Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ubiquitous, gene-encoded natural antibiotics that have gained recent attention in the search for new antimicrobials to combat infectious disease. In multicellular organisms, AMPs, such as defensins and cathelicidins, provide a coordinated protective response against infection and are a principal component of innate immunity in vertebrates. In unicellular organisms, AMPs, such as bacteriocins, function to suppress competitor species. Because many AMPs kill bacteria by disruption of membrane integrity and are thus thought to be less likely to induce resistance, AMPs are being extensively evaluated as novel antimicrobial drugs. This review summarizes and discusses the antibiotic properties of AMPs highlighting their potential as alternatives to conventional antibiotics.  相似文献

β防御素是猪体内分泌的一类抗菌肽,广泛分布于各个组织中,在抵抗病原入侵和免疫调节中发挥着重要作用。猪β防御素对细菌、真菌和病毒都有很强的杀灭作用,并且具有分子量小、热稳定性好、无残留等优点,是理想的抗生素替代品。研究表明,猪β防御素的表达与个体抗病力正相关,增加内源性防御素表达或直接摄入外源性防御素均能增强机体免疫力并促进生长。脂肪酸、氨基酸、维生素、益生菌、病原微生物等外源刺激皆可影响β防御素的表达。随着防御素相关研究的深入,将有望解决养猪生产中长期使用抗生素而导致的耐药性、药物残留及环境污染等问题。文章介绍了猪β防御素的结构特征、表达特异性及生物学功能,主要综述了外源刺激对β防御素表达的影响及其作用机制,初步说明外源β防御素作为饲料添加剂在仔猪生产中的效果,旨在为猪β防御素的深入研究及其在生猪健康养殖中的应用提供参考。  相似文献

The cathelicidin family is one of the several families of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). A bovine myeloid antimicrobial peptide (BMAP‐28) belongs to this family. Recently, the emergence of drug‐resistant bacteria such as methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a big problem. AMPs are expected to be leading compounds of new antibiotics against drug‐resistant bacteria. In this study, we focused on the activity of BMAP‐28 against bacterial cell surfaces. First, we observed morphological change of MRSA caused by BMAP‐28 using a scanning probe microscope. We also studied activities of BMAP‐28 against adherence of S. aureus to fibronectin, collagen type I, collagen type IV. We confirmed whether BMAP‐28 can bind to lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of S. aureus. BMAP‐28 was indicated as damaging the cell surface of MRSA. In a particular range of concentrations, BMAP‐28 promoted adherence of S. aureus against fibronectin and collagens. It was revealed that BMAP‐28 and LTA of S. aureus bound with each other. Our study showed the potential of BMAP‐28 which can damage MRSA and interact with LTA of S. aureus but promote its adherence in some concentrations. This study provides new points of which to take notice when we use AMPs as medicines.  相似文献

Antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria has been a problem in both developed and developing countries. This problem is especially evident in Salmonella typhimurium, one of the most prevalent foodborne pathogens. While performing in vitro gentamicin protection-based invasion assays, we found that certain isolates of multiresistant S. typhimurium can be 'induced' to exhibit new resistance profiles. That is, bacteria become resistant to a wider range of antibiotics and they also exhibit quantitative increases in MIC values for antibiotics that were part of their pre-induction antibiograms. This 'induction' process involves growing the bacteria to stationary phase in the presence of antibiotics such as ampicillin, amoxicillin or ticarcillin. Since the isolates studied exhibited resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin and ticarcillin prior to exposing the bacteria to these antibiotics, the observed phenomenon suggests that resistant Salmonella not only have a selective advantage over non-resistant Salmonella but their resistance phenotypes can be accentuated when an inappropriate antibiotic is used therapeutically.  相似文献

Background – Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a pivotal role in cutaneous innate immunity. They are present in the skin of many animals, including mammals, and are both constitutively present and inducible by infection and injury. Functions – Antimicrobial peptides exhibit antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, with different potencies depending on their peptide structure. They also act as multifunctional effector molecules that influence diverse cellular processes, including cell migration, proliferation and differentiation, cytokine production, angiogenesis and wound healing. Suppressed AMP production has been associated with increased susceptibility to microbial insults and the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. This review highlights recent observations on the expression and role of AMPs, particularly the AMPs cathelicidin and β‐defensin, in healthy and diseased skin.  相似文献

Antibiotic use not only selects for resistance in pathogenic bacteria, but also in the commensal flora of exposed individuals. Veterinary surgeons regularly prescribe antibiotics for food animals to treat bacterial infections just as doctors do for human patients. In addition, however, animal feeds contain added antibiotics not for therapy but for economic reasons: to enhance the growth rate of these animals. Several of the antibiotics used as growth promoters are analogues of and fully cross resistant with important antibiotics used in human medicine. As a result of this high exposure to antibiotics, the prevalence of resistant bacteria in the faecal flora of these animals is high. These resistant bacteria can be directly and indirectly, via foods of animal origin, transferred to humans and either colonize the human intestinal tract or exchange their resistance genes with commensal bacteria of humans. As the intestinal flora functions as a reservoir of resistance genes for pathogenic bacteria and because many bacterial species of the intestinal flora are potential pathogens, the efficacy of antibiotic therapy in human medicine may be jeopardized.  相似文献

A total of 310 bacterial strains isolated from the porcine gastrointestinal tract were tested for their activity against transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus and other enteric pathogens. Based on activity, the strains Probio-38 and Probio-37 were selected as potential probiotics and identified as Lactobacillus plantarum Probio-38 and Lactobacillus salivarius Probio-37 respectively by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Supernatants of these strains inhibited TGE coronavirus in vitro in ST cells, without any cytopathic effect even after 72 h of incubation. Both the strains exhibited high survival in synthetic gastric juice. The strains were resistant to 5% porcine bile and exhibited antimicrobial activity against all the 13 enteric bacterial pathogens tested. These strains also exhibited resistance to most of the antibiotics analyzed. The inhibition of transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus and enteric bacterial pathogens as well as the bile tolerance, high survival in gastric juice, and the antibiotic resistance indicate that the two isolated bacterial strains are ideal probiotic candidates for animal application after proper in vivo experiments.  相似文献

The results of large scale surveys have indicated that in general terms antibiotic resistance in bacteria has not increased, especially in Europe and North America. When the prevalence of resistance in specific bacteria has increased the increase has usually been associated with the introduction of a novel antimicrobial agent, whether in human or veterinary clinical practice, but the prevalence of resistance that is recognised may be very small. It would appear that the use of antibiotics in livestock farming during the past 20 years has not compromised public health. Any problems in human medicine which are due to bacterial resistance have resulted from the use of antibiotics in man and not from their use in agriculture. Similarly, any problems in veterinary medicine which are due to bacterial resistance have resulted from the use of antibiotics in animals and not from their use in man.  相似文献

抗菌肽(AMP)因其具有理化性质稳定、抗菌谱广、耐高温以及不易使靶菌株产生耐药性等特点,作为一种新型的抗菌剂被提出,有望成为饲料抗生素的理想替代品,具有广阔的应用前景。但是随着对AMP的深入研究,发现部分细菌能对AMP产生耐药性。目前,还没有对AMP对革兰氏阳性(G~+)菌芽孢的抗性机制进行深入的研究。AMP对G~+菌的抑菌机制还知之甚少。在本文中,我们对AMP对G~+菌的作用靶点、抑菌机制以及G~+菌对AMP产生的耐药性等方面进行了综述。  相似文献

Background: In-feed antibiotics are being phased out in livestock production worldwide. Alternatives to antibiotics are urgently needed to maintain animal health and production performance. Host defense peptides(HDPs) are known for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial and immunomodulatory capabilities. Enhancing the synthesis of endogenous HDPs represents a promising antibiotic alternative strategy to disease control and prevention.Methods: To identify natural products with an ability to stimulate the synthesis of endogenous HDPs, we performed a high-throughput screening of 1261 natural products using a newly-established stable luciferase reporter cell line known as IPEC-J2/pBD3-luc. The ability of the hit compounds to induce HDP genes in porcine IPEC-J2 intestinal epithelial cells, 3 D4/31 macrophages, and jejunal explants were verified using RT-qPCR. Augmentation of the antibacterial activity of porcine 3 D4/31 macrophages against a Gram-negative bacterium(enterotoxigenic E. coli) and a Gram-positive bacterium(Staphylococcus aureus) were further confirmed with four selected HDP-inducing compounds.Results: A total of 48 natural products with a minimum Z-score of 2.0 were identified after high-throughput screening,with 21 compounds giving at least 2-fold increase in luciferase activity in a follow-up dose-response experiment.Xanthohumol and deoxyshikonin were further found to be the most potent in inducing p BD3 m RNA expression,showing a minimum 10-fold increase in IPEC-J2, 3 D4/31 cells, and jejunal explants. Other compounds such as isorhapontigenin and calycosin also enhanced p BD3 m RNA expression by at least 10-fold in both IPEC-J2 cel s and jejunal explants, but not 3 D4/31 cells. In addition to p BD3, other porcine HDP genes such as p BD2, PG1-5, and p EP2 C were induced to different magnitudes by xanthohumol, deoxyshikonin, isorhapontigenin, and calycosin, although clear gene-and cel type-specific patterns of regulation were observed. Desirably, these four compounds had a minimum effect on the expression of several representative inflammatory cytokine genes. Furthermore, when used at HDP-inducing concentrations, these compounds showed no obvious direct antibacterial activity, but significantly augmented the antibacterial activity of 3 D4/31 macrophages(P 0.05) against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.Conclusions: Our results indicate that these newly-identified natural HDP-inducing compounds have the potential to be developed as novel alternatives to antibiotics for prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of infectious diseases in livestock production.  相似文献
