How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Characterization of methicillin-susceptible and -resistant staphylococci in the clinical setting: a multicentre study in Nigeria

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background The staphylococci are implicated in a variety of human infections; however, many clinical microbiology laboratories in Nigeria do not identify staphylococci (in particular coagulase negative staphylococci - CNS) to the species level. Moreover,

3D‐Printable, Biodegradable, and Conductive/Piezoionic Hydrogel ‘E‐Skin’ With Robust Antibacterial Properties for Wound Healing and Wireless Human‐Machine Interface Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional MXene‐integrated GelMA/alginate hydrogel reinforced with TEMPO‐modified nanocellulose is engineered via dynamic covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonding. The resulting piezoelectric, adhesive, antimicrobial, and 3D‐printable patch enables motion sensing and accelerates wound healing by promoting keratinocyte migration and collagen ...

Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci in Nostrils and Buccal Mucosa of Healthy Camels Used for Recreational Purposes [PDF]

, 2022
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Animal-associated staphylococci have been isolated in human infections. Therefore, these strains may pose a zoonotic risk in addition to constituting a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance genes.

Development of Multifunctional Hierarchically Restructured Antibacterial Neural Interfacing Electrodes via Plasma‐Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of Zinc Oxide Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation implantable neural‐interfacing devices are increasingly constrained by the coupled demands of electrode miniaturization, electrochemical performance, and implantation infection risk. Femtosecond laser–based hierarchical surface restructuring (HSR) technology has emerged as a scalable, manufacturing‐compatible platform for ...

Coagulase-negative staphylococci in bovine sub-clinical mastitis [PDF]

, 2008
Mastitis is a common disease in dairy cows. The majority of the cases are sub-clinical, and many of those are due to infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). CNS is a heterogeneous group of bacteria consisting of a large number of different

Survival of Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in the human nose after artificial inoculation. [PDF]

, 2012
There is evidence that MRSA ST398 of animal origin is only capable of temporarily occupying the human nose, and it is therefore, often considered a poor human colonizer.We inoculated 16 healthy human volunteers with a mixture of the human MSSA strain ...
