Stability of influenza A virus in droplets and aerosols is heightened by the presence of commensal respiratory bacteria

Athanasios Nenes, Tamar Kohn, Kalliopi Violaki, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David, Walter Hugentobler, Htet Kyi Wynn, Céline Terrettaz, Laura José Costa Henriques, Daniel Scott Nolan, Marta Augugliaro

Aerosol transmission remains a major challenge for control of respiratory viruses, particularly those causing recurrent epidemics, like influenza A virus (IAV). These viruses are rarely expelled alone, but instead are embedded in a consortium of microorgan ...

Using Negative Control Populations to Assess Unmeasured Confounding and Direct Effects

Mats Julius Stensrud

Sometimes treatment effects are absent in a subgroup of the population. For example, penicillin has no effect on severe symptoms in individuals infected by resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and codeine has no effect on pain in individuals with certain polym ...

Electrospun zein incorporating phycocyanin and Spirulina extract: Fabrication, characterization, and potential application

Niloufar Sharif

Electrospinning was used to develop zein fibers containing phycocyanin and aqueous-ethanolic extract of Spirulina (AEES) for elucidating the potent packaging properties of phycocyanin and AEES on walnut samples. Morphological results revealed that using th ...

Environment rather than breed or body site shapes the skin bacterial community of healthy sheep as revealed by metabarcoding

Christof Holliger, Alexander Mathis, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Laetitia Janine Andrée Cardona

Background: The skin is inhabited by a variety of micro-organisms, with bacteria representing the predominant taxon of the skin microbiome. In sheep, the skin bacterial community of healthy animals has been addressed in few studies, only with culture-based ...

Photodynamic treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection using indium phosphide quantum dots

Francesco Stellacci, Inyoung Yonah Lee

Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose an impending threat to humanity, as the evolution of MDR bacteria outpaces the development of effective antibiotics. In this work, we use indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) to treat infect ...

Fabrication and characterization of cuminaldehyde-loaded electrospun gliadin fiber mats

Niloufar Sharif

This work's objective was to develop a novel type of gliadin electrospun fiber with antibacterial properties by incorporating cuminaldehyde in the fibrous structure. Gliadin fibers containing various concentrations of cuminaldehyde were fabricated via an e ...

In-vitro and in-silico characterization of zein fiber incorporating cuminaldehyde

Niloufar Sharif

The zein solutions containing different concentrations of cuminaldehyde (5%, 10%, and 20%, w/w) were electrospun. The morphology and average diameter of fibers were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and the optimized fiber (20% cuminaldehyde) was c ...

Computational design of anti-CRISPR proteins with improved inhibition potency

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Zander Harteveld, Andreas Scheck, Wei Sun, Stéphane Rosset, Julius Valten Upmeier Zu Belzen, Yujia Wang

Anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins are powerful tools to control CRISPR-Cas technologies. However, the available Acr repertoire is limited to naturally occurring variants. Here, we applied structure-based design on AcrIIC1, a broad-spectrum CRISPR-Cas9 inhibitor, ...

Recent advances on sputtered films with Cu in ppm concentrations leading to an acceleration of the bacterial inactivation

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This review focuses on the acceleration of the bactericidal and fungicidal effects by uniform, adhesive Cu-based nanocomposites on textile and thin polymer surfaces. The acceleration of the bacterial inactivation kinetics mediated by Cu, TiO2/Cu and ZrO2-T ...
