Summary: Silver-based nano-antibiotics are emerging as promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics, with highly monodispersed, ultrasmall polycationic silver nanoclusters showing enhanced antibacterial efficacy against a wide range of pathogens and biofilms, particularly anaerobic bacteria. This novel design strategy demonstrates the potential for developing highly potent nano-antibiotics effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria and biofilms while also delaying the development of bacterial resistance.

Summary: Salmonellosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in Latin America where the understanding of mortality rates and antibiotic resistance is limited. This retrospective observational study analyzed patients infected with Salmonella spp. in a university hospital in Colombia between 2012 and 2021. The study found that Salmonellosis accounted for 0.01% of all medical consultations and the most common clinical presentation was gastroenteric syndrome. Mortality occurred in 4.02% of the patients, with higher rates in patients with hematologic malignancy. Antibiotic resistance rates have been steadily increasing over the past 10 years.

Summary: Biofilms have become a subject of increasing attention due to their association with bacterial infections. Traditional antibiofilm approaches based on antibiotics are often ineffective in eradicating biofilms due to limited antibiotic diffusion and inactivation. Smart drug delivery systems that target the biofilm interior show promise in overcoming this challenge. This review focuses on methods to improve drug delivery efficiency for enhanced chemotherapy of biofilms, including chemical and physical approaches.

Summary: Drug repurposing is a feasible strategy for addressing antibiotic resistance. This study explored the antimicrobial properties of the commonly used antihistamine drug, promethazine, in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. By combining promethazine with nanoscale materials, such as mannose-conjugated bovine serum albumin-stabilized gold nanoclusters, the efficiency of the drug can be enhanced. The study found that the drug-loaded gold nanoclusters effectively targeted bacteria through the inhibition of their adhesive appendage called pili, resulting in bacterial inhibition and potential biofilm eradication.

Summary: In this study, CuS nanoparticles were conjugated with shrimp lectin (Md-Lec) to enhance their antimicrobial activity against aquatic pathogens. The conjugation led to a four-fold reduction in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and decreased hydrophobicity index and EPS production of the pathogens. Furthermore, treated fishes showed elevated non-specific immune parameters and upregulated immune gene expression, suggesting the potential of Md-Lec-pCuS NPs as an immunostimulant for disease-free fish production in aquaculture industry.

Summary: In this study, cationic antimicrobial lipid was used as a stabilizing agent in the preparation of copper sulfide nano particles for the first time. The cN16E-CuS exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, with a two-fold lower MIC compared to pure cN16E. Mechanistic study revealed that cN16E-CuS produced excess reactive oxygen species, leading to superior antimicrobial activity at lower concentrations.

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
