In Situ Gels for Nasal Delivery: Formulation, Characterization and Applications
Drug delivery through the nasal route offers many advantages, but is hampered by a number of challenges, such as the short drug retention time caused by mucociliary clearance. In situ forming gels, which undergo a sol‐to‐gel transition with specific triggers at the site of action, present real opportunities in this field.

Impacts of indoor surface finishes on bacterial viability. [PDF]
Microbes in indoor environments are constantly being exposed to antimicrobial surface finishes. Many are rendered non-viable after spending extended periods of time under low-moisture, low-nutrient surface conditions, regardless of whether those surfaces

High‐traffic areas, such as mass transportation environments, can have a significant impact on infection transmission, and chemical disinfection may favour the selection of drug‐resistant microbes. Probiotic‐based approaches have the potential to be a novel and ecologically sustainable option for controlling bioburden and preventing infections ...

The Synthesis and Evaluation of Layered Zirconium Phosphate and Aluminium Phosphate Intercalated by Quaternary Ammonium Ions [PDF]
The layered phosphates, mainly represented as MIV(HPO4)2·nH2O (M:metal ion), are the compounds which have the layered crystal structures. The layered phosphates have a lot of advantages such as high selectivity, and high stability against the strong acid

Effects of formulation on microbicide potency and mitigation of the development of bacterial insusceptibility [PDF]
Risk assessments of the potential for microbicides to select for reduced bacterial susceptibility have been based largely on data generated through the exposure of bacteria to microbicides in aqueous solution.

Biocide exposure induces changes in susceptibility, pathogenicity and biofilm formation in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are a frequent cause of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Biocides have been incorporated into catheter-coatings to inhibit bacterial colonisation whilst ideally exhibiting low ...

Applying Antimicrobial Strategies in Wound Care Practice: A Review of the Evidence
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance is increasing due to an overreliance on antimicrobials to treat and manage infections. Chronic wounds are particularly vulnerable to infections and harbour complex microbial communities, increasing the risk of secondary infections caused by antimicrobial resistant bacteria.
