Upregulation of outer membrane porin gene ompC contributed to enhancement of azithromycin susceptibility in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli

Microbiology Spectrum
The outer membrane (OM) in gram-negative bacteria contains proteins that regulate the passive or active uptake of small molecules for growth and cell function, as well as mediate the emergence of antibiotic resistance.

Biomaterials for resolution of peri‐implantitis: Consensus report of Workgroup 2 of the IADR Implantology Research Group Best Evidence Consensus Symposium on Peri‐Implant Disease and Its Treatment

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is a destructive disease affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants. Biomaterials may be applied during surgical treatment to reconstruct bony defects and support soft tissue healing. However, current evidence is unclear if these treatments increase the likelihood of peri‐implantitis resolution.
