Virulence‐Selective Trap–Capture–Kill Antibacterial Nanostructures With Immune–Metabolic Regulation for Treating Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.
A virulence‐selective antibacterial system based on fascaplysin derivative 14‐modified TiO2 nanostructure (F‐14‐TNA) is developed for treating implant‐associated infections. F‐14‐TNA selectively traps hyperpathogenic bacteria via chemotaxis, captures them electrostatically, and kills them via reactive oxygen species‐mediated pathways.

A Self‐Assembling Peptide with Nanoparticle‐to‐Fibril Transformation Exhibits Multimodal Antimicrobial Activity through Membrane Disruption and Quorum‐Sensing Inhibition

Small, Volume 21, Issue 44, November 6, 2025.
A self‐assembling peptide that transforms from nanoparticles into bacterial‐entrapping nanofibrils and targets multi‐drug‐resistant pathogens through a dual mechanism. It disrupts bacterial membranes and strongly inhibits the quorum‐sensing system, a crucial factor in biofilm formation and virulence.

Recurrent Intracerebral Haematomas Due to Amyloid Angyopathy after Lyodura Transplantation in Childhood

Neurology International
The number of published cases of presumed iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (iCAA) due to the transmission of amyloid β during neurosurgery is slowly rising. One of the potential ways of transmission is through a cadaveric dura mater graft (LYODURA)

Association of virulence genes with mecA gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2015
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is the etiological agent for a wide range of human infections, and its pathogenicity largely depends on various virulence factors associated with adherence, evasion of the immune system and damage of the host.

Microbubble‐Controlled Delivery of Biofilm‐Targeting Nanoparticles to Treat MRSA Infection

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 44, October 29, 2025.
Here, an effective strategy using microbubble (MB)‐controlled delivery of biofilm‐targeting nanoparticles (BTNs) for removal and therapy of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections is introduced. In vivo delivery of MB with BTN is demonstrated to silence key bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation (icaA), bacterial ...
