Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Insights into the Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB) Mechanism of Action on Bacterial Membrane and DNA: A Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020
Abstract Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a cationic polymer with antimicrobial and antiviral properties. It has been commonly accepted that the antimicrobial activity is due the ability of PHMB to perforate the bacterial phospholipid membrane leading ultimately to its death.

Lipase Stability in Structured Lipid Synthesis: The Interplay of Substrate Characteristics and Strategies to Improve Its Operational Performance—A Critical Review

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Structured lipids (SLs) have attracted growing industrial interest due to their associated health benefits. Lipases, as highly selective and versatile biocatalysts, are central to the sustainable synthesis of SLs attributed to their ability to operate under mild reaction conditions. However, the limited operational stability of lipases remains

S1 Guideline on Infected Interdigital Intertrigo (also called Gram‐Negative Toe Web Infection)

open access: yesJDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 832-843, June 2026.
Summary Infected interdigital intertrigo is an exudative, macerating, mixed infection of the toe webs in which gram‐negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacterales) seem prevalent, but in which gram‐positive pathogens (Staphylococcus [S.] aureus, streptococci, enterococci) and fungi (dermatophytes, yeasts) also occur.
