Surface-Charge-Switchable and Size-Transformable Thermosensitive Nanocomposites for Chemo-Photothermal Eradication of Bacterial Biofilms in Vitro and in Vivo

Meihui Yin et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel gold-nanorod-based chemo-photothermal-integrated antimicrobial platform was developed, which exhibited surface-charge-switchable and near-infrared-induced size-transformable activities. This platform showed enhanced killing efficiency against multidrug-resistant bacteria and their biofilms, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.

Bacterial biofilms predominate in both acute and chronic human lung infections

Mette Kolpen et al.

Summary: This study found that both acute and chronic lung infections are dominated by biofilms, and bacteria grew faster in sputum from acute infections, but these fast-growing bacteria were also enriched in biofilms similar to chronic infections. Cellular inflammation in the lungs was similar across patient groups, but systemic inflammatory markers were only elevated in acute infections.

Jia-Hua Gong et al.

Summary: This study reports the preparation of Zn2GeO4:Cu2+ persistent luminescence nanorods and their application in treating MRSA-infected wounds. ZGC shows a long-persistent photocatalytic effect, continuously producing multiple ROS without the need for in situ excitation. ZGC@MNs patches exhibit excellent antibacterial activity and biocompatibility for promoting wound healing.

Synthesis and Bioactivity of Guanidinium-Functionalized Pillar[5]arene as a Biofilm Disruptor

Shuwen Guo et al.

Summary: A novel guanidinium-functionalized pillar[5]arene, GP5, was designed and synthesized to effectively combat bacterial biofilms. GP5 showed high antibacterial potency against Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains and successfully disrupted preformed biofilms by penetrating biofilm barriers and destroying biofilm-enclosed bacteria. Additionally, host-guest complexation between GP5 and cefazolin sodium exhibited synergistic disruption activity against biofilms, providing a novel supramolecular platform for biofilm eradication.

Cationic Glycopolymers with Aggregation-Induced Emission for the Killing, Imaging, and Detection of Bacteria

Die Li et al.

Summary: Cationic glycopolymers with similar structures to typical poly(ionic liquids) were synthesized via quaternization reaction and showed aggregation-induced emission effect and specific carbohydrate-protein recognition. These polymers interacted with different microorganisms for killing, imaging, and bacteria detection. Due to the presence of sugar units, these sugar-containing polymers exhibited relatively low hemolysis rate, making them potentially useful in the field of biomaterials.

Dynamic Constitutional Frameworks as Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Agents

Andrei Diaconu et al.

Summary: Dynamic constitutional frameworks (DCFs) composed of trialdehyde core, diamine PEG connector, and various neutral, anionic, or cationic heads demonstrated effective biofilm inhibition or disruption. Among them, polycationic DCFs showed the best antibiofilm activity, with the nature of cationic heads playing a significant role. DCF3B exhibited the best antibiofilm activity, while DCF3C, with a guanidinium functional head, was superior in inhibiting biofilm growth in an advanced in vitro biofilm model of chronic wound infection.

Peptidomimetic Polyurethanes Inhibit Bacterial Biofilm Formation and Disrupt Surface Established Biofilms

Apoorva Vishwakarma et al.

Summary: Over 80% of chronic bacterial infections in humans are linked to biofilms, which provide significant resistance to antibiotics and host immune responses. Water-soluble synthetic peptidomimetic polyurethanes have shown potential in disrupting established biofilms and inhibiting biofilm formation without toxicity to mammalian cells.

Role of bacterial motility in differential resistance mechanisms of silver nanoparticles and silver ions

Lisa M. Stabryla et al.

Summary: Bacterial motility can be a significant predictor of AgNP resistance, guiding the development of nanoenabled antimicrobials. The study of bacterial resistance to AgNPs is still in its early stages, with limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The resistance to subinhibitory concentrations of AgNPs in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 strain was found to be associated with a cusS mutation, potentially enhancing silver ion efflux and suggesting a role for flagellum-based motility in the resistance mechanism.
