[Biological alternatives to antibiotics].
Przeglad epidemiologiczny, 2010 The paper presents the characteristics of biological alternatives to antibiotics, that are bacteriophages, bacterial cell wall hydrolases and antimicrobial alternatives. Those substances are promising candidates that can successfully replace a lot of chemioterapeutics at the time of antibiotic-resistance.

A Critical Call for Mechanistic Investigations of Metal‐Bacteria Interactions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.It is well established that the antibacterial properties of metals have tremendous importance for bioengineering applications. What is not as appreciated, however, is the reproducibility crisis in this field's vast literature. In this perspective, we highlight this reproducibility problem, discuss its sources, and suggest solutions towards focused ...
