Motorized DNAzymes Drive Enhanced Electrochemical Biosensing for Rapid Bacterial Detection

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 6, 24 March 2026.
The micromotor DNAzyme analyzer (Motolyzer) enables sensitive electrochemical detection of Legionella pneumophila proteins in unprocessed samples with high specificity. Upon target recognition, DNAzymes actively release redox barcodes, which are detected on DNA‐functionalized electrodes.

Cost–benefit analysis and ‘next best’ methods to evaluate the efficiency of social policies: As in pitching horseshoes, closeness matters

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 17-41, March 2026.
Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

How Does Biological Sex Impact Mucosal Bacterial Infection? Mucosal Defenses and Bacterial Detection

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections possess substantial sex disparities in the incidence, immune response, and progression of infection. Some of these distinctions may be due to sexual dimorphism in mucosal barriers or sex differences in the initial immune response to infection.

Diagnostic testing for Legionnaires’ disease

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2017
Legionnaires’ disease is commonly diagnosed clinically using a urinary antigen test. The urinary antigen test is highly accurate for L. pneumophila serogroup 1, however other diagnostic tests should also be utilized in conjunction with the urinary ...

A Survey of SIR‐Based Differential Epidemic Models for Control and Security Against Malware Propagation in Computer Networks

SECURITY AND PRIVACY, Volume 9, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Unarguably, malware and their variants have metamorphosed into objects of attack and cyber warfare. These issues have directed research focus to modeling infrastructural settings and infection scenarios, analyzing propagation mechanisms, and conducting studies that highlight optimized remedial measures.

Microbial and Chemical Drivers of Indoor Air Quality in Educational Environments

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) in educational facilities is shaped by a dynamic interplay of microbial, chemical and physical factors, all of which influence health and cognitive performance. This study explored IAQ in university classrooms by combining microbiological, chemical and physical measurements to better understand microbial–chemical interactions ...

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

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 52, December 29, 2025.
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

Nosocomial Legionnaires’ Disease: Clinical and Radiographic Patterns

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1992
From 1981 to 1991, 55 patients (33 males, 22 females, mean age 58.6 years) with nosocomial Legionnaires’ disease were studied. The mortality rate was 64%. One-half of the patients developed nosocomial Legionnaires’ disease within three weeks of admission.

Development and Validation of a High‐Throughput Screening Assay for the Legionella ADP‐Ribosyl Transferase SdeA

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 21, November 8, 2025.
We show the optimization and application of a fluorogenic assay to monitor Legionella SdeA activity in a High‐Throughput‐Screening campaign. Ubiquitination of proteins is one of the most crucial post‐translational modifications in eukaryotic cells, typically involving conjugation of ubiquitin to a lysine residue in a substrate using a three‐enzyme ...
