Unlabelled: is an opportunistic pathogen that can salvage nucleobases from the environment to conserve nutrients that would otherwise be spent on nucleotide biosynthesis. However, little is known regarding the substrate specificity of the 13 putative nucleobase transporters in . Here, using a combination of genetic and chemical approaches, we report substrate identifications for 10 putative nucleobase transporters in .

Healthcare-acquired infections place a significant burden on the cost and quality of patient care in hospitals. Reducing contamination on surfaces within healthcare environments is critical for halting the spread of these infections. Herein, we report a bifunctional─repel and kill─surface developed using photoactive TiO nanoparticles integrated into a hierarchical scaffold (OmniKill).
