Structure of the Francisella response regulator QseB receiver domain, and characterization of QseB inhibition by antibiofilm 2-aminoimidazole-based compounds
MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY, 106(2), 223–235.
MeSH headings : Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Bacterial Proteins / chemistry; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Bacterial Proteins / ultrastructure; Biofilms / drug effects; Francisella tularensis / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial / genetics; Imidazoles / metabolism; Imidazoles / pharmacology; Protein Binding; Virulence / drug effects; Virulence Factors / genetics; Virulence Factors / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Bacillus and Francisella bacterial research; Bacterial biofilms and quorum sensing; Bacterial Genetics and Biotechnology
TL;DR:
It is shown that QseB interacts with 2‐aminoimidazole based compounds that impede its function, and this information will assist in tailoring compounds to act as adjuvants that will enhance the effect of antibiotics.

Marine sponge alkaloids as a source of anti-bacterial adjuvants
BIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS, 26(24), 5863–5866.
author keywords: Marine sponge; Pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid; Biofilm; Antibiotic; Adjuvant
MeSH headings : Acinetobacter baumannii / drug effects; Alkaloids / chemistry; Alkaloids / metabolism; Alkaloids / pharmacology; Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / chemistry; Anti-Bacterial Agents / metabolism; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Imidazoles / chemistry; Imidazoles / pharmacology; Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus / drug effects; Microbial Sensitivity Tests; Molecular Structure; Porifera; Pyrroles / chemistry; Pyrroles / pharmacology; Structure-Activity Relationship
topics (OpenAlex): Marine Sponges and Natural Products; Antimicrobial Peptides and Activities; Microbial Natural Products and Biosynthesis
TL;DR:
The potential of marine secondary metabolites to serve as a source of non-traditional anti-bacterial agents is demonstrated by showing that pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids inhibit biofilm formation and suppress antibiotic resistance.

Potentiation of Francisella resistance to conventional antibiotics through small molecule adjuvants
MEDCHEMCOMM, 7(1), 128–131.
topics (OpenAlex): Bacillus and Francisella bacterial research; Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria; Bacterial biofilms and quorum sensing
TL;DR:
A screen of 20 compounds identified small molecule adjuvants capable of potentiating anitbiotic activty against Francisella philomiragia and led to the discovery of a potentially new class of small molecule aduvants containg an indole core.
