A smart hydrogel for on-demand delivery of antibiotics and efficient eradication of biofilms

Jingjing Hu et al.

Summary: A smart hydrogel was developed to treat biofilm-associated infections by releasing pectinase and aminoglycoside antibiotics upon bacterial infection, effectively degrading polysaccharides and sensitizing bacteria to antibiotics, ultimately eradicating biofilms and killing embedded bacteria.

Biofilm formation in the lung contributes to virulence and drug tolerance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Poushali Chakraborty et al.

Summary: Tuberculosis exhibits biofilm-like characteristics such as immune system evasion and drug tolerance, with Mycobacterium tuberculosis forming cellulose-containing biofilms both in vitro and in vivo. Disabling biofilm formation reduces Mtb survival in mice, while cellulase treatment enhances drug activity, highlighting the clinical relevance of Mtb biofilms in tuberculosis.

Computationally designed pyocyanin demethylase acts synergistically with tobramycin to kill recalcitrant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

Chelsey M. VanDrisse et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that by engineering the structure of PodA protein and combining it with tobramycin, the killing effect on P. aeruginosa can be enhanced, especially on biofilms that are resistant to conventional antibiotic treatment.

A pulsatile release platform based on photo-induced imine-crosslinking hydrogel promotes scarless wound healing

Jian Zhang et al.

Summary: Effective healing of skin wounds is crucial for survival, but scar formation is a complex process. Inhibiting TGF beta signaling can reduce scar formation, yet systemic inhibition of TGF beta may have significant side effects.
