Excessive use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria that are
a serious threat to human health. There is a need to develop efficient antibacterial agents to …

Tannic acid (TA), a large polyphenolic molecule, has long been known for use in food
additives, antioxidants, bio-sorbents, animal feed and adhesives due to its intrinsic …

Background Biofilms are multicellular communities of microorganisms held together by a self-
produced extracellular matrix. The ability of microbes to form biofilm is a universal …

Bacteria use quorum sensing to orchestrate gene expression programmes that underlie
collective behaviours. Quorum sensing relies on the production, release, detection and …

Local causes of slow wound healing include infection and wound hemorrhage. Using
sodium bicarbonate as a neutralizer, a variety of carboxymethyl chitosan–tannic acid (CMC …

Decreased antimicrobial efficiency has become a global public health issue. The paucity of
new antibacterial drugs is evident, and the arsenal against infectious diseases needs to be …

At present, anti-virulence drugs are being considered as potential therapeutic alternatives
and/or adjuvants to currently failing antibiotics. These drugs do not kill bacteria but inhibit …

The majority of current infectious diseases are almost untreatable by conventional antibiotic
therapy given the advent of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The degree of severity and the …

Infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa have become a concerning threat in hospital-
acquired infections and for cystic fibrosis patients. The major problem leading to high …

We apply a multiscale modeling approach to study lattice reconstruction in marginally
twisted bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). For this, we develop density …
