Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Antibacterial hydrogel: The sniper of chronic wounds

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The treatment of chronic wounds has always been an important challenge in the medical field. We focus on hydrogels not only because they provide a moist healing environment but also because compared with traditional dressings, they can effectively prevent and treat infections, reduce wound pain and scar formation.

A pH‐responsive charge‐reversal liposome with enhanced biofilm penetration for multimodal synergistic therapy of bacterial infections

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This study develops a pH‐responsive, charge‐reversal liposome for treating bacterial biofilm infections. With enhanced penetration capability, the liposome effectively delivers antibacterial agents into biofilms. By integrating photodynamic and photothermal therapies with antibiotics, it significantly eradicates biofilms and accelerates bacteria ...
