Bactericidal activity and mechanism of action of copper-sputtered flexible surfaces against multidrug-resistant pathogens

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

Using direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS), we generated flexible copper polyester surfaces (Cu-PES) and investigated their antimicrobial activity against a range of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens including eight Gram-positive isolates (three me ...

Development of potent and selective S. aureus sortase A inhibitors Based on Peptide Macrocycles

Christian Heinis, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Davide Bertoldo

Sortases are transpeptidase enzymes that anchor surface proteins, including virulence factors, to the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria, and they are potential targets for the development of anti-infective agents. While several large compound libraries w ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Effectiveness of an Innovative Silver-Copper Nanoparticle Coating of Catheters To Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

In this study, silver/copper (Ag/Cu)-coated catheters were investigated for their efficacy in preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in vitro and in vivo. Ag and Cu were sputtered (67/33% atomic ratio) on polyurethane cathe ...

Sensitive and fast identification of bacteria in blood samples by immunoaffinity mass spectrometry for quick BSI diagnosis

Hubert Girault, Horst Pick, Niels Erik Lion, Natalia Gasilova, Michel Prudent, Liang Qiao, Yingdi Zhu, Alexandra Bondarenko

Bloodstream infections rank among the most serious causes of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, partly due to the long period (up to one week) required for clinical diagnosis. In this work, we have developed a sensitive method to quickly and ...
