The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused substantial morbidity and mortality, and serious social and economic disruptions worldwide. Unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated older individuals with underlying diseases are especially prone to severe disease. In patients with non-fatal disease, long COVID affecting multiple body systems may persist for months. Unlike SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, which have either been mitigated or remained geographically restricted, SARS-CoV-2 has disseminated globally and is likely to continue circulating in humans with possible emergence of new variants that may render vaccines less effective. Thus, safe, effective and readily available COVID-19 therapeutics are urgently needed. In this Review, we summarize the major drug discovery approaches, preclinical antiviral evaluation models, representative virus-targeting and host-targeting therapeutic options, and key therapeutics currently in clinical use for COVID-19. Preparedness against future coronavirus pandemics relies not only on effective vaccines but also on broad-spectrum antivirals targeting conserved viral components or universal host targets, and new therapeutics that can precisely modulate the immune response during infection. In this Review, Chan et al. explore major drug discovery approaches, preclinical antiviral evaluation models, virus-targeting and host-targeting therapeutic strategies, and key treatments currently used in clinical settings for COVID-19.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行在全球范围内造成了大量的发病和死亡以及严重的社会和经济混乱。未接种疫苗或未完全接种疫苗的患有基础疾病的老年人尤其容易患上严重疾病。在非致命性疾病患者中,影响多个身体系统的长期 COVID 可能会持续数月。与 SARS-CoV 和中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒不同的是,SARS-CoV-2 已在全球范围内传播,并有可能继续在人类中流行,而且可能出现新的变种,从而降低疫苗的效力。因此,我们迫切需要安全、有效和随时可用的 COVID-19 疗法。在本综述中,我们总结了主要的药物发现方法、临床前抗病毒评估模型、具有代表性的病毒靶向和宿主靶向治疗方案,以及目前用于临床治疗 COVID-19 的主要疗法。防范未来冠状病毒大流行不仅需要有效的疫苗,还需要针对保守病毒成分或通用宿主靶点的广谱抗病毒药物,以及能够在感染期间精确调节免疫反应的新疗法。

The skin barrier protects the human body from invasion by exogenous and pathogenic microorganisms. A breach in this barrier exposes the underlying tissue to microbial contamination, which can lead to infection, delayed healing, and further loss of tissue and organ integrity. Delayed wound healing and chronic wounds are associated with comorbidities, including diabetes, advanced age, immunosuppression and autoimmune disease. The wound microbiota can influence each stage of the multi-factorial repair process and influence the likelihood of an infection. Pathogens that commonly infect wounds, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, express specialized virulence factors that facilitate adherence and invasion. Biofilm formation and other polymicrobial interactions contribute to host immunity evasion and resistance to antimicrobial therapies. Anaerobic organisms, fungal and viral pathogens, and emerging drug-resistant microorganisms present unique challenges for diagnosis and therapy. In this Review, we explore the current understanding of how microorganisms present in wounds impact the process of skin repair and lead to infection through their actions on the host and the other microbial wound inhabitants. In this Review, Uberoi, McCready-Vangi and Grice explore the diversity of microorganisms present in wounds and examine the mechanisms through which they invade skin tissues, impair skin repair and cause infection.
皮肤屏障保护人体免受外源性和致病性微生物的入侵。皮肤屏障一旦被破坏,下层组织就会受到微生物的污染,从而导致感染、延迟愈合以及组织和器官完整性的进一步丧失。伤口延迟愈合和慢性伤口与糖尿病、高龄、免疫抑制和自身免疫性疾病等合并症有关。伤口微生物群会影响多因素修复过程的每个阶段,并影响感染的可能性。通常感染伤口的病原体,如金黄色葡萄球菌和铜绿假单胞菌,会表达专门的毒力因子,以促进粘附和入侵。生物膜的形成和其他多微生物的相互作用会导致宿主免疫逃避和对抗菌疗法产生抗药性。厌氧菌、真菌和病毒病原体以及新出现的耐药微生物给诊断和治疗带来了独特的挑战。在本综述中,我们将探讨目前对伤口中微生物如何影响皮肤修复过程并通过对宿主和其他伤口微生物居民的作用导致感染的认识。

Microbial food spoilage: impact, causative agents and control strategies 食品微生物腐败:影响、致病因子和控制策略
IF 69.2 1区 生物学 Q1 MICROBIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-04-03 DOI: 10.1038/s41579-024-01037-x

Microbial food spoilage is a major contributor to food waste and, hence, to the negative environmental sustainability impacts of food production and processing. Globally, it is estimated that 15–20% of food is wasted, with waste, by definition, occurring after primary production and harvesting (for example, in households and food service establishments). Although the causative agents of food spoilage are diverse, many microorganisms are major contributors across different types of foods. For example, the genus Pseudomonas causes spoilage in various raw and ready-to-eat foods. Aerobic sporeformers (for example, members of the genera Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Alicyclobacillus) cause spoilage across various foods and beverages, whereas anaerobic sporeformers (for example, Clostridiales) cause spoilage in a range of products that present low-oxygen environments. Fungi are also important spoilage microorganisms, including in products that are not susceptible to bacterial spoilage due to their low water activity or low pH. Strategies that can reduce spoilage include improved control of spoilage microorganisms in raw material and environmental sources as well as application of microbicidal or microbiostatic strategies (for example, to products and packaging). Emerging tools (for example, systems models and improved genomic tools) represent an opportunity for rational design of systems, processes and products that minimize microbial food spoilage. In this Review, Snyder et al. discuss the global impacts of food spoilage, mechanisms and causative agents, and strategies and emerging tools to control microbial food spoilage.
食品微生物腐败是造成食品浪费的主要原因,因此也是食品生产和加工对环境可持续性产生负面影响的主要原因。据估计,全球有 15-20% 的食物被浪费掉,根据定义,浪费发生在初级生产和收获之后(例如,在家庭和食品服务机构)。虽然食品腐败的致病因子多种多样,但许多微生物是不同类型食品的主要致病因子。例如,假单胞菌属会导致各种生食和即食食品变质。需氧孢子形成菌(例如芽孢杆菌属、巴氏杆菌属和阿利西环杆菌属)会导致各种食品和饮料变质,而厌氧孢子形成菌(例如梭状芽孢杆菌)则会导致一系列低氧环境下的产品变质。真菌也是重要的腐败微生物,包括在因水活性低或 pH 值低而不易受细菌腐败影响的产品中。减少腐败的策略包括改进对原材料和环境来源中腐败微生物的控制,以及应用杀菌或微生物静态策略(例如,对产品和包装)。新出现的工具(如系统模型和改进的基因组工具)为合理设计系统、工艺和产品提供了机会,从而最大限度地减少微生物对食品的腐败作用。

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is estimated to cause 13% of all antimicrobial resistance-attributable deaths worldwide and is driven by both ongoing resistance acquisition and person-to-person transmission. Poor outcomes are exacerbated by late diagnosis and inadequate access to effective treatment. Advances in rapid molecular testing have recently improved the diagnosis of TB and drug resistance. Next-generation sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has increased our understanding of genetic resistance mechanisms and can now detect mutations associated with resistance phenotypes. All-oral, shorter drug regimens that can achieve high cure rates of drug-resistant TB within 6–9 months are now available and recommended but have yet to be scaled to global clinical use. Promising regimens for the prevention of drug-resistant TB among high-risk contacts are supported by early clinical trial data but final results are pending. A person-centred approach is crucial in managing drug-resistant TB to reduce the risk of poor treatment outcomes, side effects, stigma and mental health burden associated with the diagnosis. In this Review, we describe current surveillance of drug-resistant TB and the causes, risk factors and determinants of drug resistance as well as the stigma and mental health considerations associated with it. We discuss recent advances in diagnostics and drug-susceptibility testing and outline the progress in developing better treatment and preventive therapies. In this Review, Pai and colleagues examine the global landscape of drug-resistant tuberculosis, exploring its epidemiology, causes, risk factors, stigma and associated mental health burden as well as discussing the most recent developments in diagnostics, treatment and preventive regimens.
据估计,耐药性结核病(TB)造成的死亡人数占全球抗菌药耐药性致死人数的 13%,其驱动因素包括耐药性的持续获得和人际传播。晚期诊断和有效治疗的不足加剧了不良后果。最近,快速分子检测技术的进步改善了结核病和耐药性的诊断。结核分枝杆菌的下一代测序加深了我们对遗传抗药性机制的了解,现在可以检测到与抗药性表型相关的突变。全口服、较短疗程的药物治疗方案可在 6-9 个月内达到较高的耐药结核病治愈率,现已问世并得到推荐,但尚未推广到全球临床使用。早期临床试验数据支持在高危接触者中预防耐药结核病的有希望的治疗方案,但最终结果尚未出炉。以人为本的方法对于耐药结核病的管理至关重要,可降低治疗效果不佳、副作用、耻辱感以及与诊断相关的心理健康负担的风险。在本综述中,我们将介绍目前对耐药性结核病的监测情况,耐药性的原因、风险因素和决定因素,以及与之相关的耻辱感和心理健康问题。我们讨论了诊断和药物敏感性测试方面的最新进展,并概述了在开发更好的治疗和预防疗法方面取得的进展。

Antimicrobial treatment and resistance in sexually transmitted bacterial infections 性传播细菌感染的抗菌治疗和耐药性
IF 88.1 1区 生物学 Q1 Medicine Pub Date : 2024-03-20 DOI: 10.1038/s41579-024-01023-3
Jorgen S. Jensen, Magnus Unemo
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been part of human life since ancient times, and their symptoms affect quality of life, and sequelae are common. Socioeconomic and behavioural trends affect the prevalence of STIs, but the discovery of antimicrobials gave hope for treatment, control of the spread of infection and lower rates of sequelae. This has to some extent been achieved, but increasing antimicrobial resistance and increasing transmission in high-risk sexual networks threaten this progress. For Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the only remaining first-line treatment (with ceftriaxone) is at risk of becoming ineffective, and for Mycoplasma genitalium, for which fewer alternative antimicrobial classes are available, incurable infections have already been reported. For Chlamydia trachomatis, in vitro resistance to first-line tetracyclines and macrolides has never been confirmed despite decades of treatment of this highly prevalent STI. Similarly, Treponema pallidum, the cause of syphilis, has remained susceptible to first-line penicillin. In the Review, Jensen and Unemo examine the epidemiology and clinical features, treatment options, and antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium, while briefly covering Chlamydia trachomatis and Treponema pallidum.
性传播感染(STI)自古以来就是人类生活的一部分,其症状影响生活质量,后遗症也很常见。社会经济和行为趋势影响着性传播感染的流行,但抗菌药物的发现为治疗、控制感染传播和降低后遗症发生率带来了希望。这在一定程度上已经实现,但抗菌药耐药性的增加和高风险性网络传播的增加威胁着这一进展。对于淋病奈瑟菌,仅存的一线治疗方法(头孢曲松)有可能失效,而对于生殖支原体,可供选择的抗菌素种类较少,已经出现了无法治愈的感染病例。对于沙眼衣原体,尽管对这一高发性传播感染进行了数十年的治疗,但体外对一线四环素类和大环内酯类药物的耐药性从未得到证实。同样,梅毒的病原体苍白螺旋体(Treponema pallidum)仍然对一线青霉素敏感。
