The chronic wound characterisation study and biobank: a study protocol for a prospective observational cohort investigation of bacterial community composition, inflammatory responses and wound-healing trajectories in non-healing wounds

BMJ Open
Introduction Chronic wounds affect 1%–2% of the global population, with rising incidence due to ageing and lifestyle-related diseases. Bacterial biofilms, found in 80% of chronic wounds, and scattered single-cell bacteria may hinder healing. Microbes are

Impact of the repurposed drug thonzonium bromide on host oral-gut microbiomes

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021
Drug repurposing is a feasible strategy for the development of novel therapeutic applications. However, its potential use for oral treatments and impact on host microbiota remain underexplored.

Antibacterial Liquid Metals: Biofilm Treatment via Magnetic Activation.

ACS Nano, 2020
Antibiotic resistance has made the treatment of biofilm-related infections challenging. As such, the quest for next-generation antimicrobial technologies must focus on targeted therapies to which pathogenic bacteria cannot develop resistance.

Z‐Scheme Water Splitting Systems Based on Solid‐State Electron Conductors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the latest advances in Z‐scheme overall water splitting (OWS) systems for solar hydrogen production. These systems consist of suspended or immobilized hydrogen evolution photocatalysts (HEPs) and oxygen evolution photocatalysts (OEPs).

Laboratory Grown Biofilms of Bacteria Associated with Human Atherosclerotic Carotid Arteries Release Collagenases and Gelatinases during Iron-Induced Dispersion

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The association of bacteria with arterial plaque lesions in patients with atherosclerosis has been widely reported. However, the role these bacteria play in the progression of atherosclerosis is still unclear.

A messenger molecule governs interdependency in an evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm community [PDF]

, 2011
Biofilm populations are known to harbor great diversity, but the importance of this diversity is not fully understood. A likely contributor to this variation is the second messenger molecule cyclic-di-GMP: low levels associate with a planktonic lifestyle

Hsp90 governs dispersion and drug resistance of fungal biofilms [PDF]

, 2011
Fungal biofilms are a major cause of human mortality and are recalcitrant to most treatments due to intrinsic drug resistance. These complex communities of multiple cell types form on indwelling medical devices and their eradication often requires ...

Microbubble‐Controlled Delivery of Biofilm‐Targeting Nanoparticles to Treat MRSA Infection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, an effective strategy using microbubble (MB)‐controlled delivery of biofilm‐targeting nanoparticles (BTNs) for removal and therapy of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections is introduced. In vivo delivery of MB with BTN is demonstrated to silence key bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation (icaA), bacterial ...
