The efficacy of a nitric oxide-releasing formulation on nares isolated Methicillin-Resistant in porcine wound infection model.

Background: The colonization of (SA) acquired in nosocomial infections may develop acute and chronic infections such as Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) in the nose. As a commensal microorganism with the ability to form a biofilm, SA can dwell on the skin, nostrils, throat, perineum, and axillae of healthy humans. Nitric oxide (NO) is an unstable gas with various molecular functions and has antimicrobial properties which are converted into many potential treatments.

Efficacy of a Topical Nitric Oxide-Releasing Gel on Polymicrobial Wound Infections.

Introduction: Wounds are colonized frequently by heterogeneous microflora. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) are two of the most isolated bacterial species from wounds, and both typically form highly organized biofilms. Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived, diatomic, lipophilic gas with antimicrobial activity.

Optimizing Siglec-8-Directed Immunotherapy for Eosinophilic and Mast Cell Disorders.

Current treatments for eosinophilic and mast cell disorders are often ineffective. One promising target to improve outcomes is sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-8 (Siglec-8). As limitations, there are few Siglec-8 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) available to date, and Siglec-8-directed treatments have so far primarily focused on unconjugated mAbs, which may be inadequate, especially against mast cells.

Antimicrobial effects of a multimodal wound matrix against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an in vitro and an in vivo porcine wound model.

Chronic non-healing wounds pose significant challenges due to an elevated inflammatory response caused in part by bacterial contamination (Physiol Rev. 2019;99:665). These wounds lead to billions being spent in the health care system worldwide (N Engl J Med.
