Exciting talk by Charalampos Ntallis from the group of Markus Weingarth at #NWOCHAINS. He talked about his exciting research into using solid-state #NMR to understand the interaction between the last resort #antibiotic #polymyxin and #LPS on the molecular level.

Microscopy Reveals Polymyxin Antibiotics Kill Gram‑Negative Bacteria

Atomic force microscopy captured the first real‑time images of polymyxin antibiotics breaching E. coli’s outer membrane, showing bumps that cause membrane rupture. Read more: getnews.me/microscopy-reveals-polym... #polymyxin #gramnegative

How Polymyxin Antibiotics Break Down Bacterial Armor

Polymyxin B forces active E. coli to shed its outer membrane within minutes, creating holes that let the drug in, as seen in atomic‑force microscopy images. getnews.me/how-polymyxin-antibiotic... #polymyxin #antibiotics #gramnegative

Pleased to share presentations from the recent 4th International Conference on Polymyxins held in October in Suzhou, China which ISAC endorsed.
The conference explored the latest advancements across all major facets of the #polymyxin class of #antibiotics
