Summary: Chitosan nanoparticles modified with N-alkylamines exhibit selective binding properties to Gram-negative bacteria, leading to bacterial aggregation. Shorter chain length substituents on the modified CNPs result in higher aggregation effects, particularly towards Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Additionally, CNPs with lower degree of substitution show greater inhibitory effects on the growth of Gram-negative strains.

Summary: Bacterial infections, especially Gram-negative ones, have become a growing problem due to antibiotic resistance. Nanozymes offer a promising solution by using reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill bacteria. In this study, NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanozymes were synthesized and shown to selectively kill Gram-negative bacteria through their peroxide-like (POD-like) activity. Ni4Co6 LDHs exhibited the highest POD and antibacterial activity, and were able to selectively sterilize Gram-negative bacteria through electrostatic adsorption and hydrophilic interactions with the bacterial cell wall. Animal experiments demonstrated effective healing of G(-) bacteria-infected wounds without harming normal tissues. This research provides a new direction for the application of nanozymes.

Summary: Selective photodynamic agents can be designed based on reactive differences to treat Gram-positive bacterial infections. Sulfur-replaced phenoxazinium generates a superoxide anion radical that selectively kills Gram-positive bacteria, while selenium-substituted phenoxazinium produces singlet oxygen that can kill both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Summary: The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria serves as an efficient barrier against external harmful compounds and plays a crucial role in preventing the entry of antimicrobial agents. Current antibiotics mainly target intracellular components, requiring translocation across membranes. A better understanding of Lipid A synthesis and membrane assembly could lead to the development of new antibacterial drugs against microbial resistance.

Summary: CDs, known for their nontoxic characteristics and inherent antibacterial potency, have gained significant attention as potential alternative antibiotics due to the increasing antibiotic resistance of bacterial strains. The light-driven antibacterial action of CDs is safe and effective with minimal side effects, and their direct interaction with bacterial cells contributes to their overall antibacterial activity. The unique and complex mechanisms of antibacterial activity of CDs involve ROS generation, degeneration of cell structure, and cytoplasm leakage, among other factors, providing insights for significant future research in this area.

Summary: Isoprenoids are essential for maintaining cellular functions and IspH is a crucial enzyme in their synthesis pathway. Through structure-guided design, a class of IspH inhibitors with nanomolar potency were identified, showing efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria while being relatively non-toxic to mammalian cells. These prodrugs also induce expansion and activation of human V gamma 9V delta 2 T cells, suggesting a potential strategy to limit antibiotic-resistant bacterial populations.

Summary: Endolysins, bacteriophage-encoded enzymes, can be used as potential antibacterial agents. Genetic engineering techniques allow customization of their properties and activity against specific bacterial targets, enabling personalized therapies for bacterial infections. Some endolysins can cross the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, enhancing their affinity towards the bacterial surface and membrane permeabilization. However, there is still a need for specific guidelines on implementing modifications to improve the bactericidal effectiveness of endolysins.

Summary: Due to the long dependence on fossil fuel as the main energy source, the climate is changing and alternative technologies for producing green fuels need to be discovered. Photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen is a potential technology, but the current catalysts with wide bandgap energies have weak activities and are far from industrial application. In this study, a novel 1D CoBiTi layered double hydroxide (CBT-LDH) with a bandgap of 2.4 eV was synthesized, achieving a high hydrogen evolution rate of 272.8 mu molg(-1)h(-1). By doping with highly active Bi, a 2D CoBiTi layered double oxide (CBTO) with high infrared (IR)-responsivity (bandgap = 1.27 eV) was made, achieving a hydrogen evolution rate of 113 mu molg(-1)h(-1) in the presence of a scavenger. Furthermore, a novel 3D-heterojunction was fabricated by in-situ compositing CBT-LDH and CBTO, which increased the hydrogen evolution rate by 5 folds (~1255 mu molg(-1)h(-1)) under Xenon light irradiation.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
