Durable Bio‐Based Nanocomposite Coating on Urinary Catheters Prevents Early‐Stage CAUTI‐Associated Pathogenicity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 13, July 14, 2025.
A stable bio‐based nanocomposite coating for urinary catheters is developed using a simple, environmentally‐friendly sonochemical process. The coating, integrating antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties, effectively tackled multiple early‐stage pathogenic factors associated with catheter‐associated urinary tract infections.

Quorum quenching: Signal jamming in dental plaque biofilms

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2016
Quorum sensing helps bacteria to communicate with each other and in coordinating their behavior. Many diseases of humans, plants, and animals are mediated by communication called quorum sensing. Various approaches are being investigated to inhibit this communication to control the diseases caused by bacteria.

Marangoni Flow‐Driven Angular Self‐Assembly of Cellulose Nanocrystals: The Tale of Tilted Tactoids and Folded Domains

Small Methods, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 19, 2025.
Cellulose nanocrystals spontaneously self‐assemble into cholesteric structures through a new pathway using angular deposition. This work explores the film formation dynamics and chiroptical properties emerging due to tilted and folded domains, due to Capillary and Marangoni flows.

The flavonoid-sensing regulator AefR is involved in modulating quorum sensing through repressing the MexEF-OprN efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens

mSystems
Flavonoids, a major component of plant root exudates, play a crucial role in mediating plant-microbe interactions. However, the mechanisms by which flavonoids are perceived and trigger downstream signaling events in microbes remain largely unknown.
