In the present scenario, resistance to antibiotics is one of the crucial issues related to public
health. Earlier, such resistance to antibiotics was limited to nosocomial infections, but it has …

Unlike conventional antimicrobials, the study of bacterial resistance to silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) remains in its infancy and the mechanism (s) through which it evolves are limited …

Antibiotic usage and resistance are major health concerns. Antibiotic resistance occurs
when bacteria evolve to resist the effects of antibiotics, making it impossible to treat …

Globally, a high prevalence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, mostly methicillin-
resistant Staphylococcus aureus and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, has been …

Anatomically modern human being is a relatively young species (~ 300 000 years old) with
small amounts of genetic variation contained within them. The vast majority of its existence …

Both ionic and nanoparticle iron have been proposed as materials to control multidrug-
resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, the potential bacteria to evolve resistance to …

Background There has been an increased usage of metallic antimicrobial materials to
control pathogenic and multi-drug resistant bacteria. Yet, there is a corresponding need to …

Due to the widespread occurrence of multidrug resistant microbes there is increasing
interest in the use of novel nanostructured materials as antimicrobials. Specifically, metallic …

Abstract Background and Objectives Metallic antimicrobial materials are of growing interest
due to their potential to control pathogenic and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Yet we do not …

Long-term space missions have shown an increased incidence of oral disease in astronauts'
and as a result, are one of the top conditions predicted to impact future missions. Here we …
