The Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection Controls [PDF]

Journal Review of Bioinformatics and Biometrics (RBB) 2(4), pp.83-87 (2013), 2013
Multi-resistant organisms (MROs), the bacteria that are resistant to a number of different antibiotics, have been very popular around the world in recent years. They are very difficult to treat but highly infectious in humans. MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) is one of the MROs.

Acanthamoeba castellanii Can Facilitate Plasmid Transfer Between Environmental Pseudomonas spp

Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The conditions in which antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes are transferred in natural environments are poorly understood. Acanthamoeba castellanii (a cosmopolitan environmental amoeba) feeds on bacteria by phagocytosis, which places the consumed bacteria closely together in a food vacuole (phagosome) of the amoeba.

Electrospun Nanofiber Platforms for Photodynamic Therapy: Role and Efficacy in Cancer, Antimicrobial, and Wound Healing Applications

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Electrospun nanofibers provide a unique platform for photosensitizers, due to their large surface area and biocompatibility, improving both loading efficiency and controlled release. The photosensitizer‐modified nanofibers are activated upon light exposure, and produce reactive oxygen species to treat cancer, pathogen infections, and wounds.

Automatic detection of surgical site infections from a clinical data warehouse [PDF]

TALMED 2019, Aug 2019, Lyon, France, 2019
Reducing the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) is one of the objectives of the French nosocomial infection control program. Manual monitoring of SSIs is carried out each year by the hospital hygiene team and surgeons at the University Hospital of Bordeaux. Our goal was to develop an automatic detection algorithm based on hospital information
