    Abstract Introduction: Natural products are the source of a large fraction of the current pharmaceutics available against human disease. However, the discovery of novel compounds with new mechanisms of action is becoming increasingly challenging. We focused our work on soil-dwelling Myxobacteria from highly diverse samples, which are more and more recognized as an important natural product source.
    Methodology: Our discovery pipeline combines traditional whole cell-based activity screens with state-of-the-art analytical techniques and a comprehensive dereplication process. Having identified an antimicrobial compound we aim at elucidating its target, MOA and MOR in diverse microbiological screens and by applying 'omic' technologies.
    Results: Two case studies of currently investigated compound classes will be highlighted. Cystobactamids are novel topoisomerase inhibitors that display very pronounced activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Telomycins from Streptomyces canus bind to cardiolipin and our studies revealed other putative cellular targets.
    Conclusion: We were able to isolate several new natural products with potent and selective activity against clinically relevant pathogens. Interestingly, underlying MOAs often differ from those of already described antimicrobial agents.

    Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne bacterium that naturally occurs in the soil. Originating from there, it contaminates crops and infects farm animals and their consumption by humans may lead to listeriosis, a systemic life-threatening infectious disease. The adaptation of L. monocytogenes to such contrastive habitats is reflected by the presence of virulence genes for host infection and other genes for survival under environmental conditions. Among the latter are ABC transporters for excretion of antibiotics produced by environmental competitors; however, most of these transporters have not been characterized. Here, we generated a collection of promoter-lacZ fusions for genes encoding ABC-type drug transporters of L. monocytogenes and screened this reporter strain collection for induction using a library of natural compounds produced by various environmental microorganisms. We found that the timABR locus (lmo1964-lmo1962) was induced by the macrodiolide antibiotic tartrolon B, which is synthesized by the soil myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum. Tartrolon B resistance of L. monocytogenes was dependent on timAB, encoding the ATPase and the permease component of a novel ABC transporter. Moreover, transplantation of timAB was sufficient to confer tartrolon B resistance to Bacillus subtilis. Expression of the timABR locus was found to be auto-repressed by the TimR repressor, whose repressing activity was lost in the presence of tartrolon B. We also demonstrate that tartrolon sensitivity was suppressed by high external potassium concentrations, suggesting that tartrolon acts as potassium ionophore. Our results help to map the ecological interactions of an important human pathogen with its co-residing species within their joint natural reservoir.

    Abstract On January 26, 2011, the Pardon of Patrick Murphy, a document in the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Record Group 153 (RG 153) Records of the Office of the Judge Advocate General (Army), was submitted to conservation for examination. The record was examined with special focus on the handwritten "1865" to the left of Abraham Lincoln's signature. All analysis techniques were non-sampling, non-invasive, and non-damaging as retaining the integrity of cultural heritage is very similar to the forensic handling of evidence. Microscopy, transmitted light, Ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence, and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy analysis confirmed that the ink used to write the "5", in the April 14, 1865 date is different from the remaining text written by Lincoln and these analytical forensic-inspired techniques allowed scientists and conservators to "set the record straight" about the modern forged "5" for future generations of researchers.

    Abstract Drug-induced photosensitivity develops when the use of oral or topical photosensitizing medications creates a rash after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Medications most commonly implicated in photosensitive drug reactions include amiodarone, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, thiazides, tetracycline antibiotics, chlorpromazine, and fluoroquinolones. It is generally believed that drug-induced photosensitivity is an UVA phenomenon, caused by UV wavelengths between 315 and 400 nm. Here, we present a case of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)-induced photosensitivity following exposure to 308-nm narrow-band (nb) UVB light emitted from an excimer laser in a patient undergoing treatment for plaque psoriasis. This patient had received biweekly treatments with the excimer laser for years prior without any history of adverse reactions. We believe that our patient suffered an acute photosensitivity to UVB due to new-onset HCTZ. Because nb UVB-emitting lasers are used to treat many dermatologic conditions, physicians should be aware of potential photosensitivity reactions, review medication lists and counsel patients accordingly.

    Abstract Deciphering the process by which hundreds of distinct cell types emerge from a single zygote to form a complex multicellular organism remains one of the greatest challenges in biological research. Enhancers are known to be central to cell type-specific gene expression, yet many questions regarding how these genomic elements interact both temporally and spatially with other cis- and trans-acting factors to control transcriptional activity during differentiation and development remain unanswered. Here, we review our current understanding of the role of enhancers and their interactions in this context and highlight recent progress achieved with experimental methods of unprecedented resolution.

    Abstract Importance: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global threat and requires the exploration of underestimated treatment options. Nitroxoline, an effective broad-spectrum antibiotic, does not suffer from high resistance rates in the clinics but surprisingly, it is not heavily used yet. Our findings provide compelling evidence that Nitroxoline resistance renders bacteria unable to cause an infection
