The widespread antibiotic resistance has called for alternative antimicrobial agents. Carbon nanomaterials, especially carbon quantum dots (CQDs), may be promising alternatives due to their desirable physicochemical properties and potential antimicrobial activity, but their antimicrobial mechanism remains to be investigated. In this study, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) were synthesized to inactivate antibiotic-resistant bacteria and treat bacterial keratitis.

One of the most prevalent human infections is (), which affects more than half of the global population. Although infections are widespread, only a minority of individuals develop severe gastroduodenal disorders. The global resistance of to antibiotics has reached concerning levels, significantly impacting the effectiveness of treatment.

The biosynthesis of mupirocin, a clinically significant antibiotic produced by sp. NCIMB 10586, is activated by the -acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) MupR/I quorum sensing (QS) system. However, to date, limited research has focused on the influence of global regulators such as the GacS/A two-component system (TCS) on the MupR/I QS system or mupirocin biosynthesis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death in the world, despite being a preventable and curable disease. Irrespective of tremendous advancements in early detection and treatment, this disease still has high mortality rates. This is due to the development of antibiotic resistance, which significantly reduced the efficacy of antibiotics, rendering them useless against this bacterial infection.
