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

Characterization of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis
Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium 180, a clinical isolate from England, was studied. Resistance to vancomycin was transferable by conjugation to other enterococci. Expression of resistance was inducible and coincided with the appearance of a new membrane protein.

A Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecalis
Among enterococci, Enterococcus faecalis occurs ubiquitously, with the highest incidence of human and animal infections. The high genetic plasticity of E. faecalis complicates both molecular investigations and phylogenetic analyses.

Supersulfide biology and translational medicine for disease control
Abstract For decades, the major focus of redox biology has been oxygen, the most abundant element on Earth. Molecular oxygen functions as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to energy production in aerobic organisms. In addition, oxygen‐derived reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen

Sugar Functionalized Collagen Material for Local Modulation of Innate Immunity
Modulation of the innate immune response at the implant site can significantly influence adaptive immunity. A mannose‐functionalized collagen patch, termed the Local Immunotuning Patch (LIP), has been designed to engage mannose receptors on antigen‐presenting cells while exhibiting antibacterial properties. LIP orchestrates complex immune pathways that
