Quantitative Insights Into β-Lactamase Inhibitor's Contribution in the Treatment of Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms With β-Lactams

Yanfang Feng et al.

Summary: Beta-lactamase inhibition and restoration of beta-lactam susceptibility in carbapenemase-producing organisms are positively correlated and depend on the specific carbapenemase molecular identity. It is crucial to use quantitative tools to guide the choice and dosing of beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor treatments, and utilize rapid molecular diagnostics to prevent ineffective treatment due to resistance mechanisms beyond beta-lactamase.

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Inactivation Using Topical and Superhydrophobic Sensitizer Techniques: A Perspective from Diffusion in Biofilms†

Caroline Coradi Tonon et al.

Summary: This review discusses the diffusion of nanoparticles and dyes in bacterial biofilms in the context of antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI). It highlights the importance of molecular diffusion in biofilms for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) necessary to inactivate microbes in aPDI. Additionally, it suggests a logical connection between diffusion in biofilms and the current state of aPDI and superhydrophobic aPDI (SH-aPDI), which could be of interest to researchers in various scientific fields.
