Bacteria, similar to most organisms, have a love–hate relationship with metals: a specific
metal may be essential for survival yet toxic in certain forms and concentrations. Metal ions …

The widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of drug-resistant
populations of microorganisms. Clearly, one can see the need to develop new, more …

The development of carbon‐monoxide‐releasing molecules (CORMs) as pharmaceutical
agents represents an attractive and safer alternative to administration of gaseous CO. Most …

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important gaseous signaling molecule. The use of CO‐
releasing molecules such as metal carbonyls enables the elucidation of the pleiotropic …

Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CORMs), mostly metal carbonyl compounds,
are extensively used as experimental tools to deliver CO, a biological 'gasotransmitter', in …

Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are three
endogenously produced gases with important functions in the vasculature, immune defense …

Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CORMs) are used to deliver CO, a biological
'gasotransmitter', in biological chemistry and biomedicine. CORMs kill bacteria in culture and …

Ruthenium is seldom mentioned in microbiology texts, due to the fact that this metal has no
known, essential roles in biological systems, nor is it generally considered toxic. Since the …

The possibility of a" post-antibiotic era" in the 21st century, in which common infections may
kill, has prompted research into radically new antimicrobials. CO-releasing molecules …

[Mn (CO) 3 (tpa-κ3N)] Br was prepared as a novel photoactivatable CO-releasing molecule
(PhotoCORM) from [MnBr (CO) 5] and tris (2-pyridylmethyl) amine (tpa) for the delivery of …
