Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

Virulence factors of Streptococcus agalactiae relating to neonatal sepsis
Journal of Medical and Scientific ResearchStreptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) infection is the leading cause of disease in neonates. Infection in the neonate can occur via vertical transmission or ascension through the vaginal tract.

ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016 The article analyzes the influence of infective endocarditis etiology on the clinical course of the disease. The role of Staphylococci as common pathogens is emphasized. Streptococci have faded in importance, though, streptococcal endocarditis is still a

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bioxolography, a novel volumetric 3D‐bioprinting technique, enables rapid and high‐resolution fabrication of >1 cm3 engineered living materials. A newly developed three‐component photoinitiator system significantly enhances the photoreactivity of gelatin methacryloyl‐based bioresins, allowing for precise xolographic bioprinting.

Surface texturing of Ti6Al4V alloy using femtosecond laser for superior antibacterial performance [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Titanium and its alloy are most widely used implant materials in dental and orthopaedic fields. However, infections occurring during implantation leads to implant failure in most of the cases. Here, we have demonstrated antibacterial behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy achieved when surface modified using femtosecond laser beam.

Current Taxonomical Situation of Streptococcus suis
Pathogens, 2016 Streptococcus suis, a major porcine pathogen and an important zoonotic agent, is considered to be composed of phenotypically and genetically diverse strains. However, recent studies reported several “S. suis-like strains” that were identified as S.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Extracellular matrix (ECM) viscoelasticity and spatial confinement regulate cellular processes such as cancer progression, yet their interplay remains poorly understood. By developing fibronectin (FN)‐micropatterned viscoelastic hydrogels mimicking breast cancer mechanics, this study explores breast epithelial cell mechanoresponse to ECM ...

Enhanced Adhesion of S. Mutans to Hydroxyapatite after Inoculation in Saliva [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Streptococcus mutans cells form robust biofilms on human teeth and are strongly related to caries incidents. Hence, understanding the adhesion of S. mutans in the human oral cavity is of major interest for preventive dentistry. In this study, we report on AFM-based single cell force spectroscopy measurements of S.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study explores the structural heterogeneity and evolutionary adaptations of heteromultimeric bacterioferritins. Hetero‐Bfrs, evolved from either a homo‐Bfr or Ftn by gene duplications, differ from homo‐Bfrs substantially in the mechanisms underpinning iron oxidation and reduction despite high similarity in overall structure.
