons to inhibit the growth or kill competitors. The arsenal comprises antibiotics, bacteriocins, and contact-dependent effectors that are either secreted in the medium or directly translocated into target cells. During bacterial antagonistic encounters, several cellular components important for life become a weak spot prone to an attack. Nucleic acids and the machinery responsible for their synthesis are well conserved across the tree of life. These molecules are part of the information flow in the central dogma of molecular biology and mediate long- and short-term storage for genetic information. The aim of this review is to summarize the diversity of antibacterial molecules that target nucleic acids during antagonistic interbacterial encounters and discuss their potential to promote the emergence antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Following the discovery of streptomycin from Streptomyces griseus in the 1940s by Selman Waksman and colleagues, aminoglycosides were first used to treat tuberculosis and then numerous derivatives have since been used to combat a wide variety of bacterial infections. These bactericidal antibiotics were used as first-line treatments for several decades but were largely replaced by ß-lactams and fluoroquinolones in the 1980s, although widespread emergence of antibiotic-resistance has led to renewed interest in aminoglycosides. The primary site of action for aminoglycosides is the 30 S ribosomal subunit where they disrupt protein translation, which contributes to widespread cellular damage through a number of secondary effects including rapid uptake of aminoglycosides via elevated proton-motive force (PMF), membrane damage and breakdown, oxidative stress, and hyperpolarisation of the membrane. Several factors associated with aminoglycoside entry have been shown to impact upon bacterial killing, and more recent work has revealed a complex relationship between metabolic states and the efficacy of different aminoglycosides. Hence, it is imperative to consider the environmental conditions and bacterial physiology and how this can impact upon aminoglycoside entry and potency. This mini-review seeks to discuss recent advances in this area and how this might affect the future use of aminoglycosides.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of autoantibodies to protein and non-protein antigens. Here we report the identification of specific anti-carbohydrate antibodies (ACAs) that are associated with pathogenesis and progression to T1D. We compare circulatory levels of ACAs against 202 glycans in a cross-sectional cohort of T1D patients (n = 278) and healthy controls (n = 298), as well as in a longitudinal cohort (n = 112). We identify 11 clusters of ACAs associated with glycan function class. Clusters enriched for aminoglycosides, blood group A and B antigens, glycolipids, ganglio-series, and O-linked glycans are associated with progression to T1D. ACAs against gentamicin and its related structures, G418 and sisomicin, are also associated with islet autoimmunity. ACAs improve discrimination of T1D status of individuals over a model with only clinical variables and are potential biomarkers for T1D.

Abstract
Widely-used Streptomyces-derived antibacterial aminoglycosides have encountered challenges because of antibiotic resistance and toxicity. Today, they are largely relegated to medicinal topical applications. However, chemical modification to amphiphilic aminoglycosides can revive their efficacy against bacterial pathogens and expand their targets to other pathogenic microbes and disorders associated with hyperactive connexin hemichannels. For example, amphiphilic versions of neomycin and neamine are not subject to resistance and have expanded antibacterial spectra, and amphiphilic kanamycins are effective antifungals and have promising therapeutic uses as connexin hemichannel inhibitors. With further research and discoveries aimed at improved formulations and delivery, amphiphilic aminoglycosides may achieve new horizons in pharmacopeia and agriculture for Streptomyces aminoglycosides beyond just serving as topical antibacterials.

Xu F, Zhang X, Liu L, Ke X, Wu J, Guo Y, Tian X, Chu J. Engineering the methyltransferase through inactivation of the genK and genL leads to a significant increase of gentamicin C1a production in an industrial strain of Micromonospora echinospora 49-92S. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2022; 45:1693-1703.

Abstract
In this study, a single-component high-yielding Micromonospora echinospora strain 49-92S-KL01 was constructed by deleting methyltransferase-encoding genes genK and genL. In 5-L fermentation trials, gentamicin C1a titers in the mutant strain were 3.22-fold higher than that in the parental strain (211 U/mL vs. 50 U/mL). The glycolysis pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle fluxes were reduced by 26.8% and 26.6%, respectively, compared to the parental strain according to the metabolic flux analysis during the stationary phase, resulting in lower levels of energy supplements required for the cellular maintenance. Meanwhile, a significant enhancement in precursor (paromamine) accumulation and availability was observed in 49-92S-KL01 compared to parental strain. These results indicate that genK and genL significantly affect the synthesis of gentamicin C1a. In addition, this study provides a more rational strategy for gentamicin C1a production.

Abstract
Actinobacteria is an ancient phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with a characteristic high GC content to their DNA. The ActinoBase Wiki is focused on the filamentous actinobacteria, such as Streptomyces species, and the techniques and growth conditions used to study them. These organisms are studied because of their complex developmental life cycles and diverse specialised metabolism which produces many of the antibiotics currently used in the clinic. ActinoBase is a community effort that provides valuable and freely accessible resources, including protocols and practical information about filamentous actinobacteria. It is aimed at enabling knowledge exchange between members of the international research community working with these fascinating bacteria. ActinoBase is an anchor platform that underpins worldwide efforts to understand the ecology, biology and metabolic potential of these organisms. There are two key differences that set ActinoBase apart from other Wiki-based platforms: [1] ActinoBase is specifically aimed at researchers working on filamentous actinobacteria and is tailored to help users overcome challenges working with these bacteria and [2] it provides a freely accessible resource with global networking opportunities for researchers with a broad range of experience in this field.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides are potent antibiotics that are commonly prescribed worldwide. Their use carries significant risks of ototoxicity by directly causing inner ear hair cell degeneration. Despite their ototoxic side effects, there are currently no approved antidotes. Here we review recent advances in our understanding of aminoglycoside ototoxicity, mechanisms of drug transport, and promising sites for intervention to prevent ototoxicity.

Responses of methane production, microbial community and antibiotic resistance genes to the mixing ratio of gentamicin mycelial residues and wheat straw in anaerobic co-digestion process. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 806:150488. [PMID: 34607101 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of gentamicin mycelial residues (GMRs), a kind of nitrogen-rich biowaste, and wheat straw (WS) is an attractive technology for the recycling of GMRs. However, the effects of the co-substrate ratio on methane production, system stability and antimicrobial resistance during co-digestion remain unclear. Thus, this study aimed to fill in the blanks through AcoD of GMRs and WS with different mixing ratios (1:0, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 0:1, VS basis) via batch tests. Results showed that AcoD facilitated methane production than mono anaerobic digestion and reduced the accumulation of the toxic substances, such as ammonia nitrogen and humic-like substances. The maximum methane production was obtained at the reactors with the mixing ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 (R-1:1 and R-1:2), which matched with the relative abundance of key enzymes related to methanogenesis predicted by PICRUSt. Microbial community analysis indicated that Methanosaeta was the most dominant methanogen in the AcoD reactors. The highest relative abundance of Methanosaeta (45.1%) was obtained at R-1:1 due to the appropriate AcoD conditions, thus, providing greater possibilities for high stability of AcoD system. Additionally, AcoD of the GMRs and WS under the mixing ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 did not prompt the increase of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Not only that, the likelihood of horizontal gene transfer declined in R-1:1 due to the weaker connection and transport between host and recipient bacteria. Findings of this study suggested that the suitable mixing ratio of GMRs and WS contributes to methane production and system stability, and reduces the dissemination risks of ARGs.

Abstract
Micromonospora sp. TP-A0316 and Micromonospora sp. TP-A0468 are producers of arisostatin and kosinostatin, respectively. Micromonospora sp. TP-A0316 showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 100% to Micromonosporaoryzae CP2R9-1T whereas Micromonospora sp. TP-A0468 showed a 99.3% similarity to Micromonospora haikouensis 232617T. A phylogenetic analysis based on gyrB sequences suggested that Micromonospora sp. TP-A0316 is closely related to Micromonospora oryzae whereas Micromonospora TP-A0468 is an independent genomospecies. As Micromonospora sp. TP-A0468 showed some phenotypic differences to its closely related species, it was classified as a novel species, for which the name Micromonospora okii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TP-A0468T (= NBRC 110461T). Micromonospora sp. TP-A0316 and M. okii TP-A0468T were both found to harbor 15 gene clusters for secondary metabolites such as polyketides and nonribosomal peptides in their genomes. Arisostatin-biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) of Micromonospora sp. TP-A0316 closely resembled tetrocarcin A-BGC of Micromonospora chalcea NRRL 11289. A large type-I polyketide synthase gene cluster was present in each genome of Micromonospora sp. TP-A0316 and M. okii TP-A0468T. It was an ortholog of quinolidomicin-BGC of M. chalcea AK-AN57 and widely distributed in the genus Micromonospora.

Abstract
Yangpumicins (YPMs), for example, YPM A, F, and G, are newly discovered enediynes from Micromonospora yangpuensis DSM 45577, which could be exploited as promising payloads of antibody-drug conjugates. However, the low yield of YPMs in the wild-type strain (∼1 mg L-1 ) significantly hampers their further drug development. In this study, a combined ribosome engineering and fermentation optimization strategy has been used for yield improvement of YPMs. One gentamicin-resistant M. yangpuensis DSM 45577 strain (MY-G-1) showed higher YPMs production (7.4 ± 1.0 mg L-1 ), while it exhibits delayed sporulation and slender mycelium under scanning electron microscopy. Whole genome re-sequencing of MY-G-1 reveals several deletion and single nucleotide polymorphism mutations, which were confirmed by PCR and DNA sequencing. Further Box-Behnken experiment and regression analysis determined that the optimal medium concentrations of soluble starch, D-mannitol, and pharmamedia for YPMs production in shaking flasks (10.0 ± 0.8 mg L-1 ). Finally, the total titer of YPM A/F/G in MY-G-1 reached to 15.0 ± 2.5 mg L-1 in 3 L fermenters, which was about 11-fold higher than the original titer of 1.3 ± 0.3 mg L-1 in wild-type strain. Our study may be instrumental to develop YPMs into a clinical anticancer drug, and inspire the use of these multifaceted strategies for yield improvement in Micromonospora species.

Abstract
In 1998, the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin sulfate caused several cases of deaths in the United States, after the switch from twice- to once-daily application. Endotoxins were discussed as the cause for the adverse effects and sisomicin was identified as the lead impurity; batches containing sisomicin were contaminated with more impurities and were responsible for the fatalities. In 2016, anaphylactic reactions in horses, and later in humans with one fatality, were observed after application of gentamicin sulfate contaminated with histamine. To determine whether histamine was responsible for the 1990s death cases as well, histamine was quantified by means of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in 30 samples of gentamicin sulfate analyzed in previous studies. Furthermore, a relative quantification of sisomicin was performed to check for a correlation between histamine and the lead impurity. A maximum amount of 11.52 ppm histamine was detected, which is below the limit for anaphylactic reactions of 16 ppm, and no correlation of the two impurities was observed. However, the European Medicines Agency recommends a stricter limit with regard to the maximum single dose of gentamicin sulfate to reach a greater gap between the maximum histamine exposition of 4.3 µg and the quantity known to cause hypotension of 7 µg. The low amounts of histamine and the fact that there is no connection with the contamination with sisomicin showed that histamine was not the cause for the death cases in the United States in 1998, and endotoxins remain the most probable explanation.

Abstract
Personalized wound dressings provide enhanced healing for different wound types; however multicomponent wound dressings with discretely controllable delivery of different biologically active agents are yet to be developed. Here we report 3D-printed multicomponent biocomposite hydrogel wound dressings that have been selectively loaded with small molecules, metal nanoparticles, and proteins for independently controlled release at the wound site. Hydrogel wound dressings carrying antibacterial silver nanoparticles and vascular endothelial growth factor with predetermined release profiles were utilized to study the physiological response of the wound in a mouse model. Compared to controls, the application of dressings resulted in improvement in granulation tissue formation and differential levels of vascular density, dependent on the release profile of the growth factor. Our study demonstrates the versatility of the 3D-printed hydrogel dressings that can yield varied physiological responses in vivo and can further be adapted for personalized treatment of various wound types.

[PMID: 34156757 PMCID: PMC8867970 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.13864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Biofilms are communities of bacteria, fungi or yeasts that form on diverse biotic or abiotic surfaces, and play important roles in pathogenesis and drug resistance. A generic saw palmetto oil inhibited biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and fungal Candida albicans without affecting their planktonic cell growth. Two main components of the oil, lauric acid and myristic acid, are responsible for this antibiofilm activity. Their antibiofilm activities were observed in dual-species biofilms as well as three-species biofilms of S. aureus, E. coli O157:H7 and C. albicans. Transcriptomic analysis showed that lauric acid and myristic acid repressed the expressions of haemolysin genes (hla and hld) in S. aureus, several biofilm-related genes (csgAB, fimH and flhD) in E. coli and hypha cell wall gene HWP1 in C. albicans, which supported biofilm inhibition. Also, saw palmetto oil, lauric acid and myristic acid reduced virulence of three microbes in a nematode infection model and exhibited minimal cytotoxicity. Furthermore, combinatorial treatment of fatty acids and antibiotics showed synergistic antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7. These results demonstrate that saw palmetto oil and its main fatty acids might be useful for controlling bacterial infections as well as multispecies biofilms.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2020Glycosylated natural products hold great potential as drugs for the treatment of human and animal diseases. Heptoses, known as seven-carbon-chain-containing sugars, are a group of saccharides that are rarely observed in natural products. Based on the structures of the heptoses, the heptose-containing natural products can be divided into four groups, characterized by heptofuranose, highly-reduced heptopyranose, d-heptopyranose, and l-heptopyranose. Many of them possess remarkable biological properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, and pain relief activities, thereby attracting great interest in biosynthesis and chemical synthesis studies to understand their construction mechanisms and structure-activity relationships. In this review, we summarize the structural properties, biological activities, and recent progress in the biosynthesis of bacterial natural products featuring seven-carbon-chain-containing sugars. The biosynthetic origins of the heptose moieties are emphasized.

Abstract
Antibiotics are classes of antimicrobial substances that are administered widely in the field of veterinary science to promote animal health and feed efficiency. Cattle-administered antibiotics hold a risk of passing active residues to milk, during the milking process. This becomes a public health concern as these residues can cause severe allergic reactions to sensitive groups and considerable economic losses to the farmer. Hence, to ensure that the produced milk is safe to consume and adheres to permissible limits, an on-farm quick and reliable test is essential. This study illustrates the design and development of a microfluidic paper biosensor as a proof-of-concept detection system for gentamicin in milk. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of gold nanoparticles have been explored to provide the user a visual feedback on the test, which was also corroborated by RGB analysis performed using Image J. The assay involves the use of a short stretch of single stranded DNA, called aptamer, which is very specific to the gentamicin present in the milk sample. The camera-based LOD for the fabricated paper device for milk samples spiked with gentamicin was calculated to be 300 nM, with a reaction time of 2 min.

Abstract
Gentamicin is a potent broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic whose use is hampered by ototoxic side-effects. Hospital gentamicin is a mixture of five gentamicin C-subtypes and several impurities of various ranges of nonexact concentrations. We developed a purification strategy enabling assaying of individual C-subtypes and impurities for ototoxicity and antimicrobial activity. We found that C-subtypes displayed broad and potent in vitro antimicrobial activities comparable to the hospital gentamicin mixture. In contrast, they showed different degrees of ototoxicity in cochlear explants, with gentamicin C2b being the least and gentamicin C2 the most ototoxic. Structure-activity relationships identified sites in the C4'-C6' region on ring I that reduced ototoxicity while preserving antimicrobial activity, thus identifying targets for future drug design and mechanisms for hair cell toxicity. Structure-activity relationship data suggested and electrophysiological data showed that the C-subtypes both bind and permeate the hair cell mechanotransducer channel, with the stronger the binding the less ototoxic the compound. Finally, both individual and reformulated mixtures of C-subtypes demonstrated decreased ototoxicity while maintaining antimicrobial activity, thereby serving as a proof-of-concept of drug reformulation to minimizing ototoxicity of gentamicin in patients.

Abstract
Photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms has gained substantial attention due to its unique mode of action, in which pathogens are unable to generate resistance, and due to the fact that it can be applied in a minimally invasive manner. In photodynamic therapy (PDT), a non-toxic photosensitizer (PS) is activated by a specific wavelength of light and generates highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2-, type-I mechanism) or singlet oxygen (1O2*, type-II mechanism). Although it offers many advantages over conventional treatment methods, ROS-mediated microbial killing is often faced with the issues of accessibility, poor selectivity and off-target damage. Thus, several strategies have been employed to develop target-specific antimicrobial PDT (aPDT). This includes conjugation of known PS building-blocks to either non-specific cationic moieties or target-specific antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides, or combining them with targeting nanomaterials. In this review, we summarise these general strategies and related challenges, and highlight recent developments in targeted aPDT.

Abstract
Kanamycin A is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces kanamyceticus and used against a wide spectrum of bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Biosynthesis of kanamycin involves an oxidative deamination step catalyzed by kanamycin B dioxygenase (KanJ), thereby the C2' position of kanamycin B is transformed into a keto group upon release of ammonia. Here, we present for the first time, structural models of KanJ with several ligands, which along with the results of ITC binding assays and HPLC activity tests explain substrate specificity of the enzyme. The large size of the binding pocket suggests that KanJ can accept a broad range of substrates, which was confirmed by activity tests. Specificity of the enzyme with respect to its substrate is determined by the hydrogen bond interactions between the methylamino group of the antibiotic and highly conserved Asp134 and Cys150 as well as between hydroxyl groups of the substrate and Asn120 and Gln80. Upon antibiotic binding, the C terminus loop is significantly rearranged and Gln80 and Asn120, which are directly involved in substrate recognition, change their conformations. Based on reaction energy profiles obtained by density functional theory (DFT) simulations, we propose a mechanism of ketone formation involving the reactive FeIV = O and proceeding either via OH rebound, which yields a hemiaminal intermediate or by abstraction of two hydrogen atoms, which leads to an imine species. At acidic pH, the latter involves a lower barrier than the OH rebound, whereas at basic pH, the barrier leading to an imine vanishes completely.

Abstract
Actinobacteria are well recognized for their production of structurally diverse bioactive secondary metabolites, but the rare actinobacterial genera have been underexploited for such potential. To search for new sources of active compounds, an experiment combining genomic analysis and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) screening was designed to isolate and characterize actinobacterial strains from a mangrove environment in Macau. Fourteen actinobacterial strains were isolated from the collected samples. Partial 16S sequences indicated that they were from six genera, including Brevibacterium, Curtobacterium, Kineococcus, Micromonospora, Mycobacterium, and Streptomyces. The isolate sp.01 showing 99.28% sequence similarity with a reference rare actinobacterial species Micromonospora aurantiaca ATCC 27029T was selected for whole genome sequencing. Organization of its gene clusters for secondary metabolite biosynthesis revealed 21 clusters encoded to antibiotic production, which is higher than other Micromonospora species. Of the genome-predicted antibiotics, kanamycin was found through guided MS/MS analysis producible by the M. aurantiaca strain for the first time. The present study highlighted that genomic analysis combined with MS/MS screening is a promising method to discover potential of antibiotic production from rare actinobacteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by Micromonospora purpurea bacteria, effective against Gram-negative bacterial infections. Major fractions of the gentamicin complex (C1, C1a, C2, C2a) possess weak antifungal activity and one of the minor components (A, A1-A4, B, B1, X), gentamicin B1 was found to be a strong antifungal agent. METHODS This work uses in vitro and in vivo dilution methods to compare the antifusarial, antiaspergillic and anticryptococcal effects of gentamicin derivatives and structurally-related congeners. RESULTS The in vitro antifusarial activity of gentamicin B1 (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 0.4 μg/mL) and structurally-related compounds (MIC 0.8-12.5 μg/mL) suggests that the purpuroseamine ring substituents are responsible for the specific antimycotic effect. The functional groups of the garoseamine and 2-deoxystreptamine rings of gentamicin derivatives are identical in gentamicin compounds and are unlikely to exert a significant antifungal effect. Among soil dermatophytes, Microsporum gypseum was more susceptible to gentamicin B1 (MIC 3.1 µg/mL) than Trichophyton gypseum (MIC 25 µg/mL). The in vitro antifungal effect of gentamicin B1 against plant pathogenic fungi was comparable to primary antifungal agents. CONCLUSION Gentamicin is already in medical use. In vitro and preclinical in vivo synergisms of gentamicin B1 with amphotericin B suggest immediate clinical trials starting with subtoxic doses.

Abstract
Micromonospora terminaliae sp. nov., type strain TMS7T, is a gram-positive nonmotile aerobic actinobacterium that was recently isolated from a surface-sterilized stem of the medicinal plant Terminalia mucronata. This strain was described as a novel species in the Micromonospora genus. To elucidate the application potential of this species, its genome was completely sequenced, using the PacBio SMRT cell platform, and was compared with selected complete genome sequences of other Micromonospora species. Genomic analysis revealed that the genome of TMS7T consists of one circular DNA chromosome of 6,717,200 bp with a GC content of 73.35% and one plasmid of 24,912 bp with a GC content of 65.39%. The entire genome contains 6,311 predicted coding genes, 57 transfer RNAs, and nine ribosomal RNA genes. The genome contains a type III polyketide biosynthesis gene cluster, which encodes enzymes that catalyze the production of alkyl-O-dihydrogeranyl-methoxyhydroquinone. This information combined with the previous report that this strain can grow well on pH 10 medium with 4% NaCl (wt/vol) indicates that this strain may have potential biocontrol applications for economic plants cultivated on alkaline soil.

Abstract
Gentamicin C1a is an important precursor to the synthesis of etimicin, a potent antibiotic. Wild type Micromonospora purpurea Gb1008 produces gentamicin C1a, besides four other gentamicin C components: C1, C2, C2a, and C2b. While the previously reported engineered strain M. purpurea GK1101 can produce relatively high titers of C1a by blocking the genK pathway, a small amount of undesirable C2b is still being synthesized in cells. Gene genL (orf6255) is reported to be responsible for converting C1a to C2b and C2 to C1 in Micromonospora echinospora ATCC15835. In this work, we identify the genL that is also responsible for the same methylation in Micromonospora purpurea. Based on M. purpurea GK1101, we construct a new strain with genL inactivated and show that no C2b is produced in this strain. Therefore, we successfully engineer a strain of M. purpurea that solely produces gentamicin C1a. This strain can potentially be used in the industrial production of C1a for the synthesis of etimicin.

Abstract
In pharmaceutical industry, isepamicin is mainly manufactured from gentamicin B, which is produced by Micromonospora echinospora as a minor component of the gentamicin complex. Improvement of gentamicin B production through metabolic engineering is therefore important to satisfy the increasing demand for isepamicin. We hypothesized that gentamicin B was generated from gentamicin JI-20A via deamination of the C2’ amino group. Using kanJ and kanK as the gene probes, we identified the putative deamination-related genes, genR and genS, through genome mining of the gentamicin B producing strain M. echinospora CCTCC M 2018898. Interestingly, genR and genS constitute a gene cassette located approximately 28.7 kb away from the gentamicin gene cluster. Gene knockout of genR and genS almost abolished the production of gentamicin B in the mutant strain, suggesting that these two genes, which are responsible for the last steps in gentamicin B biosynthesis, constitute the missing part of the known gentamicin biosynthetic pathway. Based on these finding, we successfully constructed a gentamicin B high-yielding strain (798 mg/L), in which an overexpression cassette of genR and genS was introduced. Our work fills the missing piece to solve the puzzle of gentamicin B biosynthesis and may inspire future metabolic engineering efforts to generate gentamycin B high-yielding strains that could eventually satisfy the need for industrial manufacturing of isepamicin. Two missing genes in the biosynthetic pathway of gentamicin B were found. CRISPR/Cas9 was applied successfully to delete genes in Micromonospora echinospora. Overexpression of genR/S cassette improved gentamicin B titer by 64% in current industrial strain.

Complete reconstitution of the diverse pathways of gentamicin B biosynthesis. Nat Chem Biol 2019; 15:295-303.

Abstract
Gentamicin B (GB), a valuable starting material for the preparation of the semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic isepamicin, is produced in trace amounts by the wild-type Micromonospora echinospora. While the biosynthetic pathway to GB has remained obscure for decades, we have now identified three hidden pathways to GB production via seven hitherto unknown intermediates in M. echinospora. The narrow substrate specificity of a key glycosyltransferase and the C6′-amination enzymes, in combination with the weak and unsynchronized gene expression of the 2′-deamination enzymes, limit GB production in M. echinospora. The crystal structure of the aminotransferase involved in C6′-amination explains its substrate specificity. Some of the new intermediates displayed similar premature termination codon readthrough activity but with reduced toxicity compared to the natural aminoglycoside G418. This work not only led to the discovery of unknown biosynthetic routes to GB, but also demonstrated the potential to mine new aminoglycosides from nature for drug discovery.

Retrospective evaluation of in vitro effect of gentamicin B1 against Fusarium species. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2018; 102:10353-10359.

Abstract
The in vitro susceptibility of gentamicin fractions against Fusarium growth was the subject of this retrospective study. Fusariosis was earlier an exceptionally rare human disease and an unrealistic idea to treat soil saprophytes and plant pathogens with expensive antibiotics such as gentamicins or their minor components. Disseminated fusariosis is now the second most frequent lethal fungal infection after aspergillosis especially in neutropenic patients with hematologic malignancy. Results of this study obtained between May and November 1973 were interesting but not practicable and remained unpublished. Seven Fusarium and 28 other fungal strains were tested for their susceptibility to gentamicin B1. The anti-Fusarium activity of gentamicin B1 was between 0.2 and 3.1 μg/ml minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. The MIC values of clotrimazol and amphotericin B against Fusarium species were significantly higher, 3.1-12.5 μg/ml and 3.1-50 μg/ml, respectively. Gentamicin B1 and its structurally related congeners including hygromycin B, paromomycin, tobramycin (nebramycin factor 5'), nebramycin (nebramycin factor 4), and sisomicin exerted strong in vitro inhibition against Fusarium species between 0.2 and 12.5 μg/ml concentrations. The antibacterial MIC concentration of gentamicin B1 tested on 20 bacterial strains ranged between 0.1 and 50 μg/ml. Gentamicin B1, a minor fraction of the gentamicin complex, inhibited effectively the growth of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus subtilis) bacteria and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Proteus, Pseudomonas) pathogens. Gentamicins and related aminoglycoside antibiotics are used in medical practice. It is proposed that due to the increasing incidence of fusariosis and drug resistance, gentamicin components, particularly minor fraction B1 and related aminoglycoside antibiotics, could be tested for their in vivo activity against fusariosis and aspergillosis either alone or in combination with other antifungal agents.

Abstract
Classical aminoglycoside antibiotics are obsolete or hampered by the emergence of drug resistant bacteria. Recent discoveries of antifungal amphiphilic kanamycins offer new strategies for reviving and repurposing these old drugs. A simple structural modification turns the clinically obsolete antibacterial kanamycin into an antifungal agent. Structure-activity relationship studies have led to the production of K20, an antifungal kanamycin that can be mass-produced for uses in agriculture as well as in animals. This review delineates the path to the discovery of K20 and other related antifungal amphiphilic kanamycins, determination of its mode of action, and findings in greenhouse and field trials with K20 that could lead to crop disease protection strategies.

Abstract
The aminoglycoside antibiotics, discovered as natural products in the 1940s, demonstrate a broad antimicrobial spectrum. Due to their nephrotoxic and ototoxic side effects, however, their widespread clinical usage has typically been limited to the treatment of serious infections. Neomycin B, first isolated from strains of Streptomyces in 1948, is one such drug that was approved for human use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1964. Only within the last 11 years has the biochemical pathway for its production been elaborated, however. Here we present the three-dimensional architecture of NeoB from Streptomyces fradiae, which is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate or PLP-dependent aminotransferase that functions on two different substrates in neomycin B biosynthesis. For this investigation, four high resolution X-ray structures of NeoB were determined in various complexed states. The overall fold of NeoB is that typically observed for members of the "aspartate aminotransferase" family with the exception of an additional three-stranded antiparallel β-sheet that forms part of the subunit-subunit interface of the dimer. The manner in which the active site of NeoB accommodates quite different substrates has been defined by this investigation. In addition, during the course of this study, we also determined the structure of the aminotransferase GenB1 to high resolution. GenB1 functions as an aminotransferase in gentamicin biosynthesis. Taken together, the structures of NeoB and GenB1, presented here, provide the first detailed descriptions of aminotransferases that specifically function on aldehyde moieties in aminoglycoside biosynthesis.

Abstract
Phocoenamicins B and C (1 and 2), together with the known spirotetronate phocoenamicin (3), were isolated from cultures of Micromonospora sp. The acetone extract from a culture of this strain, isolated from marine sediments collected in the Canary Islands, displayed activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis. Bioassay-guided fractionation of this extract using SP207ss column chromatography and preparative reversed-phased HPLC led to the isolation of the new compounds 1 and 2 belonging to the spirotetronate class of polyketides. Their structures were determined using a combination of HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR experiments and comparison with the spectra reported for phocoenamicin. Antibacterial activity tests of the pure compounds against these pathogens revealed minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 4 to 64 µg/mL for MRSA, and 16 to 32 µg/mL for M. tuberculosis H37Ra, with no significant activity found against M. bovis and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) at concentrations below 128 µg/mL, and weak activity detected against Bacillus subtilis grown on agar plates.

Abstract
There is a need to clarify relationships within the actinobacterial genus Micromonospora, the type genus of the family Micromonosporaceae, given its biotechnological and ecological importance. Here, draft genomes of 40 Micromonospora type strains and two non-type strains are made available through the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project and used to generate a phylogenomic tree which showed they could be assigned to well supported phyletic lines that were not evident in corresponding trees based on single and concatenated sequences of conserved genes. DNA G+C ratios derived from genome sequences showed that corresponding data from species descriptions were imprecise. Emended descriptions include precise base composition data and approximate genome sizes of the type strains. antiSMASH analyses of the draft genomes show that micromonosporae have a previously unrealised potential to synthesize novel specialized metabolites. Close to one thousand biosynthetic gene clusters were detected, including NRPS, PKS, terpenes and siderophores clusters that were discontinuously distributed thereby opening up the prospect of prioritising gifted strains for natural product discovery. The distribution of key stress related genes provide an insight into how micromonosporae adapt to key environmental variables. Genes associated with plant interactions highlight the potential use of micromonosporae in agriculture and biotechnology.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides are a group of antibiotics used since the 1940s to primarily treat a broad spectrum of bacterial infections. The primary resistance mechanism against these antibiotics is enzymatic modification by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes that are divided into acetyl-transferases, phosphotransferases, and nucleotidyltransferases. To overcome this problem, new semisynthetic aminoglycosides were developed in the 70s. The most widely used semisynthetic aminoglycoside is amikacin, which is refractory to most aminoglycoside modifying enzymes. Amikacin was synthesized by acylation with the l-(-)-γ-amino-α-hydroxybutyryl side chain at the C-1 amino group of the deoxystreptamine moiety of kanamycin A. The main amikacin resistance mechanism found in the clinics is acetylation by the aminoglycoside 6'-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [AAC(6')-Ib], an enzyme coded for by a gene found in integrons, transposons, plasmids, and chromosomes of Gram-negative bacteria. Numerous efforts are focused on finding strategies to neutralize the action of AAC(6')-Ib and extend the useful life of amikacin. Small molecules as well as complexes ionophore-Zn+2 or Cu+2 were found to inhibit the acetylation reaction and induced phenotypic conversion to susceptibility in bacteria harboring the aac(6')-Ib gene. A new semisynthetic aminoglycoside, plazomicin, is in advance stage of development and will contribute to renewed interest in this kind of antibiotics.

Abstract
Many cobalamin (Cbl)-dependent radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) methyltransferases have been identified through sequence alignment and/or genetic analysis; however, few have been studied in vitro. GenK is one such enzyme that catalyzes methylation of the 6'-carbon of gentamicin X2 (GenX2) to produce G418 during the biosynthesis of gentamicins. Reported herein, several alternative substrates and fluorinated substrate analogs were prepared to investigate the mechanism of methyl transfer from Cbl to the substrate as well as the substrate specificity of GenK. Experiments with deuterated substrates are also shown here to demonstrate that the 6'-pro-R-hydrogen atom of GenX2 is stereoselectively abstracted by the 5'-dAdo· radical and that methylation occurs with retention of configuration at C6'. Based on these observations, a model of GenK catalysis is proposed wherein free rotation of the radical-bearing carbon is prevented and the radical SAM machinery sits adjacent rather than opposite to the Me-Cbl cofactor with respect to the substrate in the enzyme active site.

Abstract
AIMS To systematically review the frequency and type of adverse events associated with a single dose of intravenous or intramuscular gentamicin in adults, for any indication, in studies where a comparator was available. METHODS A review protocol was developed and registered (PROSPERO: CRD42013003229). Studies were eligible for review if they: recruited participants aged ≥16 years; used gentamicin intramuscularly or intravenously as a single one-off dose; compared gentamicin to another medication or placebo; and monitored adverse events. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, trial registries, conference proceedings and other relevant databases were searched up to November 2016. Risk of bias was assessed on all included studies. RESULTS In total, 15 522 records were identified. After removal of duplicates, screening of title/abstracts for relevance and independent selection of full texts by two reviewers, 36 studies were included. Across all the included studies, 24 107 participants received a single one-off dose of gentamicin (doses ranged from 1 mg kg-1 to 480 mg per dose). Acute kidney injury was described in 2520 participants receiving gentamicin. The large majority of cases were reversible. There were no cases of ototoxicity reported in patients receiving gentamicin. A meta-analysis was not performed due to study heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS A significant number of patients saw a transient rise in creatinine after a single dose of gentamicin at doses up to 480 mg. Persistent renal impairment and other adverse events were relatively rare.

Abstract
Antibiotics such as gentamicin (an aminoglycoside) and penicillin (a beta-lactam antibiotic) are routinely used in retinal cell and explant cultures. In many cases, these in vitro systems are testing parameters regarding photoreceptor transplantation or preparing cells for transplantation. In vivo, milligram doses of gentamicin are neurotoxic to the retina. However, little is known about the effects of antibiotics to retina in vitro and whether smaller doses of gentamicin are toxic to retinal cells. To test toxicity, retinal cells were dissociated from tiger salamander, placed in culture, and treated with either 20 μg/ml gentamicin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 100 U/ml antibiotic/antimycotic, 0.25 μg/ml amphotericin B, or 100 U/ml penicillin G. All dosages were within manufacturer's recommended levels. Control cultures had defined medium only. Cells were fixed at 2 h or 7 days. Three criteria were used to assess toxicity: (1) survival of retinal neurons, (2) neuritic growth of photoreceptors assessed by the development of presynaptic varicosities, and (3) survival and morphology of Mueller cells. Rod cells were immunolabeled for rod opsin, Mueller cells for glial fibrillary acidic protein, and varicosities for synaptophysin. Neuronal cell density was reduced with all pharmacological treatments. The number of presynaptic varicosities was also significantly lower in both rod and cone photoreceptors in treated compared to control cultures; further, rods were more sensitive to gentamicin than cones. Penicillin G (100 U/ml) was overall the least inhibitory and amphotericin B the most toxic of all the agents to photoreceptors. Mueller cell survival was reduced with all treatments; reduced survival was accompanied by the appearance of proportionally fewer stellate and more rounded glial morphologies. These findings suggest that even microgram doses of antibiotic and antimycotic drugs can be neurotoxic to retinal cells and reduce neuritic regeneration in cell culture systems.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) were developed at the dawn of the antibiotics era and have significantly aided in the treatment of infectious diseases. Aminoglycosides have become one of the four major types of antibiotics in use today and, fortunately, still have an important role in the clinical treatment of severe bacterial infections. In this review, the current usage, modes of action and side effects of AGAs, along with the most common bacterial resistance mechanisms, are outlined. Finally, the recent development situation and possibility of new AGAs in the 'post-antibiotic era' are considered.The Journal of Antibiotics advance online publication, 25 October 2017; doi:10.1038/ja.2017.117.

Abstract
The goal of this review article is to discuss the etiology of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in individuals with impaired bladder emptying, evaluate existing studies regarding UTI prevention strategies in this population, and explore the published experiences with intravesical therapy for the prevention and treatment of recurrent UTIs in patients performing clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). We will also describe the intravesical antibiotic protocol utilized at our institution.

Abstract
Despite their inherent toxicity and the global spread of bacterial resistance, aminoglycosides (AGs), an old class of microbial drugs, remain a valuable component of the antibiotic arsenal. Recent studies have continued to reveal the fascinating biochemistry of AG biosynthesis and the rich potential in their pathway engineering. In particular, parallel pathways have been shown to be common and widespread in AG biosynthesis, highlighting nature’s ingenuity in accessing diverse natural products from a limited set of genes. In this review, we discuss the parallel biosynthetic pathways of three representative AG antibiotics—kanamycin, gentamicin, and apramycin—as well as future directions towards the discovery and development of novel AGs.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is often underestimated because renal clearance in animals is higher compared to in humans. This paper aims to illustrate the potential to fill in such pharmacokinetic gaps between animals and humans using a microfluidic kidney model. As an initial demonstration, we compare nephrotoxicity of a drug, administered at the same total dosage, but using different pharmacokinetic regimens. Kidney epithelial cell, cultured under physiological shear stress conditions, are exposed to gentamicin using regimens that mimic the pharmacokinetics of bolus injection or continuous infusion in humans. The perfusion culture utilized is important both for controlling drug exposure and for providing cells with physiological shear stress (1.0 dyn cm(-2)). Compared to static cultures, perfusion culture improves epithelial barrier function. We tested two drug treatment regimens that give the same gentamycin dose over a 24 h period. In one regimen, we mimicked drug clearance profiles for human bolus injection by starting cell exposure at 19.2 mM of gentamicin and reducing the dosage level by half every 2 h over a 24 h period. In the other regimen, we continuously infused gentamicin (3 mM for 24 h). Although junctional protein immunoreactivity was decreased with both regimens, ZO-1 and occludin fluorescence decreased less with the bolus injection mimicking regimen. The bolus injection mimicking regimen also led to less cytotoxicity and allowed the epithelium to maintain low permeability, while continuous infusion led to an increase in cytotoxicity and permeability. These data show that gentamicin disrupts cell-cell junctions, increases membrane permeability, and decreases cell viability particularly with prolonged low-level exposure. Importantly a bolus injection mimicking regimen alleviates much of the nephrotoxicity compared to the continuous infused regimen. In addition to potential relevance to clinical gentamicin administration regimens, the results are important in demonstrating the general potential of using microfluidic cell culture models for pharmacokinetics and toxicity studies.

Abstract
Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria with high G+C DNA content that constitute one of the largest bacterial phyla, and they are ubiquitously distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Many Actinobacteria have a mycelial lifestyle and undergo complex morphological differentiation. They also have an extensive secondary metabolism and produce about two-thirds of all naturally derived antibiotics in current clinical use, as well as many anticancer, anthelmintic, and antifungal compounds. Consequently, these bacteria are of major importance for biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture. Actinobacteria play diverse roles in their associations with various higher organisms, since their members have adopted different lifestyles, and the phylum includes pathogens (notably, species of Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Propionibacterium, and Tropheryma), soil inhabitants (e.g., Micromonospora and Streptomyces species), plant commensals (e.g., Frankia spp.), and gastrointestinal commensals (Bifidobacterium spp.). Actinobacteria also play an important role as symbionts and as pathogens in plant-associated microbial communities. This review presents an update on the biology of this important bacterial phylum.
