Enantiomeric glycosylated cationic block co-beta-peptides eradicate Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and antibiotic-tolerant persisters.

The treatment of bacterial infections is hindered by the presence of biofilms and metabolically inactive persisters. Here, we report the synthesis of an enantiomeric block co-beta-peptide, poly(amido-D-glucose)-block-poly(beta-L-lysine), with high yield and purity by one-shot one-pot anionic-ring opening (co)polymerization. The co-beta-peptide is bactericidal against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), including replicating, biofilm and persister bacterial cells, and also disperses biofilm biomass.

and anticandidal activities of alginate-enclosed chitosan-calcium phosphate-loaded Fe-bovine lactoferrin nanocapsules.

Aim: To study the and anticandidal activity of nanocapsulated bovine lactoferrin.

Materials & Methods: and antimicrobial activities were conducted to study the anticandidal activities of nanocapsules (NCs).

Results: The NCs showed good anticandidal activities.

In vitro and in vivo toxicity assessment of alginate/eudragit S 100-enclosed chitosan-calcium phosphate-loaded iron saturated bovine lactoferrin nanocapsules (Fe-bLf NCs).

Lactoferrin has been known to have antimicrobial properties. This research was conducted to investigate the toxicity of Alginate/EUDRAGIT S 100-enclosed chitosan-calcium phosphate-loaded Fe-bLf nanocapsules (NCs) by in vitro and in vivo assays. Brine shrimp lethality assay showed that the LC value of NCs was more than 1mg/mL which indicated that NCs was not toxic to Brine shrimp.
