Green-Synthesized Nanomaterials from Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms: A Sustainable Strategy Against Antimicrobial Resistance

Scientists are developing a new weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria using mushrooms. These special nanoparticles derived from edible and medicinal mushrooms can kill harmful bacteria in multiple ways without the toxic chemicals used in traditional manufacturing. The nanoparticles work by disrupting bacterial membranes, creating harmful molecules called free radicals, and even boosting your body’s natural immune response. This environmentally friendly approach could become an important tool in fighting dangerous infections that don’t respond to current antibiotics.

Genome-Mining Based Discovery of Pyrrolomycin K and L from the Termite-Associated Micromonospora sp. RB23

Scientists discovered two new antimicrobial compounds called pyrrolomycins from bacteria living in termites using genome sequencing and chemical analysis. These compounds contain chlorine atoms and are related to known antibiotics. The research shows how the bacteria protects itself from its own antimicrobial compounds through chemical modifications, offering insights into developing new antibiotics.
