Smart Antibacterial Coatings: Harnessing Bacterial Redox Activity for Infection Control

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 18, 22 September 2026.
In this study, we have shown that ceftazidime‐loaded poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT@CAZ) functions as a smart, redox‐responsive antibacterial coating that couples bacterial electrical activity with localized antibiotic delivery. Shewanella oneidensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa induced distinct redox responses in PEDOT, reflecting their ...

Oilfield Microbiology: Molecular Microbiology Techniques Used During a Biocide Evaluation

, 2018
Biocide chemicals are an essential control in the oil and gas industry. From drinking water to hydrocarbon production streams, it is necessary to use the correct chemical, at the correct dose to prevent uncontrolled microbiological activity.

Do Sex Ratio Distorting Microbes Inhibit the Evolution of Pesticide Resistance? An Experimental Test

Evolutionary Applications
We are still largely reliant on pesticides for the suppression of arthropod pests which threaten human health and food production, but the recent rise of evolved resistance among important pest species has reduced pesticide efficacy.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Comparative Antibacterial Performance of Solution‐Cast vs. Electrospun PLA/Lignin Membranes: Impact of Fabrication Technique

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigates how fabrication techniques influence the antibacterial efficacy of sustainable polylactic acid and lignin membranes. While solution casting encapsulates active components, electrospinning creates fibrous structures that maximize the exposure of lignin's antimicrobial phenolic groups.

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2026.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...
