"Photoactivated antibiotics to treat intracellular infection of bacteria" on the use of Quatum dot based antibiotics to reduce intracellular infections in a bone-infection model.
Infrared-light activated Quatum dots kill MDR bacterial infection in a mouse model. The study shows that QD antibiotics are safe and effective in an abcess infection model.
Quantum dot antibiotics can treat biofilms of multi-drug resistant bacterial isolates of MRSA, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli.
Quantum dot antibiotic animal safety and efficacy study "Photoexcited quantum dots as efficacious and nontoxic antibiotics in an animal model" shows that specifically-engineered and light-activated Quantum dot antibiotics can treat infection of MDR bacteria in an in vivo model, and are safe and non-toxic.
Near-infrared-active quantum dots (QDs) have been designed to generate therapeutic superoxide radicals within pathogens. The combination of activation using a deep-tissue-penetrating light source, and selective mechanism of action, produces an effective treatment.
Facile and Accelerated Specific Thaerpeutic (FAST) platform is used to develop antisense molecules that target genes of interest in non-model or genetically intractable spcies, such as MDR clinical isolates of bacteria. This allows us to identify which genes are important for antibtioic tolerance and/or resistance. This process can identify new gene targets in MDR bacteria in less than 5 days.
Transcriptomic Response to Superoxide Generating Quantum Dots in Echerichia coli confirms mechanism of action of Quatum dot antibiotics. We identify genes demonstrate a consistent association with the DNA damage response and deactivation of iron–sulfur clusters.
Potentiating antibiotic efficacy via perturbation of non-essential gene expression shows that combining individually fitness-neutral perturbations can compound fitness impacts and sesitize bacteria to antibiotics.

Welcome
Our research group uses a combination of interdisciplinary approaches including synthetic biology, systems biology, microbiology, synthetic chemistry, and nanoengineering to address the key global challenge involving antimicrobial resistance. We aim at developing strategies for rationally engineering next-generation smart antimicrobials that can eliminate multi-drug resistant superbugs, with the ultimate goal of creating therapies that can evade evolution of drug-resistance in microbes. To this end, we are also interested in investigating the non-genetic mechanisms responsible for antimicrobial tolerance/resistance to devise strategies that can one day prevent evolution of drug resistance. Using synthetic biology tools we are also interested in designing, constructing and engineering modular synthetic genetic devices based on less-explored naturally occurring mechanisms, for both understanding fundamentally how nature works as well as built devices for potential biotechnological applications.

ABC Channel News Features our Light-activated nanotherapy against antibiotic-resistant “superbugs”!

[video: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/cu-researchers-use-light-activated-nanoparticles-used-to-kill-antibiotic-resistant-superbugs]
In the ever-escalating evolutionary battle with drug-resistant bacteria, humans may soon have a leg up thanks to adaptive, light-activated nanotherapy developed by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Salmonella, E. Coli and Staphylococcus infect some 2 million people and kill at least 23,000 people in the United States each year. Efforts to thwart these so-called “superbugs” have consistently fallen short due to the bacteria’s ability to rapidly adapt and develop immunity to common antibiotics such as penicillin.
New research from CU-Boulder, however, suggests that the solution to this big global problem might be to think small—very small.
In findings published today in the journal Nature Materials, researchers at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the BioFrontiers Institute describe new light-activated therapeutic nanoparticles known as “quantum dots.” The dots, which are about 20,000 times smaller than a human hair and resemble the tiny semiconductors used in consumer electronics, successfully killed 92 percent of drug-resistant bacterial cells in a lab-grown culture.....
