Investigation of 222‐nm ultraviolet C irradiation bactericidal effect on the surgical field in a rabbit model

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
In a rabbit surgical field model seeded with polymicrobial flora, a single dose of 222‐nm UV‐C (500 mJ/cm2) markedly reduced bacterial colonies, achieving a bactericidal effect comparable to 254‐nm UV‐C (200 mJ/cm2), while no UV‐C irradiation showed heavy growth. Wound healing did not differ among groups. Microbiota profiling detected SSI‐relevant taxa

Novel applications of shotgun phage display [PDF]

, 2004
In a shotgun phage display library, theoretically, the entire proteome of a bacterium is represented. Phages displaying specific polypeptides can be isolated by affinity selection, while the corresponding gene remains physically linked to the gene ...

Microbial interactions in Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2006
Medical device-associated infections, most frequently caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci, especially Staphylococcus epidermidis, are of increasing importance in modern medicine. The formation of adherent, multilayered bacterial biofilms is the most important factor in the pathogenesis of these infections, which regularly fail to respond to ...

Characterization and parameters for the effectiveness of a UV‐C device for infection control in dental clinics

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Purpose‐built UV‐C device achieves over 90% disinfection of high‐touch dental clinic surfaces. Abstract Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) remain a significant concern in dental settings, especially in light of increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Effects of solar‐simulated (UVB plus UVA) radiation on the skin microbiome: An exploratory study

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This exploratory in vivo study investigated the effects of solar‐simulated ultraviolet radiation (UVB plus UVA) on the human skin microbiome. Healthy male volunteers were exposed to suberythemal and erythemal UV doses, and skin microbiota were analyzed at multiple time points using flow cytometry‐based profiling and the open‐access bioinformatic ...

Comprehensive genomic landscape of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis

mSystems
Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common commensal bacterium found on human skin, can cause infections in clinical settings, and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) impedes the treatment of S. epidermidis infections.

Molecular basis of Staphylococcus epidermidis infections [PDF]

Seminars in Immunopathology, 2011
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most important member of the coagulase-negative staphylococci and one of the most abundant colonizers of human skin. While for a long time regarded as innocuous, it has been identified as the most frequent cause of device-related infections occurring in the hospital setting and is therefore now recognized as an ...

Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of peri‐implantitis: A European perspective

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implantitis is a plaque‐associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation in the peri‐implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. Over the last 30 years, peri‐implantitis has become a major disease burden in dentistry.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 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.
