Bacteriophages have gained significant interest as a potential solution to combat harmful bacteria, especially in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. With the rise in drug-resistant microorganisms, the medical community is increasingly exploring new alternatives to traditional antibiotics, and bacteriophages offer several advantages in this regard. However, phage applications still face some challenges, such as host specificity.

Article Synopsis
  • Four novel strains resistant to copper were tested against newly synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO and CuO NPs).
  • Characterization methods confirmed the successful creation of these nanoparticles, which showed superiority in inhibiting bacterial growth due to their ability to induce oxidative stress.
  • The study highlighted that CuO NPs not only reduced biofilm formation in copper-resistant strains but also revealed different responses based on the bacterial species, demonstrating the potential of nanotechnology in addressing metal tolerance in bacteria.

Polymer-based dressings deriving from natural biomaterials have advantages such as nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and mechanical stability, which are essential for efficient wound healing and microbial infection diagnostics. Here, we designed a prototype of an intelligent hydrogel dressing on the base of bacterial cellulose (BC) for monitoring wound microbial infection due to the uploaded natural pH dye-sensor, anthocyanins (ANC) of elderberry fruit ( L.).

Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations are very effective in the discovery of nanomedicines for treating cancer, but these are computationally expensive and time-consuming. Existing studies integrating machine learning (ML) into MD simulation to enhance the process and enable efficient analysis cannot provide direct insights without the complete simulation. In this study, we present an ML-based approach for predicting the solvent accessible surface area (SASA) of a nanoparticle (NP), denoting its efficacy, from a fraction of the MD simulations data.
