One‐Step Immobilized Phage Depolymerase Coatings for Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) caused by drug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria remain a major clinical challenge. Here, a polydopamine‐assisted depolymerase coating degrades bacterial capsules and restores serum‐mediated killing, effectively suppressing biofilms and reducing bacterial burden in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo, presenting a

Porcupine‐Quill‐Inspired Shape‐Morphing Biointerfaces Disassemble Biofilms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A porcupine‐spine‐inspired dynamic offensive bio‐interface is developed for active biofilm disassembly. By coupling electrically driven nano‐dagger penetration with light‐triggered ROS generation, the surface overcomes the passive limitations of conventional mechano‐bactericidal topographies, achieving near‐complete biofilm eradication, strong ...

Next Generation Antimicrobial Coatings for High Touch Surfaces: Application, Benefits, Risks, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability Aspects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial coatings for high touch surfaces promise infection control but are too often validated only in the lab. This review shows that active‐agent release governs both human toxicity and environmental impact and argues that durability and real‐world performance must be primary design criteria, placing a safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework ...

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...
