The bacterial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae causes nosocomial infections with the acquisition of multidrug resistance, impeding treatment options. This study investigated the effect of zinc limitation on the phosphoproteome of K. pneumoniae using quantitative mass spectrometry. New insight is provided into cellular signaling methods used by the pathogen to respond to nutrient-limited environments.

The World Health Organization has identified multidrug-resistant bacteria as a serious global health threat. Gram-negative bacteria are particularly prone to antibiotic resistance, and their high rate of antibiotic resistance has been suggested to be related to the complex structure of their cell membrane. The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharides that protect the bacteria against threats such as antibiotics, while the inner membrane houses 20-30% of the bacterial cellular proteins.

Instituto de Investigación Biosanitaria de Granada (ibs.GRANADA), Granada, Spain.
Background: Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a significant global health concern and vary in specific settings. Spain reported several annual deaths attributed to MDR bacteria, mainly carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales.
Objectives: We aimed to characterise the incidence and temporal trends of MDR bacterial infections or colonisations reported within the province of Granada (data from five hospitals), and to investigate factors linked to clinical vulnerability.

Foremost in the design of new β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) are the boronic acid transition state inhibitors (BATSIs). Two highly potent BATSIs being developed are S02030 and MB076 strategically designed to be active against cephalosporinases and carbapenemases, especially KPC. When combined with cefepime, S02030 and MB076 demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against laboratory and clinical strains of expressing a variety of class A and class C β-lactamases, including and .

Infections caused by fungal pathogens are a global health problem, and have created an urgent need for new antimicrobial strategies. This report details the synthesis of lipidated 2-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxazolone (VDM) oligomers an optimized Cu(0)-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) approach. Cholesterol-Br was used as an initiator to synthesize a library of oligo-VDM (degree of polymerisation = 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25), with an α-terminal cholesterol group.
