Abstract

Significance: Clinical treatment of Helicobacter pylori using combination therapy is greatly challenged by the undesired killing of commensal bacteria and progressive development of drug resistance. To address these issues, we developed pH-sensitive, helix–coil conformation transitionable, antimicrobial polypeptides as a single therapeutic agent to selectively kill H. pylori under acidic condition in the stomach with minimal toxicity to commensal bacteria and diminished drug resistance. Through the control of the secondary structure transition, the polypeptides showed unappreciable toxicity to commensal bacteria and tissues at physiological pH when they adopted random coiled conformation, while the restoration of helical structure in the acidic stomach allowed the polypeptide to regain membrane disruptive capability to effectively and selectively kill H. pylori , including drug-resistant strains.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
