Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Identification of a Pair of Linear or Cyclic Naturally Inspired Bifunctional Lipopeptide Antibiotics That Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The underexplored bacterial genus Aquimarina harbors a large biosynthetic potential for discovering new antibiotics. Here, the authors identify a pair of linear or cyclic bifunctional cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, aquicidine L and C4, inspired by the aquicidine gene cluster from Aquimarina.

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]

, 2019
Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

Prolonged Prophylactic Antibiotics Based on Preoperative Bile Culture Reduce Surgical Site Infections After Pancreaticoduodenectomy Following Preoperative Biliary Drainage: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The optimum duration of prophylactic antibiotics after pancreaticoduodenectomy following preoperative biliary drainage to prevent surgical site infections remains controversial. We evaluate whether a prolonged course of prophylactic antibiotics reduces surgical site infection after pancreaticoduodenectomy following biliary drainage ...

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]

, 2012
The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and
