Diversity, transfer potential, and transcriptional activity of virus‐carried antibiotic resistance genes in global estuaries

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Achieving superior therapeutic effects on methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection via simple sulfonation process for preparing zwitterionic photosensitizer

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The sulfonated zwitterionic photosensitizer (PYSO3) is synthesized by reacting maleic anhydride derivatives with 4‐aminopyridine to form PY, followed by sulfonation with 1,4‐butane sultone. It exhibits both photothermal and photodynamic properties, enabling effective eradication of MRSA and biofilms, as well as promoting wound healing in mice ...
