Published: June 2023

The interactions between bacterial virulence factors and host receptors play a critical role during bacterial infection. Therefore, the identification of interactions between host receptor and bacterial virulence factors can not only elucidate the molecular mechanisms of bacterial infection but also provide a framework for new therapeutic and prevention strategies. Herein, we report an APEX2-based live cell proximity labeling strategy in combination with high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry to profile the substrates of Helicobacter pylori HtrA protease on the membrane of human stomach epithelial cells. This strategy can be further applied to identify other interactions between secreted bacterial virulence factors and host receptors on live cells.

is a widely distributed nosocomial pathogen that causes various acute and chronic infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In this study, the activities of the K9-specific virulent phage AM24 and phage-encoded depolymerase DepAPK09 were assessed using in vivo mouse sepsis and burn skin infection models. In the mouse sepsis model, in the case of prevention or early treatment, a single K9-specific phage or recombinant depolymerase injection was able to protect 100% of the mice after parenteral infection with a lethal dose of of the K9-type, with complete eradication of the pathogen.

is one of world's most threatening bacteria. In addition to the emerging prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains, the bacterium also possesses a wide variety of virulence traits that worsen the course of the infections. Particularly, its ability to form biofilms that protect colonies from antimicrobial agents is a major cause of chronic and hard-to-treat infections in immune-compromised patients.
