Altered competitive fitness, antimicrobial susceptibility, and cellular morphology in a triclosan-induced small-colony variant of staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus can produce small-colony variants (SCVs) that express various phenotypes. While their significance is unclear, SCV propagation may be influenced by relative fitness, antimicrobial susceptibility, and the underlying mechanism.

Abstract Purpose Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe corneal infection with potential detrimental effects on visual outcome and quality of life, primarily affecting young contact lens wearers. We report Acanthamoeba genotypes, subtypes and clinical outcome from Danish patients with AK. Methods Thirty‐nine PCR‐positive AK cases diagnosed and treated

Biocide exposure induces changes in susceptibility, pathogenicity and biofilm formation in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are a frequent cause of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Biocides have been incorporated into catheter-coatings to inhibit bacterial colonisation whilst ideally exhibiting low ...

Abordamos la parte más problemática del tratamiento de las heridas crónicas o agudas, de acuerdo con los profesionales especializados es la infección de la herida. La sobrecarga bacteriana puede retardar la curación de la herida y disminuir la calidad del paciente como consecuencia del aumento del dolor, del exudado y del posible mal olor.

Purification, characterization and molecular cloning of the major chitinase from Tenebrio molitor larval midgut [PDF]
Insect chitinases are involved in degradation of chitin from the exoskeleton cuticle or from midgut peritrophic membrane during molts. cDNAs coding for insect cuticular and gut chitinases were cloned, but only chitinases from moulting fluid were purified

Acanthamoeba keratitis is treated with long-term biguanide therapy, and the treatment itself can lead to ocular side effects. Knowledge of possible toxic complications can help in the better titration of the treatment regimen. Here, we describe the toxic side effects of polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), which occurred in three consecutive patients ...

Microorganisms and Common Ophthalmic Diseases [PDF]
The human eye is in constant contact to environmental conditions that increase its likelihood in being exposed to a multitude of pathogens. Studies have revealed that the normal microbial flora found around the ocular area contribute to the well-being of

Smart Nanogels as Enzyme‐Driven Nanomotors for Navigating Viscous Physiological Barriers
Two families of urease‐powered nanomotors (NMs), with and without a p‐(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p‐HEMA) shell, have been successfully prepared. Both types exhibit effective motion in highly viscous synovial fluid media at low urea concentrations (25 mM).
