New dual therapeutic strategy shows promise against multidrug-resistant Salmonella
by University of Eastern Finland Quinazoline CA439 enhances the action of the antimicrobial peptide colistin through a triple mechanism of action that involves: 1, permeabilization of the bacterial outer membrane; 2, down-regulation of polymyxin resistance genes through the PhoP/PhoQ-PmrA/PmrB cascade; 3, alteration of electrochemical potential of the bacterial inner membrane.

Salmonella biofilm protein causes autoimmune responses—possible link with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s
Scientists from the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and Temple University in Philadelphia, Penn., have demonstrated that a salmonella biofilm protein can cause autoimmune responses and arthritis in animals. Salmonella was previously thought to only form biofilms in the environment, such as on food processing surfaces....

Researchers find one-two punch may help fight against Salmonella
by McMaster University McMaster University researchers have discovered a combination punch to treat drug-resistant infections that is showing promise based on testing in mice. Researchers found that a natural product called dephostatin is an effective partner for the antibiotic colistin in treating infections caused by the bacteria Salmonella. Colistin is considered a last-resort antibiotic for...
