Belkys C. Sanchez,Emmaline R Heckmann,Sabrina I. Green,Justin R. Clark,Heidi B. Kaplan,Robert F. Ramig,Kenneth L. Muldrew,Casey Hines-Munson,Felicia Skelton,Barbara W. Trautner,Anthony W. Maresso +10 more
TL;DR: The development of phage cocktails that lyse contemporary E. coli strains isolated from the urine of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and display strong biofilm-forming properties are reported and may have therapeutic potential against CAUTI.
ASM Conference on Prokaryotic Development
TL;DR: The best-studied prokaryotic development model systems will be highlighted at the conference through research presentations by leaders in the field, and many of these systems have important practical applications including carbon sequestration, energy production, and bioremediation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Sterilization Techniques on Bioactivity of Polymethyl Methacrylate Antibiotic Beads Containing Vancomycin and Tobramycin.
James Shaw,Joshua L. Gary,Andrea L. Baker,Heidi B. Kaplan,Yesul Kim,Madison Milhoan,Andrew R. Burgess,Catherine G. Ambrose +7 more
TL;DR: PMMA beads containing vancomycin and tobramycin made in a sterile fashion and stored for up to 6 months have the same efficacy as the current standard of beads made sterile and used immediately, according to a study investigating the effects of sterilization technique and storage time on bioactivity of antibiotic polymethyl methacrylate beads.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the most common bacterial pathogens that cause LVAD driveline infections (DLIs) in a heart transplant referral center were identified and three bacteriophages were developed that were able to lyse 5 of 6 of the biofilm-forming S. aureus strains.
