Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has emerged as a promising technology for neutralizing microbes, including multidrug-resistant strains. This study investigates CAP's potential as an alternative to traditional antimicrobial drugs for microbial inactivation. In the era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, there is a persistent need for alternative antimicrobial strategies.

Bacteria have the potential to exhibit divergent stereochemical preferences for different levels of chiral structures, including from molecule, supramolecule, to nanomicroscale helical structure. Accordingly, the structure-activity relationship between chirality and bactericidal activity remains uncertain. In this study, we seek to understand the multivalent molecular chirality effect of chiral supramolecular polymers on antibacterial activity.

is a predominant cause of post-operative surgical site infections and persistent bacteremia. Here, we describe a patient who experienced three episodes of infection over a period of 4 months following a total knee arthroplasty. The initial bloodstream isolate (SAB-0429) was a clonal complex 5 (CC5) and methicillin-resistant (MRSA), whereas two subsequent isolates (SAB-0485 and SAB-0495) were CC5 isolates but methicillin-sensitive .

This study focuses on the isolation and characterization of bacteria from Indonesian peat soil, particularly their potential to produce antibiotics against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, including Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA). <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Bacterial isolates were rejuvenated on nutrient agar and subjected to antimicrobial activity testing using the Bauer & Kirby diffusion method against MRSA.

Kanıtlar, klorheksidin glukonat (CHG) solüsyonuyla gerçekleştirilen banyonun, sağlık hizmeti ilişkili enfeksiyonlar (SHİE)'a neden olan mikroorganizmaların kolonizasyonunu azalttığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada yoğun bakım ünitesi (YBÜ)'nde yatan kanser hastalarında CHG banyosunun MRSA ve VRE kolonizasyonu üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çapraz tasarımlı çalışmada, kanser hastalarında standart su + sabun banyosuyla %2'lik CHG banyosu karşılaştırılmıştır.
