Ternary Thermosensitive Hydrogel‐Encapsulated Macrolactam Heneicosapeptide Eliminates Epidermal Multidrug‐Resistant Bi‐Microbial Colonization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The co‐existence of Gram‐negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus superbugs in open wounds exacerbates the difficulty of rational treatments. This study develops a hydrogel comprised of poloxamer, hyaluronic acid, and a de novo designed antimicrobial cyclic peptide.

Detection of virulence factors of Uropathoigenic Escherichia coli isolates from infertile women high vaginal swabs

Iranian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
Objectives: The uropathogenic Escherichia coli as a most common cause of urinary tract infections can transmit to the reproductive system. Their various virulence factors cause adhesion, invasion and damage to reproductive epithelium.

Ultra‐Effective Light‐Activated Antibacterial Activity via Carboxyl Functionalized Graphene Quantum Dots and Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Carboxyl‐functionalized graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) exhibit high singlet oxygen quantum yield due to strong spin–orbit coupling. cGQDs achieve minimum bactericidal concentration of only 0.4 µg mL−1 against S. aureus under low‐intensity illumination.

A Novel Approach on Dielectric Barrier Discharge using Printed Circuit Boards [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Drug resistant bacteria, prions and nosocomial infections underline the need of more effective sterilizing technologies. The cold plasma technology is expected to bring a benefit in this context. Six different plasma sources, based on printed circuit boards, were evaluated fourfold.

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Genotyping and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli O157 originating from cattle farms [PDF]

, 2011
During a Escherichia coli O157 prevalence study on cattle farms, 324 E. coli O157 isolates were collected from 68 out of 180 cattle farms. All isolates harbored the eaeA gene and the enterohemolysin (ehxA) gene. The majority of the strains only contained
