Characterization of Anti-Biofilm Peptide Activity: A Biophysical Approach [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2017 The increasing number of multidrug resistant bacteria to available antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. One major strategy for resistance and an important reason for failure of therapy in the clinic is biofilm formation. To cope with unfavorable surroundings many bacteria live as biofilms, sessile micro-colonies adherent to surfaces that secrete

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐

Design and surface immobilization of short anti-biofilm peptides [PDF]
Acta Biomaterialia, 2017 Short antimicrobial peptides are essential to keep us healthy and their lasting potency can inspire the design of new types of antibiotics. This study reports the design of a family of eight-residue tryptophan-rich peptides (TetraF2W) obtained by converting the four phenylalanines in temporin-SHf to tryptophans. The temporin-SHf template was identified
