Acinetobacter baumannii Resistance: A Real Challenge for Clinicians

Antibiotics, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii (named in honor of the American bacteriologists Paul and Linda Baumann) is a Gram-negative, multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen that causes nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care units (ICUs) and immunocompromised ...

Aptamer Engineering: Strategies for Discovering Functional Nucleic Acids for Next‐Generation Diagnostics and Biosensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The advent of aptamers has highlighted their potential as alternatives to antibodies, overcoming limitations of structural instability and production cost. However, conventional approaches such as SELEX remain slow and labor‐intensive. This review examines recent advances in aptamer engineering, emphasizing in vitro and AI‐driven in silico strategies ...

The Response of Acinetobacter baumannii to Zinc Starvation [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2016
Zinc (Zn) is an essential metal that vertebrates sequester from pathogens to protect against infection. Investigating the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii's response to Zn starvation, we identified a putative Zn metallochaperone, ZigA, which binds Zn and is required for bacterial growth under Zn-limiting conditions and for disseminated ...

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 ...
