Bacterial sepsis is a serious clinical condition that can lead to multiple organ dysfunction
and death despite timely treatment with antibiotics and fluid resuscitation. We have …

Antimicrobial resistance is a healthcare problem of increasing significance, and there is
increasing interest in developing new tools to address bacterial infections. Bacteria-targeting …

Magnetic, antimicrobial-carrying nanoparticles provide a promising, new and direly needed
antimicrobial strategy against infectious bacterial biofilms. Penetration and accumulation of …

The ability for silver nanoparticles to function as an antibacterial agent while being
separable from the target fluids is important for bacterial inactivation in biological fluids. This …

Blood culture is traditionally a time-consuming method and has not changed significantly in
several decades. Using nanotechnology, such as the use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) …

The poor penetrability of many biofilms contributes to the recalcitrance of infectious biofilms
to antimicrobial treatment. Here, a new application for the use of magnetic nanoparticles in …

Various types of microfluidic systems have been developed to detect bacterial pathogens.
However, most of these require enrichment steps that take at least several hours when …

Sepsis is a lethal disease caused by a systemic microbial infection that spreads via the
bloodstream to overwhelm the body's defenses. Current therapeutic approaches are often …

Many pathogens use mammalian cell surface carbohydrates as anchors for attachments,
which subsequently results in infection. The unique combination of magnetic nanoparticles …

Diseases caused by bacterial infections, especially drug-resistant bacteria have seriously
threatened human health throughout the world. It has been predicted that antimicrobial …
