Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.In this study, a novel cationic peptide, IW is designed and synthesized, with a tandem‐repeat sequence demonstrating potent activities against a broad spectrum of clinically relevant Carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae in both the planktonic and biofilm states. IW is then formulated with P407 to form IW‐P407 colloids.

Cell-Wall Recycling of the Gram-Negative Bacteria and the Nexus to Antibiotic Resistance.
Chemical Reviews, 2018 The importance of the cell wall to the viability of the bacterium is underscored by the breadth of antibiotic structures that act by blocking key enzymes that are tasked with cell-wall creation, preservation, and regulation.

Peptide Display Directed Assembly of Biopolymer Core–Silica Shell Particles
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Bacterial cells are engineered to produce biopolyester particles displaying peptides mediating growth of silica. Peptide‐coated biopolyester particles are treated with silica precursors and silica shell formation is studied. Transmission electron microscopy shows silica‐coated BPs which are formed after the silicification treatment. Characterization of

Lipopolysaccharide modification in Gram-negative bacteria during chronic infection.
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2016 The Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane that plays a key role in host-pathogen interactions with the innate immune system.

Safety Evaluation of Repeated Application of Polymeric Microarray Patches in Miniature Pigs
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the safety of repeated application of three types of microarray patches (MAPs), hydrogelforming, dissolving, and implantable, over four weeks in miniature pigs. No adverse skin or systemic effects were observed, supporting the clinical potential of MAPs as safe and effective drug delivery platforms.
