The feasibility of using pathobiome strains as live biotherapeutic products for human use. IMETA 2024; 3:e202. [PMID: 38898988 PMCID: PMC11183195 DOI: 10.1002/imt2.202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
The evaluation of pathobiome strains should be conducted at the strain level, involving the identification of the functional genes, while considering the impact of ecological niche and drug interactions. The safety, efficacy, and quality management of live biotherapeutic products (LBPs), especially pathobiome strains, have certain peculiarities. Promising development methods include the recombinant LBP and active metabolites.

Integrating research on bacterial pathogens and commensals to fight infections-an ecological perspective. THE LANCET. MICROBE 2024:S2666-5247(24)00049-1. [PMID: 38608681 DOI: 10.1016/s2666-5247(24)00049-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
The incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections is increasing, and development of new antibiotics has been deprioritised by the pharmaceutical industry. Interdisciplinary research approaches, based on the ecological principles of bacterial fitness, competition, and transmission, could open new avenues to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. Many facultative bacterial pathogens use human mucosal surfaces as their major reservoirs and induce infectious diseases to aid their lateral transmission to new host organisms under some pathological states of the microbiome and host. Beneficial bacterial commensals can outcompete specific pathogens, thereby lowering the capacity of the pathogens to spread and cause serious infections. Despite the clinical relevance, however, the understanding of commensal-pathogen interactions in their natural habitats remains poor. In this Personal View, we highlight directions to intensify research on the interactions between bacterial pathogens and commensals in the context of human microbiomes and host biology that can lead to the development of innovative and sustainable ways of preventing and treating infectious diseases.
