Resist or perish: Fate of a microbial population subjected to a periodic presence of antimicrobial

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance can be strongly affected by variations of antimicrobial concentration. Here, we study the impact of periodic alternations of absence and presence of antimicrobial on resistance evolution in a microbial population, ...

Advances in catalytic/photocatalytic bacterial inactivation by nano Ag and Cu coated surfaces and medical devices

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The design, synthesis, fundamentals and evaluation of 2D/3D antimicrobial surfaces are addressed in detail in the current review. Recent advances in the antimicrobial mechanism, kinetics and properties of Ag, Cu and Ag-Cu surfaces in the dark and under lig ...

Population Structure, Molecular Epidemiology, and beta-Lactamase Diversity among Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates in the United States

Luciano Andres Abriata

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative, nonfermenting, environmental bacillus that is an important cause of nosocomial infections, primarily associated with the respiratory tract in the immunocompromised population. Aiming to understand the popula ...

Assessment of the correlation among antibiotic resistance, adherence to abiotic and biotic surfaces, invasion and cytotoxicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from diseased gilthead sea bream

Sami Rtimi

Improper uses of antibiotics to treat fish disease pose an increase of multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In order to escape host antimicrobial agents and induce cytotoxicity, different virulence properties are needed by these bacteria such as ...

VUV/UV light inducing accelerated phenol degradation with a low electric input

Juan Kiwi

This study presents the first evidence for the accelerated degradation of phenol by Fenton's reagent in a minifluidic VUV/UV photoreaction system (MVPS). A low-pressure mercury lamp used in the MVPS led to a complete degradation of phenol within 4-6 min. T ...

Single-Cell Tracking Reveals Antibiotic-Induced Changes in Mycobacterial Energy Metabolism

John McKinney, Muhittin Emre Özdemir, Zeljka Maglica

ATP is a key molecule of cell physiology, but despite its importance, there are currently no methods for monitoring single-cell ATP fluctuations in live bacteria. This is a major obstacle in studies of bacterial energy metabolism, because there is a growin ...

New evidence for TiO2 uniform surfaces leading to complete bacterial reduction in the dark: Critical issues

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Danièle Laub

This study presents new evidence for the events leading to Escherichia coil reduction in the absence of light irradiation on TiO2-polyester (from now on TiO2-PES. By transmission electron microscopy (TEM) the diffusion of TiO2 NP's aggregates with the E. c ...
