At present, foodborne diseases (FBDs) caused by bacteria are gradually increasing every year, and the development of new antibiotics is an urgent necessity for human beings. To find novel antibacterial compounds, three sponge-derived fungal strains (SCSIOS02F40, F46, and F49) were investigated. As a result, sp. SCSIOS02F49 was selected for investigation on its secondary metabolites because its ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract of potato dextrose broth (PDB) culture showed rich metabolites and strong antibacterial activity. Two new dibenzopyrones with rare sulfate group (-), together with 10 known compounds (-), were isolated from the sp. SCSIOS02F49. Their structures were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) data, and comparison with data from the relevant literature. Almost all compounds showed moderate inhibitory activity against eight foodborne bacteria (FBB) with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 15.6-250 μg/ml, and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values in the range of 31.3-250 μg/ml. The antibacterial mechanism of compound 1 was preliminarily investigated using growth curves, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and flow cytometry (FCM), which revealed that compound 1 altered the external structure of and caused the rupture or deformation of the cell membranes. This research provides lead compounds for the development of new antibiotics or microbial preservatives.

The provision of wound care and management in a community healthcare setting: an exploratory study.
J Wound Care

Nursing and Health Care, School of Health Sciences, South East Technological University, Waterford City, Ireland.
Objective: Wound management can be costly and challenging to the health services' scarce resources. Information regarding the number of wounds in a community care setting and their associated aetiology will provide nurses and nurse managers with an insight into the specific needs of these clients with wounds and highlight areas where care or services can be improved or further developed. This research aimed to establish the prevalence and aetiology of wounds, the current delivery of wound care, wound documentation and referral pathways in an Irish community care setting.

Objective: The presence of microorganisms in a wound may lead to the development of pathologically extensive inflammation, and either delay or prevent the healing of hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds. The aim of this case series is to explore the use of topical gentamicin ointment, an aminoglycoside with activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria, as an option to address hard-to-heal wounds.
Method: We present a retrospective case series of patients with hard-to-heal wounds of varying pathophysiologies treated with topical gentamicin.
Proximity-Ligation Metagenomic Sequence Analysis Reveals That the Antibiotic Resistome Makes Significant Transitions During Municipal Wastewater Treatment.

Shotgun and proximity-ligation metagenomic sequencing were used to generate thousands of metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) from the untreated wastewater, activated sludge bioreactors, and anaerobic digesters from two full-scale municipal wastewater treatment facilities. Analysis of the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the pool of contigs from the shotgun metagenomic sequences revealed significantly different relative abundances and types of ARGs in the untreated wastewaster compared to the activated sludge bioreactors or the anaerobic digesters (p < 0.05).

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a global challenge in treating bacterial infections, creating an urgent need for broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents that can effectively combat multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Despite advancements in novel antimicrobial agents, many fail to comprehensively cover common resistant bacterial strains or undergo rigorous multi-center validation. Herein, a cationic AIE-active photosensitizers are developed, ITPM, derived from a triphenylamine-pyridine backbone to address the MDR challenge.

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are a significant issue in joint replacement surgery patients, affecting results and mortality. Recent research focuses on developing hydrogels (HG) and antimicrobial coatings to reduce pressure injuries, with DAC™ HG showing lower infection risk in hip revision surgery. However, the effectiveness of DAC™ hydrogel in PIJs is still unknown.
