Antibiotic resistance, defined as the ability of a bacteria to survive an antibiotic drug to which it was initially sensitive, has become increasingly worrying. While the discovery of antibiotics is considered to be one of the most important of all biomedi ...
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 ...
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 ...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an important health issue around the world. The consequences of HAIs incidence include prolonged hospital stays, increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials, higher costs for health systems and for t ...
Objectives: The management of bloodstream infection, a life-threatening disease, largely relies on early detection of infecting microorganisms and accurate determination of their antibiotic susceptibility to reduce both mortality and morbidity. Recently we ...
Occurrence and bioaccumulation of 20 antibiotics, including fluoroquinolones (FQs), sulfonamids (SAs), macrolids (MLs), tetracyclins (TCs),diaminopyrimidins (DPs) and nitro-imidazols (NIs) in an amphipod crustacean (Gammarus pulex) inhabiting in the small ...
The increasing threat of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains against conventional antibiotic therapies represents a significant worldwide health risk and intensifies the need for novel antibacterial treatments. In this work, an effective strategy to targ ...
We present here a technological platform for engineering Au nanotopographies by templated electrodeposition for antibacterial surfaces. Three different types of nanostructures were fabricated: nanopillars, nanorings and nanonuggets. The nanopillars are the ...
In this study, silver/copper (Ag/Cu)-coated catheters were investigated for their efficacy in preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in vitro and in vivo. Ag and Cu were sputtered (67/33% atomic ratio) on polyurethane cathe ...
This study focused on the removal of antibiotic by coupling of heterogeneous photocatalysis with ozonation and hydrogen peroxide. The main objective was to intensify the efficiency of photocatalytic activity for better and faster antibiotic elimination/min ...
