Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

The oxacillinase variant, OXA-1152, in Pandoraea sputorum contributes to discrepancies in carbapenem resistance

iScience
Summary: Pandoraea species are emerging multidrug-resistant pathogens with inconsistent carbapenem susceptibility, being resistant to meropenem but susceptible to imipenem, which complicates treatment.

Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Hafnium Nanostructures Fabricated by Physical Vapor Deposition Through a Colloidal Mask

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
We generate hafnium nanostructures by first depositing polystyrene particles of varying diameter followed by physical vapour deposition of hafnium thin films. The resultant structure shows a kill‐on‐contact effect against both Gram‐negative Escherichia coli and Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Performance evaluation of the NG-TEST CARBA 5 and Genobio K.N.I.V.O. detection K-Set lateral flow assays for the detection of carbapenemases

Microbiology Spectrum
Infection with carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Thus, the identification of CPOs is an important function of clinical microbiology laboratories.

Bioelectrical Interfaces Beyond Excitable Cells: Cancer, Aging, and Gene Expression Modulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The investigation of biological conductivity has evolved from its classical foundation based on ionic fluxes underpinning cardiac and neuronal excitability to a multifaceted regulator of cellular physiology. Traditional approaches for probing electrical events in living matter focused largely on action potentials recording.

Pneumocystis jirovecii associated with Lung Virome in patients with severe pneumonia

iScience
Summary: Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) threatens immunocompromised patients, yet its role in the lung microbiome remains unclear. We performed metagenomic sequencing on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from two retrospective cohorts: a multicenter ...

High Humidity Exacerbates Psoriasiform Skin Disease Relapse by Increasing Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cells via Altering Skin Microbiota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that high humidity worsened psoriasis relapse in murine psoriasiform skin inflammation by increasing skin‐resident memory CD8+ cells via upregulating IL‐15Rα on keratinocytes. The increases in IL‐15Rα and memory CD8+ cells were attributed to S. nepalensis and its metabolite ADMA in skin exposed to high humidity.
