Article Synopsis
  • * This study examined how colistin-resistant A. baumannii strains arise, showing that while colistin alone leads to LPS-deficient strains, combining it with other antibiotics results in strains with modified LPS.
  • * The findings indicate that LPS-deficient strains are less fit and more susceptible to other treatments, suggesting that LPS-modified strains are more prevalent in clinical settings, highlighting the urgent need to address colistin resistance in healthcare.

Substitution of Al atoms in a zeolite framework by catalytic metal atoms has attracted considerable attention because the catalytic behavior can be tuned by the substituted atoms. In the present study, Sn-substituted MFI-type silicates were synthesized using a hydrothermal reaction of an amorphous Si-O-Sn precursor prepared by mechanochemical grinding of SiO and Sn(OH). The mechanochemical treatment was found to be a key technique for obtaining the amorphous Si-O-Sn precursor, where tetrahedral Sn species were incorporated into the amorphous matrix.
