Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Sucrose Laurate as a Biofilm-Modifying Adjunct for Cleaning-in-Place Chemical Control of Escherichia coli K-12 Biofilms

Journal of Food Protection
Biofilms on food processing surfaces can persist despite cleaning and sanitation, creating a need for adjunct strategies that improve biofilm control without replacing existing cleaning-in-place systems. This study evaluated sucrose laurate (SL), a sugar-

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Antibodies to PhnD Inhibit Staphylococcal Biofilms [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2014
ABSTRACT Biofilm formation on central lines or peripheral catheters is a serious threat to patient well-being. Contaminated vascular devices can act as a nidus for bloodstream infection and systemic pathogen dissemination. Staphylococcal biofilms are the most common cause of central-line-associated bloodstream infections, and ...

Inhibition of Staphylococcal Biofilm Formation by Nitrite [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2007
ABSTRACT Several environmental stresses have been demonstrated to increase polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) synthesis and biofilm formation by the human pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis . In this study we characterized an adaptive response of
