Invisible shield: Sprayable supramolecular antimicrobial microscale films for preventing wound and medical device infections

This paper develops a sprayable antimicrobial film that prevents wound and medical device infections by forming a nanometric polyelectrolyte complex on surfaces.

Implementing considered elements of standardisation for Time Kill Curve experiments across multiple sites: A European collaboration perspective

This study evaluates factors affecting Time Kill Curve (TKC) consistency across laboratories, finding that vessel size, agitation, and inoculum preparation significantly impact results.

Is there a need to implement standardisation into in vitro antimicrobial evaluation systems? A European collaboration perspective

This study evaluates the consistency of time kill curve (TKC) methodologies across six laboratories testing meropenem against E. coli, finding significant inter-centre variability.

Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of quiescent epimastigotes as a resource for investigating Trypanosoma cruzi persistence.

The paper analyzes the transcriptome and proteome of quiescent T. cruzi epimastigotes to understand persistence mechanisms and improve drug development.

HoloMoA: Fast holography and deep-learning-based tool for the novelty detection of mechanism of action of antimicrobial candidates

HoloMoA uses holography and deep learning to classify and detect novel mechanisms of action of antimicrobials with 89% accuracy on known antibiotics.
