Protection Paints has developed Vira-Protect with a source of silver ions combined with water-based paint-compatible polyurethane to create a hardwearing, efficient paint to support infection control
Scientists have developed new types of fibers that could revolutionize medical treatments. Made from a biodegradable polymer PLA (plastic) and reinforced with special nanoparticles, these fibers show great promise for use in medical implants, improved healing, reduced infection risk, and a wider range of medical applications.
In an aim towards battling the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the University of Liverpool has been granted £1.3 million to lead the UK Government’s Fleming Fund Fellowship Programme.
Researchers discover an antimicrobial resistance, identifying molecules that can overcome efflux pumps and restore antibiotic effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria.
Fusobacterium, implicated in diseases like gingivitis, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer, has now been discovered to play a role in the formation of endometriosis.
Finding a way to close the carbon cycle is crucial in our steps towards a greener planet; researchers believe that filtering out petroleum and utilizing other options like biofuels we can help reduce our CO2 emissions.
Aarthi JanakiRaman, Research Director, Chemicals and Advanced Materials at TechVision, walks us through Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) and ponders whether it is the way forward for biomanufacturing in the chemical industry.
Professor of Evolutionary Biology Ashleigh S. Griffin discusses harnessing the power of evolutionary process instead of fighting it, particularly regarding bacterial cells and cooperation.
Here, several academic experts explain what we need to know about removing the blindfold on antimicrobial resistance - by strengthening clinical microbiology laboratories in resource-limited settings.
A study, published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, finds that marine bacteria in the Canadian Arctic is capable of biodegrading fossil fuels - specifically, post-oil spill.
