Biofilm Lifestyle in Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

Amr S. Abu Lila et al.

Summary: Urinary tract infections are a common health care facility-associated infection, and bacteria can survive hostile environments by forming biofilms which provide protection and increase gene transfer. Understanding the role of biofilm formation in recurrent UTIs and finding strategies to eradicate biofilms are crucial for preventing this growing public health concern.

Best practices in current models mimicking drug permeability in the gastrointestinal tract - An UNGAP review

Joseph P. O'Shea et al.

Summary: This article discusses the complexity of oral drug absorption and the importance of evaluating intestinal permeability. It provides a critique of in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo approaches for assessing drug permeability. Continued improvement and validation of in silico models will enhance early characterization of permeability and facilitate absorption modeling.
