This study suggests that UVA-responsive nanocapsules may provide an effective method for skin antisepsis by releasing ethanol and reducing microorganisms within hair follicles on ex vivo porcine ear skin.

This study found that three mousse products containing chlorhexidine and varying antifungal components maintained significant antibacterial activity against S. pseudintermedius in vitro for up to 10 days, while other mousses did not show significant differences.

Many skin products get contaminated with bacteria, especially if they're in jars or previously opened.

This research presentation explored the roles of mammalian multi-copper ferroxidases in iron homeostasis and highlighted new insights into their functions, including non-iron-related ones, while discussing arsenic's role in microbial warfare as a potential antibiotic.

In this study, prophylactic treatment with a neutralizing monoclonal antibody against α-toxin reduced wound sizes and bacterial burden while enhancing healing in both non-diabetic and diabetic mice with S. aureus skin infections.

Selective chemical epilation effectively treats tinea capitis without harmful side effects.

This case study of a patient with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp found that multiple medications, including isotretinoin, achieved only modest improvement, and symptoms returned after treatments were stopped.

This review examined photothermal hydrogels, biomedically innovative materials responsive to near-infrared stimulation, which hold promise for enhancing infection control and tissue regeneration. The authors highlighted their unique properties, construction methods, and potential applications while also discussing existing challenges and future research directions.

In this study, a novel silver nanowires/collagen I/bacterial cellulose dressing demonstrated strong antibacterial activity and enhanced wound healing capabilities, while showing improved cytocompatibility and mechanical properties compared to traditional silver nanowire-based dressings.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This review article highlighted the diverse applications of functionalized materials from bacterial cellulose, detailing advances in both in situ and ex situ methods for enhancing these materials' properties, particularly for medical applications, and proposed directions for future research.

This study observed that S.epidermidis was more prevalent in normal skin, whereas P.acne was more common in acne lesions among Egyptian patients; antibiotic treatments may not be the most effective for acne, highlighting alternative therapies like retinoids or lasers.

In this study, a novel biofilm-dispersing wound gel did not interfere with healing and may enhance it by reducing inflammation in murine models with full-thickness skin wounds.

Ozenoxacin 1% cream is an effective and safe treatment for impetigo in children and adults.

This study reports that triboelectro-responsive DNA hydrogels, enhanced with conductive polymers and triboelectric stimulation, effectively accelerate wound healing and exhibit strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, achieving 99.8% closure of bacterium-infected diabetic wounds in 14 days.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

This study found that alkaloids isolated from Eclipta alba leaves showed increasing antimicrobial activity with higher concentrations, particularly against S. aureus and E. coli, suggesting potential for developing antimicrobial agents.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

A three-year-old girl survived a rare serious infection caused by BCG vaccination, which improved after treatment with a leprosy drug.

This review discusses the use of microbial biosurfactants as a safer alternative to chemical surfactants in cosmetics due to their antibacterial, moisturizing, and low toxicity properties, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this report, a 26-year-old man with folliculitis decalvans unresponsive to standard treatments experienced significant disease clearance after 25 months of systemic photodynamic therapy, marking the first documented use of this therapy for this condition.

This study reports that oral rifampicin effectively treated the pustular lesions of tufted hair folliculitis in a 47-year-old woman, with no relapses after one year.

This study shows that inhibiting anti-apoptotic proteins BCL-W and BCL-XL can specifically induce apoptosis in senescent cells, suggesting a potential strategy for treating age-related pathologies.

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 topical mousse treatments containing chlorhexidine and other active ingredients showed significant antibacterial effects on both skin and hair in short-haired dogs, but mainly on hair in long-haired dogs, suggesting hair evaluations might overestimate skin-level efficacy.

This study found that integrating Lactobacillus-rich probiotic nutrition and fractional CO₂ laser therapy with clotrimazole in mucoadhesive hydrogels significantly improved clinical and structural outcomes for women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, suggesting a promising advanced therapy, though further validation in larger trials is needed.

This chapter discusses the synthesis and analysis of near-infrared fluorescent activity-based probes for imaging cysteine protease activity, reporting potential benefits for disease diagnosis but noting challenges in imaging specific locations with high cathepsin activity.

This research review identified improved outcomes in acne treatment when oral probiotics or topical probiotic-derived formulations were added to standard therapies, with probiotics reducing acne severity and enhancing safety and tolerability compared to treatments such as 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide and Doxycycline.
