Duality in the Escherichia coli and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus reduction mechanism under actinic light on innovative co-sputtered surfaces

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Danièle Laub, Sami Rtimi, Rosendo Sanjines, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

The kinetics of bacterial reduction of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on co-sputtered TiO2/Cu-polyester (TiO2/Cu-PES) was found to be little dependent on the applied light dose. But in the case of Escherichia coil, the bacterial reduction kinetics was observ ...

Rapid detection of bacterial resistance to antibiotics using AFM cantilevers as nanomechanical sensors

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Laura Rio Marques, Justin Terence Notz Pekkanen

The widespread misuse of drugs has increased the number of multiresistant bacteria1, and this means that tools that can rapidly detect and characterize bacterial response to antibiotics are much needed in the management of infections. Various techniques, s ...

Comparison of Methods for Evaluation of the Bactericidal Activity of Copper-Sputtered Surfaces against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi

Bacteria can survive on hospital textiles and surfaces, from which they can be disseminated, representing a source of health care-associated infections (HCAIs). Surfaces containing copper (Cu), which is known for its bactericidal properties, could be an ef ...

Sigma Factor F does not Prevent Rifampin Inhibition of RNA Polymerase or Cause Rifampin Tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Jeffrey Chen, Sophie Magnet

The tolerance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to anti-tuberculosis drugs is a major reason for the lengthy therapy needed to treat a tuberculosis infection. Rifampin is a potent inhibitor of RNA polymerase (RNAP) in vivo, but has been shown to be less effect ...

Genetic ablation of Drosophila phagocytes reveals their contribution to both development and resistance to bacterial infection

Bruno Lemaitre

Drosophila phagocytes participate in development and immune responses through their abilities to perform phagocytosis and/or secrete extra-cellular matrix components, antimicrobial peptides, clotting factors and signalling molecules. However, our knowledge ...
