TL;DR: A fast, specific and sensitive homogeneous assay for Staphylococcus aureus detection was developed by measuring the activity of secreted nuclease from the bacteria via a modified DNA oligonucleotide, formed by nucleic acid oligos and magnetic or mesoporous silica nanoparticles.

TL;DR: Aptamer-gates caused a specific decrease in minimum inhibitory concentration values of vancomycin for Staphylococcus aureus when mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were used for bacteria-targeted delivery.

TL;DR: In this paper, mesoporous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) components were formed with the use of "molecular spacer" (a sacrificial vinyl-terminated linear siloxane which while decomposing during pyrolysis generates pores with size proportional to the molecular weight), followed by a post-pyrolyisation etching treatment by hydrofluoric acid (HF) to obtain C-rich SiOC samples having additional micro-/mesoporosity and specific surface area reaching to 774m2/g.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the production of probiotics in accordance with country-specific Bifidobacterium species densities would improve public health and country- specific prospective case-control studies that collect broad data sets are needed.

TL;DR: Teicoplanin delivery nanoparticles of Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA), which are functionalized with S. aureus specific aptamers, can be an attractive alternative to combat with some of the multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens.
