Implant-associated infection (IAI) caused by pathogens colonizing on the implant surface is
a serious issue in the trauma-orthopedic surgery, which often leads to implant failure. The …

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

Bacterial infections have seriously threatened public health especially with the increasing
resistance and the cliff-like decline of the number of newly approved antibacterial agents …

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 …

Since their development over 70 years, antibiotics are still the most effective strategy to treat
bacterial biofilms and infections. However, the overuse of antibiotics in human healthcare …

Diabetic wounds often have a slow healing process and become easily infected owing to
hyperglycemia in wound beds. Once planktonic bacterial cells develop into biofilms, the …

Two component injectable hydrogels that cross-link in situ have been used as noninvasive
wound-filling devices, ie, sealants. These materials carry a variety of functions at the wound …

The escalating emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and their ability to
colonize into biofilms on a multitude of surfaces have struck global health as a nightmare …
