Hui Wen et al.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with cationic photosensitizers has shown great potential in highly efficient antimicrobial treatment. The study successfully designed and prepared a cationic 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4adiaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) photosensitizer (BDPI-TPP) that can adhere to the surface of bacteria and exert potent antibacterial effects through both positive charges and photodynamic activity. Furthermore, the BDPI-TPP nanoparticles (BDPI-TPP NPs) can also damage preformed biofilms and promote wound healing.

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.
