Iron is an indispensable metabolic cofactor in both pro-and eukaryotes, which engenders a
natural competition for the metal between bacterial pathogens and their human or animal …

Antibiotic resistance is a global health concern and a current threat to modern medicine and
society. New strategies for antibiotic drug design and delivery offer a glimmer of hope in a …

The global crisis of untreatable microbial infections necessitates the design of new
antibiotics. Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for expanding the antibiotic repertoire …

Covering: up to the end of 2016 Novel antimicrobial drugs are continuously needed to
counteract bacterial resistance development. An innovative molecular design strategy for …

Enteric Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, biosynthesize and deploy the
triscatecholate siderophore enterobactin (Ent) in the vertebrate host to acquire iron, an …

The development of materials with intrinsically antimicrobial activities has attracted great
interest. Herein, we report the synthesis of free-standing and robust poly (ionic liquid)(PIL) …

Stereoselective manipulations at the C1 anomeric position of saccharides are one of the
central goals of preparative carbohydrate chemistry. Historically, the majority of reactions …

Bacterial resistance to present antibiotics is emerging at a high pace that makes the
development of new treatments a must. At the same time, the development of novel …

There is a strong need to better diagnose infections at deep body sites through noninvasive
molecular imaging methods. Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of …

Pathogenic bacteria scavenge ferric iron from the host for survival and proliferation using
small-molecular chelators, siderophores. Here, we introduce and assess the gallium (III) …
