Antimicrobial Multi‐Assay Evaluation of (Al‐Doped ZnO)‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag Nanocoatings: Impact of Direct and Indirect Mechanisms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work explores the antimicrobial action of AZO‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag nanocoatings on plastic, demonstrating good efficacy against highly‐critical antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, yeast, and virus. A multi‐assay approach is here exploited to inspect the contribution of direct and indirect antimicrobial mechanisms, and potential human toxicity is also ...

Investigating the cultural and contextual determinants of antimicrobial stewardship programmes across low-, middle- and high-income countries—A qualitative study [PDF]

, 2018
Background Most of the evidence on antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASP) to help sustain the effectiveness of antimicrobials is generated in high income countries. We report a study investigating implementation of ASP in secondary care across low-,

Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Chitosan: the Biodegradable Transition in Medical Waste Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The shift to biodegradable materials in healthcare promises reduced plastic pollution, but their production, adoption, and long‐term impacts remain complex. Integrating lifecycle insights with global policy coordination is essential for meaningful environmental gains. Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sharply increased medical waste, intensifying concerns

The Gut Resistome Atlas in Preterm Infants Enables Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Onset

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut resistome of preterm infants and its clinical relevance remain poorly understood. This study performs in‐depth integrative analyses of 5,684 gut metagenomes from preterm infants, uncovering distinct features that diverge from term infants. Notably, the gut resistome of preterm infants converges 9 days before necrotizing enterocolitis onset ...

Mechano‐Bactericidal Surfaces Achieved by Epitaxial Growth of Metal–Organic Frameworks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechano‐bactericidal surfaces based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are designed using a MOF‐on‐MOF strategy. Two methods of MOF surface assembly, in situ growth and ex situ dropcasting, are applied. Distinct mechano‐bactericidal actions are discussed, including stretching, impaling, and mechanical injury. Abstract Mechano‐bactericidal (MB) surfaces
