Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

The Prevalence and Control of Bacillus and Related Spore-Forming Bacteria in the Dairy Industry [PDF]
, 2015 peer-reviewedMilk produced in udder cells is sterile but due to its high nutrient content, it can be a good growth substrate for contaminating bacteria. The quality of milk is monitored via somatic cell counts and total bacterial counts, with prescribed ...

Bacterial Genotoxins: Merging the DNA Damage Response into Infection Biology
Biomolecules, 2015 Bacterial genotoxins are unique among bacterial toxins as their molecular target is DNA. The consequence of intoxication or infection is induction of DNA breaks that, if not properly repaired, results in irreversible cell cycle arrest (senescence) or ...

Druggability of bacterial toxins-antitoxins [PDF]
, 2015 53 p.-8 fig.-3 tab.Type II (proteic) toxin-antitoxin (TA) operons are widely spread in bacteria and archaea. They are organized as operons in which, usually, the antitoxin gene precedes the cognate toxin gene.

Unrelated toxin-antitoxin systems cooperate to induce persistence. [PDF]
, 2015 Persisters are drug-tolerant bacteria that account for the majority of bacterial infections. They are not mutants, rather, they are slow-growing cells in an otherwise normally growing population.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...
