    摘要: The present invention relates to a carrier conjugate comprising at least one dodecin protein unit conjugated with at least one hapten and/or immunogenic and/or enzymatically active moiety. Further, the invention relates to a method for producing said conjugate and a method for producing antibodies that specifically binds to a hapten and/or immunogenic moiety of the conjugate, and to a method for performing enzymatic or diagnostic assays in vitro using said conjugate. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of said conjugate for producing antibodies that specifically bind to the epitope or epitopes contained in the moiety of said conjugate and use of said conjugate for performing enzymatic or diagnostic assays in vitro.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutics and, more in particular, to pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial infections and antibacterial-induced dysfunctions. The compositions of the present invention demonstrate high species-specificity in inhibiting the growth of a small number of bacterial species, and most importantly are effective also against multi drug resistant (MDR) clinical isolate species. Interestingly, one of those combinations pairs a non-antibiotic drug, vanillin, with an antibiotic drug, spectinomycin, to demonstrate a surprisingly strong inhibitory effect on the growth of clinically relevant Gram-negative pathogenic and multi-drug resistant E. coli isolates. A second set of compounds combines the polymyxin colistin with loperamide, a rifamycin, or a macrolide. Importantly, this invention relates to combinations that enable narrow-spectrum antibacterial therapies, constituting a major effort of current and future drug development efforts in order to prevent major side effects of antibacterial strategies. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical combinations useful to prevent an adverse effect on the gut microbiome, induced by the use of antibacterial compounds.

    摘要: The present invention relates to agents and compositions for the modification of the growth of bacterial cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of a disease in a subject. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of repurposing pharmaceutical compounds for treatment strategies of infectious diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, inflammatory diseases, proliferative diseases, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and immunological diseases. Some of the compounds of the present invention demonstrate high specificity in inhibiting the growth of single bacterial species. Such compounds enable narrow-spectrum antibacterial therapies, constituting a major effort of current and future drug development strategies in order to reduce side effects of antibacterial treatment plans. Particularly interesting compounds of this invention are effective against pathobiological species such as Clostridium difficile, Clostridium perfingens, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and an enterotoxigenic strain of Bacteroides fragilis. Other compounds of the present invention reveal a strong inhibitory effect on a broad spectrum of bacterial species. Such compounds are useful for broad-spectrum antibiotic therapies of infections with unknown causative infecting bacterial species. Both types of compounds, especially the ones with narrow-spectrum antibacterial activity, can further be used for modulating the microbiome composition and targeting species associated with dysbiosis and disease.
