Princeton Docket # 14-3007
Researchers in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University have isolated a mutant strain of Escherichia coli that is specifically more resistant to vancomycin than is its wild-type parent. The resistance mutation in this strain alters an enzyme normally involved in LPS biosynthesis causing it to synthesize...

Cholera, an infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, is a life-threatening
disease. It is estimated that
cholera affects 3-5 million people worldwide, and causes
100,000-130,000 deaths a year as of 2010. Antibiotics such as doxycycline and
cotrimoxazole have been used to shorten the...

Docket # 11-2663
Researchers
at Princeton University created novel peptide derivatives of the antimicrobial
peptide Microcin J25 (MccJ25) with multiple amino acid substitutions and potent
activity against Gram-negative bacteria. The most potent MccJ25 variants
displayed up to a nearly 5-fold improvement in bacterial growth inhibition...

Quorum
Sensing is an essential form of intercellular communication used by many types
of common bacteria, and many pathogenic bacteria use quorum sensing to attack
and invade the human host. Quorum Sensing is used by bacteria to detect a
critical cell number, which is the cell population required for pathogenic
bacteria to release effective amounts...
