Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention and Feedback to Infectious Disease Specialists: A Case Study in High-Dose Daptomycin

Antibiotics, 2015
Infectious Diseases specialists have used high-dose daptomycin (≥6 mg/kg/day) in select patients with difficult to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infections to optimize outcomes ...

Daptomycin treatment impacts resistance in off-target populations of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

PLoS Biology, 2020
The antimicrobial resistance crisis has persisted despite broad attempts at intervention. It has been proposed that an important driver of resistance is selection imposed on bacterial populations that are not the intended target of antimicrobial therapy.

Perioperative Prophylaxis in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation: A Baseline Stewardship Audit Using Routine Electronic Data

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Using routine electronic data from 164 pediatric transplants, we created reproducible stewardship measures of perioperative prophylaxis practice across transplant populations and protocol pathways. Starting prophylaxis was reliable, but continuation beyond intended stop targets—especially in abdominal transplantation—identified the clearest target for ...

Early Onset Bacteremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients in the Current Era

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infection (BSI) after kidney transplantation increases the risk of graft loss and mortality. We aimed to identify contemporary risk factors and outcomes of early BSI (eBSI) at our transplant center. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from 2019 to 2023.

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.

Assessing Vancomycin‐Formyl Peptide Conjugate Binding to the Surface of Resistant Staphylococcus aureus via Flow Cytometry

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
A flow cytometry technique was developed to measure the binding of vancomycin‐formyl peptide conjugates to the surface of resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Binding results indicate that the labelling site of the vancomycin targeting element has a major effect on binding to the bacterial cell wall, which correlates with reduced antibiotic activity ...

Chemical Optimization of Temporin A–L Peptides: From Native Isoforms to Enhanced Antimicrobial Analogs

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Temporins, among antimicrobial peptides, are short frog‐derived molecules with potent antibacterial activity. This review highlights chemical optimization strategies applied to temporins A–L, showing how sequence tuning modulates structure, stability, and selectivity, enabling improved activity against resistant pathogens.

In vitro persistence of clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bone and joint infections after exposure to daptomycin, telavancin, and vancomycin

Microbiology Spectrum
Bacterial persistence is linked to chronic infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Understanding the persister profiles of daptomycin, telavancin, and vancomycin is crucial because MRSA bone and joint infections (BJIs ...
