Self-Sterilizing Sputtered Films for Applications in Hospital Facilities

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis

This review addresses the preparation of antibacterial 2D textile and thin polymer films and 3D surfaces like catheters for applications in hospital and health care facilities. The sputtering of films applying different levels of energy led to the depositi ...

Indoor Light Enhanced Photocatalytic Ultra-Thin Films on Flexible Non-Heat Resistant Substrates Reducing Bacterial Infection Risks

Sami Rtimi

Photocatalytic antibacterial sol-gel coated substrates have been reported to kill bacteria under light or in the dark. These coatings showed non-uniform distribution, poor adhesion to the substrate and short effective lifetime as antibacterial surfaces. Th ...

Rv3852 (H-NS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Not Involved in Nucleoid Compaction and Virulence Regulation

Stewart Cole, Nina Theres Odermatt, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Anthony Vocat, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Andréanne Lupien

A handful of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) regulate the vast majority of genes in a bacterial cell. H-NS, the histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein, is one of these NAPs and protects Escherichia coli from foreign gene expression. Though lacking a ...

Synthesis, structural elucidation and biological activities of organotin(IV) derivatives of 4-(2-thienyl)butyric acid

Paul Joseph Dyson

A series of tri- and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of 4-(2-thienyl)butyric acid have been synthesized by the reaction of ligand acid with tri- and diorganotin salts in 1:1 and 2:1 molar ratios, respectively. The synthesized compounds have been confirmed by C ...

Sirtuin 3 deficiency does not alter host defenses against bacterial and fungal infections

Johan Auwerx, Tytti Heinonen

Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is the main mitochondrial deacetylase. SIRT3 regulates cell metabolism and redox homeostasis, and protects from aging and age-associated pathologies. SIRT3 may drive both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive effects. SIRT3 deficiency has been ...
