Pathogens and Disease, 75(7), Article ftx084. https://doi.org/10.1093/femspd/ftx084Lipophilic copper (Cu)-containing complexes have shown promising antibacterial activity against a range of bacterial pathogens. To examine the susceptibility of the intracellular human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis to copper complexes containing bis...

Interplay between tolerance mechanisms to copper and acid stress in Escherichia coli (2017)
Journal Article
Djoko, K. Y., Phan, M., Peters, K. M., Walker, M. J., Schembri, M. A., & McEwan, A. G. (2017). Interplay between tolerance mechanisms to copper and acid stress in Escherichia coli. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(26), 6818-6823. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1620232114Copper (Cu) is a key antibacterial component of the host innate immune system and almost all bacterial species possess systems that defend against the toxic effects of excess Cu. The Cu tolerance system in Gram-negative bacteria is composed minimally... Read More about Interplay between tolerance mechanisms to copper and acid stress in Escherichia coli.
The PerR-Regulated P1B-4-Type ATPase (PmtA) Acts as a Ferrous Iron Efflux Pump in Streptococcus pyogenes (2017)
Journal Article

The PerR-Regulated P1B-4-Type ATPase (PmtA) Acts as a Ferrous Iron Efflux Pump in Streptococcus pyogenes. Infection and Immunity, 85(6), Article e00140-17. https://doi.org/10.1128/iai.00140-17Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) is an obligate human pathogen responsible for a broad spectrum of human disease. GAS has a requirement for metal homeostasis within the human host and, as such, tightly modulates metal uptake and e...
