Efficacy of the Endolysin-Based Antibacterial Gel for Treatment of Anaerobic Infection Caused by .

Abscess formation is a common complication of severe life-threatening infections caused by obligate anaerobes. is among the frequently detected anaerobic pathogens from clinical specimens associated with liver abscesses, skin and soft tissue infections, or oral abscesses. The antimicrobial therapy for this kind of infection needs to be optimized.

Bactericidal Activity of Superhydrophobic and Superhydrophilic Copper in Bacterial Dispersions.

A method based on nanosecond laser processing was used to design superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic copper substrates. Three different protocols were used to analyze the evolution of the bactericidal activity of the copper substrates with different wettability. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the variation of cell morphology after the attachment to superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces.
