Objectives: To define the in vitro pharmacodynamics of taniborbactam against Enterobacterales with CTXM-15, KPC, AmpC, and OXA-48 β-lactamases.

Methods: An in vitro pharmacokinetic model was used to simulate serum concentrations associated with cefepime 2G by 1 h infusion 8 h. Taniborbactam was given in exposure ranging and fractionation simulations. Reduction in viable count at 24 h (Δ 24) was the primary end point and four strains were used: Escherichia coli expressing CTXM-15 or AmpC and Klebsiella pneumoniae expressing KPC or OXA-48 enzymes.

Results: Taniborbactam was administered as continuous infusions; ≥4 log kill was attained with taniborbactam concentrations of ≥0.01 mg/L against CTXM-15 E. coli, ≥0.5 mg/L against KPC- and OXA-48 K. pneumoniae, and ≥4 mg/L against AmpC E. coli. Analyses were conducted to determine the pharmacokinetic/dynamic driver for each strain. For E. coli (CTXM-15) and E. coli (AmpC), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) was best related to change in viable count (R0.74 and 0.72, respectively). For K. pneumoniae (KPC) AUC and T > 0.25 mg/L were equally related to bacterial clearance (R0.72 for both), and for K. pneumoniae (OXA-48) T > 0.25 mg/L was the best predictor (R0.94). The taniborbactam AUC range to produce a 1-log reduction in viable count was 4.4-11.2 mg·h/L. Analysis of data from all strains indicated T > MIC divided by 4 was best related to change in viable count; however, curve fit was poor R < 0.49.

Conclusions: Taniborbactam was effective in combination with cefepime in producing bacterial clearance for B lactam resistant Enterobacterales. The primary pharmacodynamic driver was AUC or time > threshold, both being closely related to antibacterial effect.

Purpose: SLM 3D printing technology is one of the most widely used implant-making technologies. However, the surfaces of the implants are relatively rough, and bacteria can easily adhere to them; increasing the risk of postoperative infection. Therefore, we prepared a near-infrared photoresponsive nano-TiO coating on the surface of an SLM 3D-printed titanium alloy sheet (Ti6Al4V) via a hydrothermal method to evaluate its antibacterial properties and biocompatibility.

Biofilm formation on biological and material surfaces represents a heavy health and economic burden for both patient and society. To contrast this phenomenon, medical devices combining antibacterial and pro-wound healing abilities are a promising strategy. In the present work, Xanthan gum/Guar gum (XG/GG)-based scaffolds were tuned with thymol and Zn to obtain wound dressings that combine antibacterial and antibiofilm properties and favour the healing process.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of age on semen and hormonal parameters following microsurgical varicocelectomy among patients with grade 3 varicocele, and to compare fertility outcomes between younger (<40 years) and older (≥40 years) men.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of infertile patients with clinical left grade 3 varicocele who underwent microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy (MV). Patients meeting the inclusion criteria ( = 550) were divided into two groups based on their age at the time of MV: <40 ( = 441) and ≥40 years ( = 109).

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) is the most frequent indication for corneal transplantation, with Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) being viable options. This retrospective study compared 10-year outcomes of these techniques in a large cohort of 2956 first-time keratoplasty eyes treated for FECD at a high-volume corneal transplant center in Germany. While DMEK and DSAEK provided faster visual recovery (median time to BSCVA ≥ 6/12 Snellen: DMEK 7.

Skin wound healing is a physiological process orchestrated by epithelial and mesenchymal cells able to restore tissue continuity by re-organizing themselves and the ECM. This research study aimed to develop an optimized in vitro experimental model of full-thickness skin, to address molecular and morphological modifications occurring in the re-epithelization and wound healing process. Wound healing starting events were investigated within an experimental window of 8 days at the molecular level by gene expression and immunofluorescence of key epidermal and dermal biomarkers.
