This study found that bacterial biofilms were present in only two out of ten acute hidradenitis suppurativa lesions examined, suggesting a limited primary role for biofilms in early-stage lesions.

This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of Albizia saponaria stem bark against microorganisms causing dandruff and fungal alopecia. It found that the hexane fraction exhibited potent antifungal effects comparable to ketoconazole, highlighting its potential as a natural therapeutic for dandruff.

This study found that the S. epidermidis A/C lineage is more pathogenic due to its metabolic and genomic versatility, which allows it to adapt quickly from a commensal to a pathogenic lifestyle.

This review characterizes breast implant illness and its autoimmune symptoms, reporting an association between breast implants and autoimmune diseases, with explantation relieving symptoms in over half of patients.

This research demonstrated that transforming pomelo peel into expanded sponges and carbonized aerogels can accelerate hemostasis and enhance healing in diabetic wounds while eradicating bacterial biofilms, offering an eco-friendly solution for wound care from agricultural waste.

Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial for Cicatricial Alopecia, and treatment effectiveness varies among patients.

This article reviews the challenges in treating hidradenitis suppurativa and discusses potential treatment options, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and comprehensive care, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cold atmospheric plasma can accelerate wound healing processes and reduce bacterial growth, including drug-resistant strains, suggesting its potential as a novel treatment for chronic wounds.

In this study, carbon dots derived from dandelion herb demonstrated significant antibacterial and biofilm-disrupting capabilities, promoting wound healing in a mouse model infected with S. aureus, while also showing excellent biocompatibility and the ability to modulate reactive oxygen species.

The document concludes that better understanding the wound microbiome can improve chronic wound care by preserving helpful bacteria and targeting harmful ones.

This study found that using a shampoo containing heat-killed probiotics, GMNL-653, led to decreased dandruff and sebum production and increased hair growth in human participants, with observed microbiota shifts including changes in M. globosa and M. restricta abundance.

A new hydrogel can kill resistant bacteria and help heal infected burn wounds.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma can transiently inhibit bacterial growth in vitro against multidrug-resistant strains from diabetic foot infections, although its efficacy diminished over time and did not affect biofilm formation.

This study demonstrated that a strain of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi, identified as Pediococcus inopinatus, showed antibacterial activity against certain oral pathogens and effectively bleached stained artificial teeth and inhibited biofilm formation, offering potential for addressing teeth discoloration and halitosis.

In this case report, a persistent skin infection in a Bullykutta dog was resolved with a 10-day treatment regimen of Sulphamethoxazole, trimethoprim, omega fatty acids, and topical therapy after previous treatments failed.

In this study, researchers found that an antibacterial toner can penetrate keratin and sebum plugs and exhibits bactericidal effects against Cutibacterium acnes, as evidenced by a decrease in viable cell counts within artificial plugs inoculated with the bacteria.

This review discusses ciprofloxacin resistance mechanisms in bacteria and explores new approaches, such as combining it with other antibacterial agents, to enhance its effectiveness against resistant infections.

This study found that carbon dots derived from fucoidan effectively inhibit Enterococcus faecalis and its biofilm, offering a promising approach for managing biofilm-associated persistent endodontic infections.

This study reports that using a hydrogel-based therapy that dynamically regulates reactive oxygen species helps achieve skin regeneration in infected wounds, promoting organized dermal architecture with improved hair follicle and blood vessel formation, rather than scar formation.

This study found that duloxetine and escitalopram exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, while buspirone had selective effects, and finasteride disrupted yeast virulence traits, suggesting these drugs could be repurposed as antimicrobial therapies.

In this study, researchers found that silica nanoparticles synthesized using cold plasma showed a higher biofilm inhibition effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli compared to those made with a magnetic stirrer.

This study developed a directional pressure-pump hydrogel delivery platform that enhances wound healing in diabetic mechanically dynamic wounds by targeting antibacterial agents and nanozymes directly to the lesion site, disrupting biofilms, mitigating tissue damage, and supporting proper skin closure and vascular remodeling in animal models.

In this study, researchers developed a silk fibroin-based hydrogel with added curcumin and pluronic F127, which displayed antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and showed potential for skin tissue regeneration, without cytotoxicity.

This review discusses how functionalized hydrogels can modulate the microbiome to aid tissue regeneration and infection control, highlighting their potential to deliver therapeutic agents effectively and support beneficial immune responses.

This review found that tea tree oil, especially terpinen-4-ol, may be the most effective treatment for Demodex-related diseases, but more research is needed to improve treatment efficacy and reduce side effects.

This study found that biliverdin beta and delta, metabolites of heme, play a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa iron acquisition and cooperative behaviors, which are crucial for the bacterium's long-term infection in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting potential targets for new therapies.

This study discusses advancements in nanotechnology and theranostic dressings, which may significantly improve chronic wound care by effectively targeting biofilms and enabling real-time monitoring, although obstacles to broad applicability and sustainability remain.

In laboratory settings, this study found that finasteride repurposed as a quorum sensing inhibitor significantly reduced virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including biofilm formation by 45% and pyocyanin production by 49%, suggesting potential for treating infections.

This study observed that in patients with diabetic foot ulcers, an imbalance in skin microbiota, with increased pathogenic bacteria, contributes to infection and poor wound healing, and suggests that modulating microbiota composition might improve healing outcomes.

In this study, complete recovery from folliculitis dissecans was observed after intradermal botulinum toxin A injections, with the effect attributed to the host response rather than direct bacterial action.
