Chronic Wounds: The Persistent Infection Problem [PDF]
, 2013 Chronic wounds heal poorly and can have a huge impact on a sufferer’s life. They are caused by a number of factors, one of which is the presence of persistent infections.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACT Bacteria have a natural propensity to grow as sessile, matrix-encapsulated, multicellular communities called biofilms. Formation of biofilms proceeds through genetically programmed, distinct developmental stages signaled by intricate networks of communication among the constituent population and their environment ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, a biointerface membrane engineered with site‐specific interfacial properties is developed. During implantation between gingival and bone defect, the membrane creates a pro‐osteogenic microenvironment, precisely modulates cellular activities at each biointerface, and facilitates the orchestration of complex healing events, ultimately leading to ...

Biofilm-forming capability of highly virulent, multidrug-resistant Candida auris [PDF]
, 2017 The emerging multidrug-resistant yeast pathogen Candida auris has attracted considerable attention as a source of healthcare–associated infections. We report that this highly virulent yeast has the capacity to form antifungal resistant biofilms sensitive

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study develops a self‐powered permeable electronic dressing (SPED) that synergistically integrates exudate management, electrical stimulation, and on‐demand drug delivery. The dressing effectively absorbs exudate while demonstrating potent antibacterial activity and accelerated tissue regeneration in diabetic mouse models, thereby promoting ...

Effect of nonionic and amphoteric surfactants on salivary pellicles reconstituted in vitro
Scientific Reports, 2021 Surfactants are important components of oral care products. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is the most common because of its foaming properties, taste and low cost.

, 2010 After presenting the concept of biofilms, reference is made to their importance in industry and health. Although biofilms are also well known for their deleterious effects (biofouling), emphasis is here given to the beneficial use of biofilms in wastewater treatment.

Amyloidogenic Peptide Fragments Designed From Bacterial Collagen‐like Proteins Form Hydrogel
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study identified amyloidogenic sequence motifs in bacterial collagen‐like proteins and exploited these to design peptides that self‐assemble into β‐sheet fibers and form hydrogels. One hydrogel supported healthy fibroblast growth, showing promise for biocompatible materials. Our work demonstrates that bacterial sequences can be harnessed to create

Impact of Rap-Phr system abundance on adaptation of Bacillus subtilis
Communications Biology, 2021 Ramses Gallegos-Monterrosa, Mathilde Nordgaard Christensen, and colleagues investigate how a single or double deletion of the rap-phr genes, parts of peptide-based quorum sensing systems, impacts the sporulation and biofilm formation of B. subtilis under
