This study evaluates an antimicrobial gel's ability to reduce aerosolized microbes, finding significant reductions in coronavirus, bacteria, and fungi.

This study evaluates silicon quantum dots doped with transition metals for bioimaging of the tear film, finding Sc-Si-QDs to be the most suitable due to their brightness and stability.

The paper investigates the prevalence of acquired fluoroquinolone resistance genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal isolates and their association with antibiotic susceptibility.

This study compares the resistomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clone ST308 isolates from 1997 and 2018, finding increased resistance genes and mobile element-associated resistance in recent isolates.

This paper investigates the mechanism of action of the antimicrobial peptide Mel4 and its precursor melimine against Staphylococcus aureus, finding that Mel4 kills bacteria through autolysin release rather than membrane pore formation.

This study compares the mechanisms of action of melimine and Mel4 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing melimine causes greater membrane disruption and cell lysis.
