  1. Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to the host

    • Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

    • Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView. Staphylococcus aureus is a pathobiont capable of colonizing and infecting most tissues within the human body, resulting in a multitude of different clinical outcomes. Adhesion of S. aureus to the host is crucial for both host colonization and the establishment of infections. Underlying the pathogen's success is a complex and diverse arsenal of adhesins.

  2. Synthesis and structure−activity relationships of teixobactin

    • Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

    • Our review provides a comprehensive treatise on the progress in understanding teixobactin chemistry, structure−activity relationships, and mechanisms of antibacterial activity. Teixobactin represents an exciting starting point for the development of new antibiotics that can be used to combat multidrug‐resistant bacterial (“superbug”) infections.
