Breaking Down Barriers: CorA Effectively Targets Staphylococcal Biofilms in Vitro and in Vivo
Corallopyronin A (CorA), a natural alpha‐pyrone antibiotic, penetrates Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and inhibits RNA polymerase. This work demonstrates CorA's superior efficacy compared to rifampicin and dalbavancin in reducing viable loads in biofilms both in vitro and in vivo. Graphic created in https://BioRender.com.

Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]
Bacterial biofilm is a major factor in delayed wound healing and high levels of biofilm production have been repeatedly described in multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs).

Investigating bacteriophages targeting the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is of growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant to last resort as well as front line antibiotic treatments.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lower respiratory tract, commonly caused by infection and associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare utilization. The burden of pneumonia on healthcare is exacerbated by limited data on pathogenic causes and associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we conducted

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.
