Methods for the treatment of an infectious bacterial disease with an anti-lactone or lactone derived signal molecules antibody

InactiveUS20060165704A1Limit and prevent down-regulationPrevent diseaseAntibacterial agentsBiocideDisease monitoringVirulent characteristics
The present invention relates to methods for the control of virulence of infectious bacteria by modulating the extra-cellular concentration of bacterial cell signalling molecules. Derivatives of cell signalling molecules are conjugated to suitable carrier proteins and used to isolate high affinity receptors recognising the native signal molecule(s). By binding to signalling molecules, the receptors reduce and maintain extra-cellular concentrations of signal molecules below the threshold level that would otherwise result in certain opportunistic pathogens adopting a virulent form, and can transform virulent organisms to non-virulent states. These receptors have applications for the treatment of individuals with susceptibility to infection, the treatment of patients with existing infections, in disease monitoring and management, and in related applications where the host for infection is an animal or plant.

Microbial organic fertilizer and preparation method thereof

The invention relates to the field of bacterial manure, in particular to a microbial organic fertilizer and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding bacillus subtilis into flax plant degumming waste liquor for aerobic fermentation; and stopping oxygen supply and inoculating an EM culture for anaerobic fermentation to obtain the microbial organic fertilizer. By taking the flax plant degumming waste liquor as a raw material and adding bacillus subtilis for aerobic fermentation, the bacillus subtilis can form an advantageous population quickly soas to inhibit growth of pathogenic bacteria or other infectious microbes; in the thallus growing process, active substances such as subtilin, polymyxin, nystatin and gramicidin are generated to play an obvious inhibiting role to pathogenic bacteria or endogenously infected conditioned pathogens. By adding the ME culture for anaerobic fermentation, the anaerobic EM bacteria are fermented to generate organic acids, so that the pH is reduced to form a slight acidic environment. In addition, the EM bacteria are compound cultures. Multiple probiotics are fermented, and the organic fertilizer applied to soil can form a symbiotic and stable bacterial colony environment, so that the effect is more lasting.

Application of stilbene compounds in inhibiting pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing system

The invention discloses an application of three stilbene compounds, namely resveratrol, piceatannol and oxyresveratrol, in inhibiting a pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing system. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common opportunistic pathogens which can cause serious acquired infection, and the quorum sensing system of the pseudomonas aeruginosa can regulate and control the generation of various virulence factors. In a sub-lethal concentration, the three stilbene compounds, namely the resveratrol, the piceatannol and the oxyresveratrol, can significantly inhibit the swarming of the pseudomonas aeruginosa and the generation of the virulence factor, namely pyocyanine, under the precondition of avoiding influence on the growth of the bacterium (the pseudomonas aeruginosa). The three stilbene compounds, namely the resveratrol, the piceatannol and the oxyresveratrol, can be prepared into pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing inhibitors so as to effectively inhibit quorum sensing and prevent bacterium infection; and the inhibitors have an important practical value in clinical bacteriostatic application.

Method to mitigate morbidity and mortality in virally induced forms of ACE2 receptor pathology progressing to SARS or ARDS.

InactiveUS20210315910A1Reduce infectionMaximize resultTetracycline active ingredientsMucoid impactionBronchial epithelium
ACE receptors are affected in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome related coronaviruses. ACE genes are directly related to the morbidity and mortality of those with cystic fibrosis. The thick, sticky mucus in the respiratory, and digestive systems, is seen in the inherited disease cystic fibrosis. Viral induced sticky mucus in the respiratory and digestive systems can also be appreciated as a response to viral pathogens where the cycle of mucus production in vivo induces the recruitment of more mucus production to the extent that cellular damage occurs within the lower respiratory track requiring intubation as a life saving measure. In the most severe cases mechanical intubation fails due to the fact that no control over the recruitment of mucus production was achieved at the onset. SARS pathology shows inflammatory exudation in the alveoli and interstitial tissue, with hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and fibrosis. Inherited cystic fibrosis pathology shows atelectasis, mucoid impaction, acute and chronic inflammation, bronchiectasis, cyst formation, and fibrosis widespread. A virally induced disorder in relations to ACE2 receptors can be treated successfully at the early onset with inherited cystic fibrosis disease mimicking techniques with the efforts of minimizing the activity and utilization of the ACE2 receptor. Cystic fibrosis lung infections, and opportunistic pathogens contribute to chronic airway inflammation that is characterized by neutrophil/macrophage infiltration, cytokine release and ceramide accumulation. In terms of virally induced forms off ACE2 receptor pathologies, as it related to coronavirus such as Covid 19, presumably ceramide precursors which aid in intracellular transport of the virus into the cell via inflammation and remodeling is present in alveolar tissues of the lung in patients with cystic fibrosis while the same pathology occurs in patients with virally induced forms of ACE2 pathology which to often progresses to SARS or ARDS.
