Abstract:

Background: Hospitals in the United States have been encouraged to report antimicrobial use (AU) to the CDC NHSN since 2011. Through the NHSN Antimicrobial Use Option module, health systems may compare standardized antimicrobial administration ratios (SAARs) across specific facilities, patient care locations, time periods, and antimicrobial categories. To date, participation in the NHSN Antimicrobial Use Option remains voluntary and the value of reporting antimicrobial use and receiving monthly SAARs to multihospital healthcare systems has not been clearly demonstrated.

Antimicrobial resistance is now considered a major global challenge; compromising medical advancements and our ability to treat infectious disease. Increased antimicrobial resistance has resulted in increased morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases worldwide.

Abstract. Antibiotic resistance has become one of the most critical public health problems in the 21st century, and infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria severely threaten human health. Otherwise, the development rate of conventional antibiotics has been unable to keep up with the speed at which bacteria develop resistance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop antimicrobial agents with novel mechanisms of action. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are naturally occurring polypeptides with antibacterial activity, which have different mechanisms of action from existing antibiotics and thus have

Abstract:

Antimicrobial peptides are a type of small-molecule peptide that widely exist in nature and are components of the innate immunity of almost all living things. They play an important role in resisting foreign invading microorganisms. Antimicrobial peptides have a wide range of antibacterial activities against bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms. They are active against traditional antibiotic-resistant strains and do not easily induce the development of drug resistance. Therefore, they have become a hot spot of medical research and are expected to become a new substitute for fighti

Abstract:

Oral cavity incessantly encounters a plethora of microorganisms. Plaque biofilm—a major cause of caries, periodontitis and other dental diseases—is a complex community of bacteria or fungi that causes infection by protecting pathogenic microorganisms from external drug agents and escaping the host defense mechanisms. Antimicrobial nanoparticles are promising because of several advantages such as ultra-small sizes, large surface-area-to-mass ratio and special physical and chemical properties. To better summarize explorations of antimicrobial nanoparticles and provide directions for future studi

Abstract:

The production of sustainable food packaging from renewable sources represents a prominent alternative to the use of petrochemical-based plastics. For example, starch remains one of the most studied replacement options due to its wide availability, low cost, and significant advances in improving packaging properties. In this context, nanoparticles with antimicrobial properties as additives play a key role in manufacturing renewable active packaging with superior performance. In this review, a comprehensive summary is provided on the research papers that addresses strategies for using active pa

Abstract:

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are essential components of immune defenses of multicellular organisms and are currently in development as anti-infective drugs. AMPs have been classically assumed to have broad-spectrum activity and simple kinetics, but recent evidence suggests an unexpected degree of specificity and a high capacity for synergies. Deeper evaluation of the molecular evolution and population genetics of AMP genes reveals more evidence for adaptive maintenance of polymorphism in AMP genes than has previously been appreciated, as well as adaptive loss of AMP activity. AMPs exhibit ph

Abstract:

The integration of behavioral theories in designing antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions aimed at optimizing the antimicrobial prescription in veterinary practice is highly recommended. However, little is known about the factors that influence veterinarians’ antimicrobial behavior for food-producing animals in lower- and middle-income settings like Bangladesh. There is a large body of research on the factors that influence veterinarian behavior of prescribing antimicrobials, however, there is a need for more studies that use comprehensive behavior change models to develop and evaluate

At various pathological states, Staphylococcus aureus may cause a number of diseases. Rapid spread of antibiotic resistance necessitates the search for alternative approaches to antimicrobial treatment of staphylococci. Due to their membranotropic properties, natural and synthetic terpenoids are capable both of antimicrobial action and of potentiation of the effect of other antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial activity of 53 natural terpenes and their synthetic oxygen-containing derivatives was determined, as well as their ability to potentiate the effect of known antimicrobials on S. aureus.

Abstract:

Meeting global food demands for a growing human population with finite natural resources is a major challenge. Aquaculture and agriculture are critical to satisfy food requirements, yet suffer significant losses from bacterial diseases. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antimicrobial strategies, which is heightened by increasing antibiotic resistance. Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, and phage-derived therapies are promising treatments in the fight against bacterial diseases. Here, we describe multiple ways that phages and phage-based tec

Abstract:

Implant infections have become a major obstacle to implant failure. Although traditional antibiotic treatments have provided a solution to some extent, conventional antibiotic drug treatments fail to eradicate bacteria and even cause antibiotic resistance. Therefore, the development of biomedical implants employing antimicrobial coatings becomes the focus of more and more research. Nanomaterials, with their excellent biocompatibility and unique antimicrobial properties, have been widely used in biomedical devices. This paper focuses on the application of nanocoatings in biomedical implants and
