Collateral sensitivity increases the efficacy of a rationally designed bacteriophage combination to control Salmonella enterica

L. Acton, H. Pye, G. Thilliez, R. Rafal, M. Matthews, K. Turner, M. Yasir, E. Holden, H. Al-Khanaq, M. Webber, E. M. Adriaenssens, R. A. Kingsley

This study identifies host susceptibility and resistance factors for Salmonella enterica infected by bacteriophages SPLA1a and SPLA5b, showing that their combination reduces phage resistance emergence.

Mode of action of the antimicrobial peptide Mel4 is independent of Staphylococcus aureus cell membrane permeability

M. Yasir, D. Dutta, M. D. P. Willcox

This paper investigates the mechanism of action of the antimicrobial peptide Mel4 and its precursor melimine against Staphylococcus aureus, finding that Mel4 kills bacteria through autolysin release rather than membrane pore formation.

Comparative mode of action of antimicrobial peptide melimine and its derivative Mel4 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

M. YASIR, D. Dutta, M. D. P. Willcox

This study compares the mechanisms of action of melimine and Mel4 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing melimine causes greater membrane disruption and cell lysis.
