Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Bifidobacterium adolescentis resists first-line anti-tubercular drugs like isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and streptomycin, finding that even at high drug concentrations, the bacteria continue to grow unaffected.
- Some bacteria exhibited strong aggregation, which may help protect them from drug toxicity, and further microscopic analysis revealed that certain bacteria became elongated and protruded.
- Whole genome sequencing showed few antibiotic resistance genes or bacteriocins present, but some hypothetical proteins were observed, with 3D structure analyses suggesting possible interactions with specific ligands.
Bacteriocins are a diverse group of ribosomally synthesised antimicrobial peptides/proteins that play an important role in self-defence. They are widely used as bio-preservatives and effective substitutes for disease eradication. They can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to antibiotics to minimize the risk of resistance development.
