As more antibiotics are rendered ineffective by drug-resistant bacteria, focus must be shifted
towards alternative therapies for treating infections. Although several alternatives already …

Cationic surfactants are widely used as antimicrobial agents in various fields. However, the
widespread use of cationic surfactants has caused huge accumulation in environment …

Over 80% of all chronic bacterial infections in humans are associated with biofilms, which
are surface-associated bacterial communities encased within a secreted exopolysaccharide …

Global health is increasingly being threatened by the rapid emergence of drug-resistant
microbes. The ability of these microbes to form biofilms has further exacerbated the scenario …

Bacterial infection is a serious problem threatening human health. The chitosan (CS)-
modified MoS 2 coating loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was designed on the …

New approaches to target antibacterial agents toward Gram-negative bacteria are key, given
the rise of antibiotic resistance. Since the discovery of polymyxin B nonapeptide as a potent …

Periodontitis is a common disease caused by plaque biofilms, which are important
pathogenic factors of many diseases and may be eradicated by antibiotic therapy. However …

Cell wall biosynthesis inhibitors (CBIs) have historically been one of the most effective
classes of antibiotics. They are the most extensively used class of antibiotics and their …

Cationic and ionizable cationic lipids are broadly applied as auxiliary agents, but their use is
associated with adverse effects. If these excipients are rapidly degraded to endogenously …

In view of the implications of inherent resistance of pathogenic bacteria, especially ESKAPE
pathogens toward most of the commercially available antibiotics and the importance of these …
