Dengue virus poses a significant global health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite the urgent demand for vaccines in the control of the disease, the two approved vaccines, Dengvaxia and TV003/TV005, there are current questions regarding their effectiveness due to an increased risk of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and reduced protection. These challenges have underscored the need for further development of improved vaccines for Dengue Virus.

- The systematic review investigates the effectiveness of silver-containing gelling fiber dressings against multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in wound infections, particularly focusing on burn wounds.
- Through a thorough literature search over the past ten years, the review confirmed that these dressings maintained antimicrobial activity against 10 MDROs for seven days, demonstrating efficacy against both free-living bacteria and biofilms.
- Despite promising results, the study points out limitations such as reliance on in vitro models and the need for further clinical validation, while emphasizing that innovative approaches like nanotechnology are essential to better manage antimicrobial resistance in wound care.
