The propensity of broad-spectrum antibiotics to indiscriminately kill both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria has a profound impact on the spread of resistance across multiple bacterial species. Alternative approaches that narrow antibacterial specificity towards desired pathogenic bacterial population are of great interest. Here, we report an enzyme-responsive antibiotic-loaded nanoassembly strategy for narrow delivery of otherwise broad-spectrum antibiotics. We specifically target Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), an important blood pathogen that secretes PC1 β-lactamases. Our nanoassemblies selectively eradicate S. aureus grown in vitro with other bacteria, highlighting its potential capability in targeting the desired pathogenic bacterial population.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria

D013211 Staphylococcus aureus Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
