Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an antibiotic-resistant opportunistic pathogen, poses significant challenges in treating infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This review explores current and future innovative approaches to suppress its growth and virulence. We delve into the bacterium’s virulence factors, discussing existing strategies like antibiotics, bacteriophages, probiotics, and small-molecule inhibitors. Additionally, novel approaches, including RNA interference, CRISPR-Cas systems, and nanotechnology, show promise in preclinical studies. Despite advancements, challenges persist, prompting the need for a multifaceted approach targeting various aspects of P. aeruginosa pathogenesis for effective infection management. This review provides a comprehensive perspective on the status and future directions of innovative strategies against P. aeruginosa.
期刊介绍：
Cellular Microbiology aims to publish outstanding contributions to the understanding of interactions between microbes, prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and their host in the context of pathogenic or mutualistic relationships, including co-infections and microbiota. We welcome studies on single cells, animals and plants, and encourage the use of model hosts and organoid cultures. Submission on cell and molecular biological aspects of microbes, such as their intracellular organization or the establishment and maintenance of their architecture in relation to virulence and pathogenicity are also encouraged. Contributions must provide mechanistic insights supported by quantitative data obtained through imaging, cellular, biochemical, structural or genetic approaches.
