Antimicrobial peptide coatings for hydroxyapatite: electrostatic and covalent attachment of antimicrobial peptides to surfaces [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2017
The interface between implanted devices and their host tissue is complex and is often optimized for maximal integration and cell adhesion. However, this also gives a surface suitable for bacterial colonization. We have developed a novel method of modifying the surface at the material–tissue interface with an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) coating to allow

Importance of antimicrobial stewardship in solid organ transplant recipients: An ESCMID perspective. [PDF]

, 2022
BackgroundIn the last decades, solid organ transplantation (SOT) has emerged as an important method in the management of chronic kidney, liver, heart, and lung failure.

Antimicrobial drug use and resistance in Europe [PDF]

, 2008
Our study confronts the use of antimicrobial agents in ambulatory care with the resistance trends of 2 major pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, in 21 European countries in 2000–2005 and explores whether the notion that ...

Attachment of Proteolytic Enzyme Inhibitors to Vascular Prosthesis – an Analysis of Binding and Antimicrobial Properties

Molecules, 2023
Prosthetic infections are associated with high morbidity, mortality, and relapse rates making them still a serious problem for implantology. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common bacterial pathogens causing prosthetic infections. In response to the increasing rate of bacterial resistance to commonly used antibiotics, the work proposed a ...

Bacterial Attachment and Biofilm Formation on Antimicrobial Sealants and Stainless Steel Surfaces

Foods, 2022
Biofilms are highly resistant to external forces, especially chemicals. Hence, alternative control strategies, like antimicrobial substances, are forced. Antimicrobial surfaces can inhibit and reduce microbial adhesion to surfaces, preventing biofilm formation.

Improved antimicrobial properties of methylene blue attached to silver nanoparticles

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2020
Photosensitizing agents are the cornerstone of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). They play an essential role in deactivation process of multidrug resistant pathogens and tumor treatments. In this work, we studied a photosensitizing agent made from mixture of Silver Nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and Methylene Blue (MB) which possess improved important ...

Expression of antimicrobial drug tolerance by attached communities ofMycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

Pathogens and Disease, 2014
There is an urgent need to improve methods used to screen antituberculosis drugs. An in vitro assay was developed to test drug treatment strategies that specifically target drug-tolerant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The H37Rv strain of M. tuberculosis survived antimicrobial treatment as attached microbial communities when maintained in tissue culture ...

Do microplastics promote the attachment of antimicrobial resistant pathogens?

, 2022
Microplastics are the most prevalent type of plastic pollutant in the aquatic environment and frequently coexist in environmental compartments with antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria, human pathogens and antimicrobial residues, particularly in faecal contaminated settings.

Human Chemokines as Antimicrobial Peptides with Direct Parasiticidal Effect on Leishmania mexicana In Vitro [PDF]

, 2013
Chemokines and chemokine receptor-mediated effects are important mediators of the immunological response and cure in human leishmaniasis. However, in addition to their signalling properties for leukocytes, many chemokines have also been shown to act ...
