Antibacterial surface engineering: bioinspiration from leaves to medical devices

Dannielle M. Cox-Pridmore; Eleanor Mishra; Mark Webber dkk.

RSC Applied Interfaces, Vol. 3 No. 5 · 2026 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) and the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are critical global health challenges, necessitating innovative solutions to combat pathogenic bacteria. Traditional approaches, such as antibiotics and chemical disinfectants, are increasingly ineffective due to…

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) of the Salish Sea, Northeast Pacific: annotated checklist and new species reports

Mark Webber; Elaine Humphrey; Arjan van Asselt dkk.

Biodiversity Data Journal, Vol. 14 · 2026 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Diatoms are major primary producers known to respond rapidly to environmental change, making them useful indicators for ecological assessment and monitoring. In the Salish Sea bioregion, diatom records date back to early inventories by Lord (1866) and Bailey and MacKay (1916), followed by scattered…

Cefotaxime Exposure Selects Mutations within the CA-Domain of envZ Which Promote Antibiotic Resistance but Repress Biofilm Formation in Salmonella

Eleftheria Trampari; Chuanzhen Zhang; Kathryn Gotts dkk.

Microbiology Spectrum, Vol. 10 No. 3 · 2022 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

ABSTRACT Cephalosporins are important beta lactam antibiotics, but resistance can be mediated by various mechanisms including production of beta lactamase enzymes, changes in membrane permeability or active efflux. We used an evolution model to study how Salmonella adapts to subinhibitory…

Comparison of Antibacterial Activity of Phytochemicals against Common Foodborne Pathogens and Potential for Selection of Resistance

Ryan Sweet; Catherine Booth; Kathryn Gotts dkk.

Microorganisms, Vol. 11 No. 10 · 2023 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Antimicrobial resistance is now commonly observed in bacterial isolates from multiple settings, compromising the efficacy of current antimicrobial agents. Therefore, there is an urgent requirement for efficacious novel antimicrobials to be used as therapeutics, prophylactically or as preservatives…

Increased Usage of Antiseptics Is Associated with Reduced Susceptibility in Clinical Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

Katherine Hardy; Katie Sunnucks; Hannah Gil dkk.

mBio, Vol. 9 No. 3 · 2018 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

ABSTRACT Hospital-acquired infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and regimes to prevent infection are crucial in infection control. These include the decolonization of vulnerable patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage using antiseptics, including…

RedoxiBase: A database for ROS homeostasis regulated proteins

Bruno Savelli; Qiang Li; Mark Webber dkk.

Redox Biology, Vol. 26 · 2019 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

We present a new database, specifically devoted to ROS homeostasis regulated proteins. This database replaced our previous database, the PeroxiBase, which was focused only on various peroxidase families. The addition of 20 new protein families related with ROS homeostasis justifies the new name for…

Efflux Impacts Intracellular Accumulation Only in Actively Growing Bacterial Cells

Emily E. Whittle; Helen E. McNeil; Eleftheria Trampari dkk.

mBio, Vol. 12 No. 5 · 2021 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

This study shows that efflux is important for maintaining low intracellular accumulation only in actively growing cells and that envelope permeability is the predominant factor in stationary-phase cells. This conclusion means that (i) antibiotics with intracellular targets may be less effective in…

Prognostic Significance of Deregulated Dicer Expression in Breast Cancer

Emer Caffrey; Helen Ingoldsby; Deirdre Wall dkk.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 12 · 2013 · Inggris · PLOS Scopus

Background: Dicer, an RNase III-type endonuclease, is the key enzyme involved in RNA interference and microRNA pathways. Aberrant expression of Dicer is reported in several human cancers. Our aim was to assess the prognostic role of Dicer in breast cancer. Methods: The entire series comprised 666…

Digital image analysis and machine learning-assisted prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer

Timothy B. Fisher; Geetanjali Saini; T. S. Rekha dkk.

Breast Cancer Research, Vol. 26 No. 1 · 2024 · Inggris · DOAJ Scopus

Abstract Background Pathological complete response (pCR) is associated with favorable prognosis in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, only 30–40% of TNBC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) show pCR, while the remaining 60–70% show residual disease (RD)…
