DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202401067
Abstract: Bacteria‐derived hydrogen sulfide (H2S) often contributes to the emergence of antibiotic‐recalcitrant bacteria, especially persister (a sub‐population of dormant bacteria), thus causing the treatment failure of Catheter‐associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Here, an H2S harvester nanosystem… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biochem.1c00605
Abstract: Biofilms are communities of self-enmeshed bacteria in a matrix of exopolysaccharides. The widely distributed human pathogen and commensal Escherichia coli produces a biofilm matrix composed of phosphoethanolamine (pEtN)-modified cellulose and amyloid protein fibers, termed curli.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b02865
Abstract: Biofilms, composed of periphyton, bacteria and organic detritus, are the base of the food web in many streams and rivers. This media adsorbs and actively sequesters organic and inorganic contaminants from the water column. Here,… read more here.
