Molecular characterization of hypermucoviscous carbapenemase‐encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from an Egyptian hospital

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1535, Issue 1, Page 109-120, May 2024.
Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from urine specimens and their identity was confirmed via MOLDI‐TOF. Among 38 previously confirmed carbapenem‐non‐susceptible isolates, three of them demonstrated hypermucoviscosity via a positive string test. The three isolates underwent further phenotypic and genotypic tests.

Molecular Adhesion of a Pilus‐Derived Peptide Involved in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Formation on Non‐Polar ZnO‐Surfaces

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 30, Issue 4, January 16, 2024.
PAK(128–144)‐peptide adsorption revealed high affinity towards etched single‐crystalline ZnO(11 0) surfaces with adhesion forces ranging up to 600 pN, measured by Single‐Molecule Force Spectroscopy (SMFS). With the application of the Bell‐Evans theory and complementary peptide adsorption studies, we decipher possible adhesion mechanisms to originate ...
