Lasso peptide MccY alleviates non-typhoidal salmonellae-induced mouse gut inflammation via regulation of intestinal barrier function and gut microbiota

Microbiol Spectr. 2023 Dec 12;11(6):e0178423. doi: 10.1128/spectrum.01784-23. Epub 2023 Oct 11.

Abstract

Diseases caused by Enterobacteriaceae multidrug-resistant strains have become increasingly difficult to manage. It is necessary to verify the new antibacterial drug MccY effect on non-typhoid Salmonella infection in mice since it is regarded as a promising microcin. The results demonstrated that MccY has a potential therapeutic application value in the protection against Salmonella-induced intestinal damage and alleviating related intestinal dysbiosis and metabolic disorders. MccY could be a promising candidate as an antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory agent for treating infectious diseases.

Keywords: MccY; Non-Typhoid Salmonella; gut dysbiosis; intestinal epithelial barrier; lasso peptide.
