Abstract

Antibiotics have long been used for anti-infective control of
bacterial infections, growth promotion in husbandry, and
prophylactic protection against plant pathogens. However,
their inappropriate use results in the emergence and spread
of multiple drug resistance (MDR) especially among various
bacterial populations, which limits further administration
of conventional antibiotics. Therefore, the demand for novel
anti-infective approaches against MDR diseases becomes
increasing in recent years. The peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-
based technology has been proposed as one of novel antiinfective
and/or therapeutic strategies. By definition, PNA
is an artificially synthesized nucleic acid mimic structurally
similar to DNA or RNA in nature and linked one another via
an unnatural pseudo-peptide backbone, rendering to its stability
in diverse host conditions. It can bind DNA or RNA
strands complimentarily with high affinity and sequence specificity,
which induces the target-specific gene silencing by
inhibiting transcription and/or translation. Based on these
unique properties, PNA has been widely applied for molecular
diagnosis as well as considered as a potential anti-infective
agent. In this review, we discuss the general features
of PNAs and their application to various bacterial pathogens
as new anti-infective or antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
PDF
-
Bacillus anthracis the causative agent of anthrax, is an important pathogen among the Bacillus cereus group of species because of its physiological characteristics and its importance as a biological warfare agent. Tripartite anthrax toxin proteins and a poly-D-glutamic acid capsule are produced by B. anthracis vegetative
cells during mammalian hosts infection and when cultured in conditions that are thought to mimic the host environment. To identify the factors regulating virulence in B. anthracis the whole cell proteins were extracted from two B. anthracis strains and separated by narrow range immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips (pH 4-7),
followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Proteins that were differentially expressed were identified by the peptide fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A total of 23 proteins were identified as
being either upregulated or downregulated in the presence or absence of the virulence plasmid pXO1. Two plasmid encoded proteins and 12 cellular proteins were identified and documented as potential virulence factors.
