Negative pressure wound treatment with computer‐controlled irrigation/instillation decreases bacterial load in contaminated wounds and facilitates wound closure

open access: yesInternational Wound Journal, 2018
Microbial wound contamination is known to be a hindrance to wound healing. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with or without irrigation is known to optimise conditions in problem wounds.

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

How low can we go? The implications of low bacterial load in respiratory microbiota studies

open access: yesPneumonia, 2018
BackgroundCulture-independent sequencing methods are increasingly used to investigate the microbiota associated with human mucosal surfaces, including sites that have low bacterial load in healthy individuals (e.g. the lungs). Standard microbiota methods

Probiotic-Loaded Bacterial Cellulose as an Alternative to Combat Carbapenem-Resistant Bacterial Infections

open access: yesAntibiotics
Background: Carbapenems are one of the mainstays of treatment for antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). This has made the rise of carbapenem-resistant bacteria a threat to global health. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified carbapenem-resistant bacteria as critical pathogens, and the development of novel antibacterials capable of ...

The osteogenesis of bacterial cellulose scaffold loaded with fisetin.

open access: yesIranian journal of basic medical sciences, 2018
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has applications in medical science, it is easily synthesized, economic and purer compared to plant cellulose. The present study aimed to evaluate BC, a biocompatible natural polymer, as a scaffold for the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) loaded with fisetin, a phytoestrogen.BC hydrogel scaffold was prepared from ...
