Immobilization of antibacterial dihydropyrrol-2-ones on functional polymer supports to prevent bacterial infections in vivo by Rice, Scott A., Kumar, Naresh, Ho, Kitty Ka Kit, Cole, Nerida, Chen, Renxun, Willcox, Mark D. P.

“…Antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is of great concern, as it causes a wide range of life-threatening infections. The current study demonstrates that dihydropyrrolone (DHP)-coated polyacrylamide substrates are effective in reducing the number of culturable clinical isolates of S. aureus in vitro in a dose-dependent manner and are able to reduce the pathogenic potential of staphylococcal infection in a subcutaneous infection model. …”

NIR “matchbox size” spectrometer can quantify and detect malaria infection in Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells by Adegoke, John A., Kochan, Kamila, Heraud, Philip, Wood, Bayden R.

“…New point-of-care diagnostic approaches for malaria that are highly sensitive, portable and affordable are urgently needed to meet the World Health Organization’s objective of reducing malaria cases and related life losses by at least 90% globally on or before 2030.1 In this study, an ultra-cheap matchbox size near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometer was used for the first time to detect and quantify malaria infection in vitro from isolated dried red blood cells using a fingerpick volume (15 μl) of blood, down to 0.0001% parasitemia.…”
