Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

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.

Reconfigurable Magnetic Soft Microrobot for Acoustically Triggered Targeted Bacterial Sterilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable magnetic soft microrobots integrate in situ‐grown piezoelectric zinc oxide nanorods that produce reactive oxygen species upon acoustic excitation. Combining magnetically guided transport with thermally induced planar reconfiguration, the microrobots achieve targeted delivery and enhanced bacterial sterilization through efficient on ...

High Resolution Typing by Whole Genome Mapping Enables Discrimination of LA-MRSA (CC398) Strains and Identification of Transmission Events.

PLoS ONE, 2013
After its emergence in 2003, a livestock-associated (LA-)MRSA clade (CC398) has caused an impressive increase in the number of isolates submitted for the Dutch national MRSA surveillance and now comprises 40% of all isolates. The currently used molecular

Técnicas de avaliação da resistência de ameixeira à Xanthomonas arboricola pv pruni Screening techniques for bacterial spot (Xanthomonas arboricola pv pruni) resistance in japanese-type plum cultivars

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2005
A bacteriose da ameixeira e de outras frutíferas de caroço, causada pela bactéria Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Smith), é uma doença grave em climas quentes e úmidos. O controle químico é oneroso, de baixa eficiência e danoso ao meio ambiente. Por outro lado, em áreas de ocorrência da doença, o uso de cultivares resistentes é muito importante ...

An All‐Optical Driven Bio‐Photovoltaic Interface for Active Control of Live Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐photovoltaic Interface (BIO‐PV‐I) for live cell manipulation is presented. BIO‐PV‐I can be activated non‐invasively and remotely to control the spatial motility, adhesion, and morphology of cells adhering to it. BIO‐PV‐I uses a patterned light‐induced electric potential in iron‐doped lithium niobate crystals whose light‐driven and reversible nature,
