RADA16 and SAAP148 Peptide‐Modified Collagen Self‐Assembled Hydrogels for Accelerated Healing of Infected Wounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Collagen type I (Col I) is integrated with self‐assembling peptide RADA16 and loaded with anti‐bacterial peptide SAAP148 to develop a self‐assembled nano‐microstructure hydrogel (Col I‐RADA16‐SAAP148, CRS) without chemical cross‐linkers. CRS exhibits excellent mechanical properties, sustained SAAP148 release to inhibit bacterial infection, macrophage ...

High-dose Sulbactam Treatment for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant [PDF]

Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2016
Background Several antibiotics can be used to treat ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB-VAP) including high-dose sulbactam. However, the effectiveness of high-dose sulbactam therapy is not well known.

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.

Bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil containing elevated concentrations of sodium chloride and heavy metals

Трансформация экосистем
The study of the effect of heavy metals and sodium chloride on the oxidative activity of oil destructor strains of the genus Acinetobacter showed that the bacteria retain the ability to biodegrade oil at concentrations of lead and zinc ions up to 1000 ...

Single‐Atom Cobalt Species on Curved Hollow Carbon Sphere: Breaking Linear Scaling Relationship Limitations in Electrocatalytic Deactivation of Dilute Antibiotic Pollutants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cobalt (Co)‐SACs consisting of single‐atom Co anchored on a nitrogen‐doped hollow porous carbon sphere (Co1/N‐HCS) is fabricated for electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination of dilute antibiotics. The hollow porous architecture of N‐HCS concentrates the antibiotics, while its curved surface promotes proton transfer at the Co1 site via localized electric ...

Marine aerobic biofilm as biocathode catalyst [PDF]

, 2010
Stainless steel electrodes were immersed in open seawater and polarized for some days at − 200 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The current increase indicated the formation of biofilms that catalysed the electrochemical reduction of oxygen.

Comparison of Pre‐ and Postoperative Gut Microbiota Diversity in Patients With Rectal Cancer Undergoing Stoma Creation and Closure

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of temporary stoma creation and closure on gut microbiota diversity in rectal cancer patients. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that microbial diversity significantly decreased postoperatively in the stoma group but remained stable in non‐stoma patients.
