Towards evolution-proof malaria control with insecticides
As many strategies to control malaria use insecticides against adult mosquitoes, control is undermined by the continual evolution of resistant mosquitoes. Here we suggest that using alternative insecticides, or conventional insecticides in alternative ways might enable effective control, but delay considerably or prevent the evolution of resistance. Our reasoning relies on an epidemiological an...
متن کاملBioassay-Guided Evolution of Glycosylated Macrolide Antibiotics in Escherichia coli
Macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin are clinically important polyketide natural products. We have engineered a recombinant strain of Escherichia coli that produces small but measurable quantities of the bioactive macrolide 6-deoxyerythromycin D. Bioassay-guided evolution of this strain led to the identification of an antibiotic-overproducing mutation in the mycarose biosynthesis and tran...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Antimycobacterial Agents from Non-Antibiotics
The antimicrobial action of a number of non-antibiotic drugs has been demonstrated in recent years, for example the antimycobacterial activity associated with the phenothiazine neuroleptic class. However, as with other classes of non-antibiotics, such activity may be traced back to common precursor structures such as the phenothiazinium dye, methylene blue. While the rising tide of antimicrobia...
متن کاملAntibiotics and antibiotic resistance: a bitter fight against evolution.
One of the most terrible consequences of Darwinian evolution is arguably the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, which is becoming a serious menace to modern societies. While spontaneous mutation, recombination and horizontal gene transfer are recognized as the main causes of this notorious phenomenon; recent research has raised awareness that sub-lethal concentrations of antibiotics...
