Fighting disease: In the first decades after the introduction of antibiotics, there was widespread optimism that the fight against infectious disease could be won. This early advert for penicillin was targeted at World War II servicemen. (Picture: Wikipedia.)

Achilles heel: Bacterial pathogens often depend on pili for their attachment to host tissues. Researchers are looking for new drug candidates that can interfere with the complex self-assembly of these protein fibres at a specialised pore complex (usher) in the outer membrane (OM). Chaperones in the periplasm (P) protect the individual building blocks from aggregation. (Adapted from Remaut et al. (2008), Cell 133, 640-652.)

Infectious agent: Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a single Beijing influenza virus. The virus consists of a core of RNA (red) surrounded by a spiked protein envelope of haemagglutinin (brown). The spikes adhere to host cells during infection. (Photo: Science Photo Library.)
