Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases

An Off‐the‐Shelf Artificial Blood Clot Hydrogel Neutralizing Multiple Proinflammatory Mediators for Pro‐Regenerative Periodontitis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel is engineered to structurally and functionally mimic the blood clot by integrating PPR, CCS, and RSF nanofibers through in situ activation of PRP. In a rat periodontitis model, CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel effectively promotes periodontal tissue repair, attributing to neutralizing the multiple proinflammatory mediators, thus rebuilding a ...

Comparison between olanexidine gluconate and conventional antiseptics for surgical site infection in gastroenterological surgery: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis compared olanexidine gluconate (OLG) with conventional antiseptics on surgical site infections (SSIs) in gastroenterological surgery. OLG significantly reduced overall SSIs without statistical heterogeneity. Abstract Aim To compare the preventative effect of the new antiseptic olanexidine gluconate (OLG) with conventional antiseptics

Electrochemical Catheter Hub Operated by a Wearable Micropotentiostat Prevents Acinetobacter baumannii Infection In Vitro

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intraluminal infection of central venous catheters, used for long‐term treatment, can result in central line‐associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). These infections can be challenging to prevent and treat due to formation of biofilms within catheter lumens, which shield bacteria from the human immune response and conventional antimicrobial
