Electrical Monitoring of Vibrio vulnificus–Host Cell Membrane Interactions in Simple and Complex Matrices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Supported lipid bilayers coupled with multielectrode array devices offer significant promise for pathogen–host cell membrane interaction studies. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the compatibility of this platform with biological fluids, in this case whole human blood, essential for any future point‐of‐care applications; as well as its ...

The impact of antioxidant-ciprofloxacin combinations on the evolution of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

open access: yesnpj Biofilms and Microbiomes
The evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in biofilms, driven by mechanisms like oxidative stress, is a major challenge. This study investigates whether antioxidants (AOs) such as N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and Edaravone (ED) can reduce AMR in ...

Sugars in Antimicrobial Polymers – The Impact of Sugar‐Lectin Binding in Membrane Interaction of Cationic Glycopolymers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Photo‐iniferter polymerization is used to create antimicrobial polymers which are decorated with sugar units by either copolymerization of glycomonomers or post‐polymerization functionalization. Although a selectivity based on lectin binding can not be observed, the presence of sugar leads to improved bioactivity based on the presence of neutral ...

The dynamics of biofilm development and dispersal should be taken into account when quantifying biofilm via the crystal violet microtiter plate assay

open access: yesBiofilm
The crystal violet microtiter plate biofilm assay is often used to compare the amount of biofilm formed by a mutant versus wild-type or a compound-treated biofilm versus the non-treatment control.

Exploring 3D Printing and Electrospinning Technologies for Advanced Porous Membrane Fabrication: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper contrasts electrospinning and 3D printing for porous membrane fabrication, evaluating their evolution, cost, resolution, mechanical traits, and scalability. While 3D printing excels in material diversity and industrial adaptability, electrospinning achieves finer resolution and thermal resilience.

Self‐Sterilizing Face Mask Employing Enzymatic Power Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electric face mask with flexible biofuel cell integration for on‐the‐go sterilization is developed utilizing ethanol oxidation via alcohol dehydrogenase, and oxygen reduction via bilirubin oxidase. Modified face mask exhibited bacterial death rates of 40–60% at only 20 µA of electric current, easily generated by the biofuel cell continuously over hours
