Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and allied photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy
have shown remarkable activity against bacterial pathogens in both planktonic and biofilm …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a devastating complication after total joint
arthroplasty. Bacteria involved in these infections are notorious for adhering to foreign …

Bacteria have brought great harm to the public, especially after the emergence of multidrug-
resistant bacteria. This has rendered traditional antibiotic therapy ineffective. In recent years …

In this research, a multi‐step microfluidic reactor was used to fabricate chitosan–
superparamagnetic iron oxide composite nanoparticles (Ch–SPIONs), where composite …

Aims Here we used a mature seven-day biofilm model of Staphylococcus aureus, exposed
to antibiotics up to an additional seven days, to establish the effectiveness of either …

The persistent emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens is leading to a decline
in the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) …

The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
might significantly contribute to the growing number of multiple drug resistant (MDR) …

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a complication of arthroplasty that results in significant
morbidity. The presence of biofilm makes treatment difficult, and removal of the prosthesis is …

Chronic wound infections can be difficult to treat and may lead to impaired healing and
worsened patient outcomes. Novel treatment strategies are needed. This study evaluated …

Iron and its alloys are attractive as biodegradable materials because of their low toxicity and
suitable mechanical properties; however, they generally have a slow degradation rate …
