A CAPSULATE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1969
Summary A capsulate staphylococcus designated strain M is described. Apart from the presence of a capsule, this strain has most of the biological properties of typical strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Strain M differs from modal strains of S. aureus in its colonial morphology, resistance to bacteriophage, greater virulence for mice and failure to ...

Joule‐Assisted Nanotherapeutic Urethral Stent (JANUS) for Spatiotemporal Theragenerative Treatment of Urethral Strictures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Joule‐assisted nanotherapeutic urethral stent harnesses a smart, biodegradable magnesium stent to orchestrate spatiotemporal theragenerative therapy for urethral strictures. Magnetically induced Joule heating enables on‐demand drug release and bacterial ablation, while simultaneously guiding urothelial regeneration.

Ultra‐Effective Light‐Activated Antibacterial Activity via Carboxyl Functionalized Graphene Quantum Dots and Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Carboxyl‐functionalized graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) exhibit high singlet oxygen quantum yield due to strong spin–orbit coupling. cGQDs achieve minimum bactericidal concentration of only 0.4 µg mL−1 against S. aureus under low‐intensity illumination.

Do CVD grown graphene films have antibacterial activity on metallic substrates? [PDF]

Carbon 84 (2015) 310-316, 2014
Accurate assessment of the antibacterial activity of graphene requires consideration of both the graphene fabrication method and, for supported films, the properties of the substrate. Large-area graphene films produced by chemical vapor deposition were grown directly on copper substrates or transferred on a gold substrate and their effect on the ...
