“…Reactive Oxygen Species Detection. According to Zhu's method, 26 the amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in F. solani mycelium and spores were measured by a fluorometric assay with 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) using ROS assay kits (Solarbio Life Sciences, Beijing, China). First, the mycelium and spores of F. solani treated with AITC were collected.…”

The cultivation of Panax notoginseng is often seriously hindered by root rot disease caused by the accumulation of soil-borne pathogens. Here, the inhibitory activity of Brassica juncea volatiles on P. notoginseng root rot pathogens was assessed and compounds in volatiles were identified. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) were deciphered by integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses. The volatiles of B. juncea showed dose-dependent antimicrobial activity against root rot pathogens. AITC, identified as the main volatile compound, not only significantly inhibited pathogen growth in vitro but also suppressed root rot disease in the field. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomics analysis revealed that AITC inhibited Fusarium solani by interfering with energy production and induced the accumulation of ROS by decreasing the content of glutathione (GSH). In summary, B. juncea releases AITC to inhibit soil-borne pathogens and could be used as a rotation crop or soil fumigant to alleviate root rot disease.

“…A recent study demonstrated that low concentrations of chlorhexidine, such as the MIC, had a relatively weak effect on membrane breaking of bacteria. 63 In accordance with the protocol we selected 2⨰MIC and 4⨰MIC expecting that higher concentrations were needed for the maintenance of the effect in time (residual effect). The residual effect of chlorhexidine is well known 64 but the aim was to compare it with the nanostructured formulation.…”

Introduction: Nanoparticle solutions have been studied to improve antimicrobial effect. The aim of this study was to develop, characterize, and evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antiseptic efficacy of 0.25% aqueous-based chlorhexidine nanoemulsion (NM-Cl 0.25% w/v). Methods: The NM-Cl 0.25% w/v (2.5mg/mL) and free chlorhexidine nanoemulsion (FCN; same composition of NM-Cl without the molecule of chlorhexidine) were synthetized by the spontaneous emulsification method. Characterization analyses of physical and chemical properties were performed. The NM-Cl 0.25% w/v was compared with chlorhexidine 0.5% alcohol base (CS-Cl 0.5%) in vitro studies (microdilution study and kill curve study), and in vivo study (antisepsis of rats dorsum). Kruskal-Wallis test was used between groups and inside the same group, at different sample times and the Mann-Whitney test was performed when difference was detected. Results: The NM-Cl 0.25% w/v presented adequate physicochemical characteristics for a nanoemulsion, revealing a more basic pH than FCN and difference between zeta potential of NM-Cl 0.25% w/v and FCN. The NM-Cl 0.25% w/v and CS-Cl 0.5% solutions were more effective on Gram-positive than on Gram-negative bacteria (p≤0.05). NM-Cl 0.25% w/v presented upper antiseptic effect in the microdilution study and residual antiseptic effect was maintained for a longer time when compared to CS-Cl 0.5% (kill curve study). The four-fold (minimal inhibitory concentration) of NM-Cl 0.25% were the formulations with most durable effect within those tested, presenting residual effect until T6 for both bacteria. In the in vivo study, both formulations (NM-Cl 0.25% w/v and CS-Cl 0.5%) had a reduction of the microorganisms in the skin of the rats (p<0.0001) not revealing any difference between the formulations at different times, showing the antiseptic effect of NM-Cl (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that NM-Cl showed promising future as an antiseptic for cutaneous microbiota.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are anti-infectives that have the potential to be used as a novel and untapped class of biotherapeutics. Modes of action of antimicrobial peptides include interaction with the cell envelope (cell wall, outer- and inner-membrane). A comprehensive understanding of the peculiarities of interaction of antimicrobial peptides with the cell envelope is necessary to perform a rational design of new biotherapeutics, against which working out resistance is hard for microbes. In order to enable de novo design with low cost and high throughput, in silico predictive models have to be invoked. To develop an efficient predictive model, a comprehensive understanding of the sequence-to-function relationship is required. This knowledge will allow us to encode amino acid sequences expressively and to adequately choose the accurate AMP classifier. A shared protective layer of microbial cells is the inner, plasmatic membrane. The interaction of AMP with a biological membrane (native and/or artificial) has been comprehensively studied. We provide a review of mechanisms and results of interactions of AMP with the cell membrane, relying on the survey of physicochemical, aggregative, and structural features of AMPs. The potency and mechanism of AMP action are presented in terms of amino acid compositions and distributions of the polar and apolar residues along the chain, that is, in terms of the physicochemical features of peptides such as hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and amphiphilicity. The survey of current data highlights topics that should be taken into account to come up with a comprehensive explanation of the mechanisms of action of AMP and to uncover the physicochemical faces of peptides, essential to perform their function. Many different approaches have been used to classify AMPs, including machine learning. The survey of knowledge on sequences, structures, and modes of actions of AMP allows concluding that only possessing comprehensive information on physicochemical features of AMPs enables us to develop accurate classifiers and create effective methods of prediction. Consequently, this knowledge is necessary for the development of design tools for peptide-based antibiotics.
