Bacterial anti-adhesion surface design: Surface patterning, roughness and wettability: A review

Kun Yang et al.

Summary: Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation pose significant challenges to the medical system and food safety. Anti-adhesion surface designs have been developed to reduce bacterial attachment, with modifications in surface pattern and roughness showing effectiveness in minimizing contact area and weakening initial adhesion forces.

Bio-Inspired Nanostructured Ti-6Al-4V Alloy: The Role of Two Alkaline Etchants and the Hydrothermal Processing Duration on Antibacterial Activity

Richard Bright et al.

Summary: Inspired by natural topography on insect wings, researchers explored replicating these nanostructures on biomaterials to reduce implant-associated infections. They discovered that hydrothermal etching can create nanoscale protrusions on titanium surfaces, with different etching times and cation choices affecting the bactericidal properties. The study suggests that bactericidal titanium surfaces can be optimized for specific pathogens.

Fluid Flow Induces Differential Detachment of Live and Dead Bacterial Cells from Nanostructured Surfaces

S. W. M. A. Ishantha Senevirathne et al.

Summary: Nanotopographic surfaces have been proven to effectively kill bacterial cells upon contact, providing an alternative method to fight against bacterial colonization and resistance. This study investigates how fluid flow affects bacterial cell adherence on nanotopographic surfaces, revealing that increasing flow rates significantly reduce the number of live cells, while increasing the number of dead cells adhering to the surface.

Antibacterial activity of 3D versus 2D TiO2 nanostructured surfaces to investigate curvature and orientation effects

Alka Jaggessar et al.

Summary: Nanostructured surfaces have been proven effective in alleviating problems caused by bacterial biofilms. However, previous studies mainly focused on 2D surfaces, not reflecting the real-world curved and randomly oriented surfaces. This study shows that 3D surfaces fabricated using hydrothermal synthesis are more efficient at resisting bacterial adhesion and killing bacteria compared to 2D surfaces.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall maintenance - the multifaceted roles of peptidoglycan hydrolases in bacterial growth, fitness, and virulence

Min Wang et al.

Summary: This review highlights the roles of peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs) in Staphylococcus aureus in bacterial growth and division, cell wall maintenance, protein localization, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial susceptibility. Our understanding of the functions of these enzymes has greatly improved in recent years, providing new possibilities for the development of next-generation antimicrobials and immunization strategies.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall structure and dynamics during host-pathogen interaction

Joshua A. F. Sutton et al.

Summary: Peptidoglycan is a crucial component of Staphylococcus aureus cell wall, and its structure and dynamics during infection are not well understood. By isolating bacteria from active infections, researchers found that thicker cell walls and reduced peptidoglycan crosslinking in ex vivo cells may play a role in disease. Specific proteins involved in peptidoglycan synthesis and degradation, such as PBP4 and SagB, impact the pathogen's fitness and survival within host cells. These findings highlight the importance of understanding cell wall structure and dynamics for pathogenesis and disease control strategies.

Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm: Morphology, Genetics, Pathogenesis and Treatment Strategies

Muhammad Idrees et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus biofilm provides a protective environment for bacterial cells, leading to reduced effectiveness of antibacterial drugs and contributing to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This increased resistance has resulted in higher morbidity and mortality rates globally, as well as significant financial losses to the global economy.
