Structure‐driven immature cotton nanocomposite fibers for ESKAPE pathogen control

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Transforming underutilized, low‐quality immature cotton fibers into functional materials provides a sustainable strategy for enhancing economic value. In this study, the intrinsic structural features of immature cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers—typically considered as defects in textile processing—were exploited for the in situ synthesis ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Poly(Disulfide)s: A Versatile Platform for Intelligent Drug Delivery Systems

MedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Ring‐opening polymerization based on dynamic disulfide bond exchange is an important method for synthesizing poly(disulfide)s. These polymers possess stimulus‐responsive mechanisms and show broad prospects in intelligent drug delivery. This review systematically discusses the ring‐opening polymerization strategy and research progress of drug delivery ...

Carnitine metabolism to trimethylamine by an unusual Rieske-type oxygenase from human microbiota [PDF]

, 2014
Dietary intake of L-carnitine can promote cardiovascular diseases in humans through microbial production of trimethylamine (TMA) and its subsequent oxidation to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenases.

A rational strategy to optimize photodrugs by Molecular Dynamics simulations for killing drug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance has become a major threat to human health, particularly for Gram‐negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Disruption of membrane integrity is regarded as a promising antimicrobial strategy that does not induce distinct drug resistance, while increasing the internalization of drug ...

Regulation of overexpressed efflux pump encoding genes by cinnamon oil and trimethoprim to abolish carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

BMC Microbiology
Resistance mechanisms are a shelter for Acinetobacter baumannii to adapt to our environment which causes difficulty for the infections to be treated and WHO declares this organism on the top of pathogens priority for new drug development. The most common

Clinical and in vitro efficacy of colistin plus vancomycin and rifampin against colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii causing ventilator-associated pneumonia [PDF]

, 2017
We present the case of a patient with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by a pan-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii successfully treated with the combination colistin plus vancomycin plus rifampin, whose in vitro activity was investigated by ...

Challenges in Diagnosing and Treating Percutaneous Nephrostomy‐Related Urinary Tract Infection in Cancer Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to evaluate medical decisions regarding urinary tract infection (UTI), describe associated microorganisms, and assess potential risk factors for percutaneous nephrostomy‐related UTI (UTI‐PN). Methods Oncological patients who underwent percutaneous nephrostomy (PN) were included. We assessed percutaneous nephrostomy procedure‐

The clinical characteristics of Acinetobacter bacteremia differ among genomospecies: A hospital-based retrospective comparative analysis of genotypically identified strains

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Background/purpose: Acinetobacter is an aerobic, gram-negative coccobacillus, which causes nosocomial infections including bacteremia. Recent development of molecular techniques has made classification of the Acinetobacter genomospecies possible, but ...

Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole‐Induced Systemic Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole can induce life‐threatening toxic epidermal necrolysis. Early recognition, immediate drug cessation, and multidisciplinary supportive care are critical. Even with aggressive therapy, mortality remains high, and SCORTEN score aids in prognostication.
