Role of the multidrug resistance efflux pump MexCD-OprJ in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing response (2018)
Journal Article
Alcalde-Rico, M., Olivares Pacheco, J. A., Alvarez-Ortega, C., Camara, M., & Martinez, J. L. (2018). Role of the multidrug resistance efflux pump MexCD-OprJ in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing response. Frontiers in Microbiology, 9, Article 2752. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02752

Multidrug efflux pumps constitute a category of antibiotic resistance determinants that are a part of the core bacterial genomes. Given their conservation, it is conceivable that they present functions beyond the extrusion of antibiotics currently us...

Model-based drug development in pulmonary delivery: pharmacokinetic analysis of novel drug candidates for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection (2018)
Journal Article
Sou, T., Kukavica-Ibrulj, I., Soukarieh, F., Halliday, N., Levesque, R. C., Williams, P., …Bergström, C. A. (2019). Model-based drug development in pulmonary delivery: pharmacokinetic analysis of novel drug candidates for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection. Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 108(1), 630-640. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xphs.2018.09.017

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat worldwide. In particular, about 80% of cystic fibrosis patients have chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) lung infection resistant to many current antibiotics. We are therefore developing a novel c...

Quorum sensing in Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi and Erwinia toletana: role in virulence and interspecies interactions in the olive knot (2018)
Journal Article
Caballo-Ponce, E., Meng, X., Uzelac, G., Halliday, N., Cámara, M., Licastro, D., …Venturi, V. (2018). Quorum sensing in Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi and Erwinia toletana: role in virulence and interspecies interactions in the olive knot. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 84(18), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.00950-18

The olive-knot disease (Olea europea L.) is caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi (PSV). PSV in the olive-knot undergoes interspecies interactions with the harmless endophyte Erwina toletana (ET); PSV and ET co-localize and fo...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives (2018)
Journal Article
Soukarieh, F., Williams, P., Stocks, M. J., & Camara, M. (in press). Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.8b00540

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to public health globally, manifested by the frequent emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens that render current chemotherapy inadequate. Health organizations worldwide have recognized the sever... Read More about Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives.

Functional identification of the prnABCD operon and its regulation in Serratia plymuthica (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Yu, X., Yang, Y., Heeb, S., Gao, S., Chan, K. G., …Gao, K. (in press). Functional identification of the prnABCD operon and its regulation in Serratia plymuthica. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-018-8857-0

The antibiotic pyrrolnitrin (PRN) is a tryptophan-derived secondary metabolite that plays an important role in the biocontrol of plant diseases due to its broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activities. The PRN biosynthetic gene cluster remains to be cha... Read More about Functional identification of the prnABCD operon and its regulation in Serratia plymuthica.

In Silico and in Vitro-Guided Identification of Inhibitors of Alkylquinolone-Dependent Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2018)
Journal Article
