Smart antibacterial Pickering emulsion can respond to the stimulation of environmental conditions to control the release of antibacterial agents, protecting the quality and safety of food. In this study, FeO was grafted on the cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) via ultrasound-assisted in situ co-precipitation to synthesize the magnetic cellulose nanocomposite particles. When the ratio of FeCl and FeCl was 1.5:1, the prepared particles CNC/Fe exhibited the maximum saturation magnetization intensity of 54.98 emu/g and good emulsion stability, which was used to emulsify oregano essential oil (OEO) to fabricate smart antibacterial Pickering emulsion with magnetically responsive ability. The emulsion with the oil-water ratio of 3:7 and the particle concentration of 0.3 wt% showed the excellent stability and sensitive responsiveness of magnetic. The OEO released rapidly within 0-8 h followed by the slow release when the emulsion was stimulated by 0.2 T, 0.4 T and 0.6 T magnetic field. The antibacterial rate of the emulsion was close to 100 % against both E. coli and L. monocytogenes at magnetic field with 0.4 T and 0.6 T in 12 h, achieving the smart antimicrobial. The prepared smart antibacterial Pickering emulsion would provide a novel material and have the potential in food packaging.

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant global health threat by reducing the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics, particularly against pathogens like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This study investigates the antimicrobial potential of rhizospheric soil bacteria from Prosopis cineraria (Sangri) in the Thar Desert. Bacterial strains isolated from these samples were observed to produce secondary metabolites, notably, Iturin A C-15 cyclic lipopeptide (SS1-3-P) which was extracted from strain Enterobacter cloacae SS1-3 and was purified and characterized using reverse-phase HPLC, ESI-LC/MS, Nile-Red Assay, and FT-IR analysis.

Continued efforts to discover new antibacterial molecules are critical to achieve a robust pre-clinical pipeline for new antibiotics. Screening of compound or natural product extract libraries remains a widespread approach and can benefit from the development of whole cell assays that are robust, simple and versatile, and allow for high throughput testing of antibacterial activity. In this study, we created and validated two bioluminescent reporter strains for high-throughput screening, one in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and another in a hyperporinated and efflux-deficient Escherichia coli.

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) play a pivotal role in restoring vision following cataract surgery. The evolution of polymeric biomaterials has been central to addressing challenges such as biocompatibility, optical clarity, mechanical stability, and resistance to opacification. This review explores essential requirements for IOL biomaterials, emphasizing their ability to mitigate complications like posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and dysphotopsias while maintaining long-term durability and visual quality.

The design of multifunctional, high-performance wearable heaters utilizing textile substrates has garnered increasing attention, particularly in the development of body temperature and health monitoring devices. However, fabricating these multifunctional wearable heaters while simultaneously ensuring flexibility, air permeability, Joule heating performance, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and antibacterial properties remains a significant challenge. This study utilizes phase transition lysozyme (PTL) film-mediated electroless deposition (ELD) technology to deposit silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the cotton fabrics surface in a mild aqueous solution at room temperature, thereby constructing a wearable heater with long-term stability, high conductivity, and exceptional photothermal properties.
