- ZIF nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining attention for their easy synthesis, customizable features, and low toxicity, making them promising for biological applications.
- Researchers focus on synthesizing a complex ZIF, ZIF-20, with two cage types, using microwave heating for quick and tunable production.
- The study shows ZIF-20's stability in biological media, its compatibility with human cells, and its ability to encapsulate and release therapeutic agents, indicating the potential for broader applications in the field.
The majority of paediatric Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are community-associated (CA), but few data exist regarding associated risk factors. We conducted a case-control study to evaluate CA-CDI risk factors in young children. Participants were enrolled from eight US sites during October 2014-February 2016.
