Lactic acid bacteria-derived biosurfactants: emerging strategies for biofilm control, virulence attenuation, and food safety

Antibacterial Nanomaterials at Biointerfaces: Multiphysical and Chemical Activation Mechanisms as Synergistic Microbial Inactivation

Gramicidin D as a Multi-Target Antimicrobial Against Staphylococcus aureus: Biofilm Disruption, Virulence Attenuation, Antibiotic Potentiation, and Protein-Peptide Docking Insight.

PrfA, the master virulence regulator of Listeria monocytogenes: structural–functional insights, regulatory architecture, and antivirulence strategies

The structure and regulatory circuitry of PrfA are addressed, then antivirulence strategies targeting this protein using natural compounds, synthetic inhibitors, and nanomaterial-based approaches are surveyed.

Stage V sporulation protein G as a global regulator of biofilm formation and virulence in Staphylococcus species: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential

This review highlights SpoVG’s function in Staphylococcus, including its regulation of the expression of the adhesion factor gene sasC and the thermonuclease, which enables SpoVG to act as a molecular rheostat that influences biofilm formation and reduces acute virulence in response to environmental signals.

Synthesis, antibacterial, and antibiofilm activities of an adenosine-benzoic acid conjugate against Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli: insights from molecular docking.

Molecular docking results provided a molecular basis for the conjugate's interaction with target proteins (PDB IDs: 4LFU and 4TQX), suggesting its potential as a quorum-sensing modulator.
