Natural products from food sources can alter the spread of AMR plasmids in Enterobacterales

I. Alav, P. Pordelkhaki, J. Rodriguez Navarro, O. Neo, C. Kessler, R. J. Awodipe, P. Cliffe, H. Marton, S. Gibbons, M. M. C. Buckner

The paper shows natural products can reduce AMR plasmid transmission in Enterobacterales, with rottlerin being particularly effective against K. pneumoniae.

Metal complexes and conjugation: Harnessing the power of cobalt complexes to curtail plasmid transfer

I. Alav, P. Pordelkhaki, P. E. de Resende, H. Partington, S. Gibbons, R. Lord, M. M. C. Buckner

This study shows cobalt complexes reduce plasmid transfer in E. coli and K. pneumoniae without affecting plasmid persistence or bacterial growth.

The membrane-proximal domain of the periplasmic adapter protein plays a role in vetting substrates utilising channels 1 and 2 of RND efflux transporters

I. Alav, V. N. Bavro, J. M. A. Blair

The paper identifies critical residues in the periplasmic adaptor protein AcrA that influence substrate recognition and efflux through RND transporters in Salmonella.

Interchangeability of Periplasmic Adaptor Proteins AcrA and AcrE in forming functional efflux pumps with AcrD in Salmonella Typhimurium

I. Alav, V. N. Bavro, J. M. A. Blair

The paper shows AcrE can form a functional efflux pump with AcrD in Salmonella, demonstrating interchangeability with AcrA and identifying conserved binding sites for efflux inhibition.
