Novel Chromogenic Beta-Lactamase Substrate for Diagnostic Biomaterials

Overview Chromogenic beta-lactamase substrates are used to diagnose bacterial infections. Yet those currently available lose their diagnostic color-change capability when chemically modified. We have synthesized a novel chromogenic beta-lactam molecule (“ANT”) that retains its color-change response when modified for conjugation to a range...

Tunable Antimicrobial-Loaded Gellan Hydrogels for Burn Wound Dressings

Overview The standard practice of treating burn wounds preventatively with broad-spectrum antibiotics contributes to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Exposure to systemic antibiotics also leads to toxicity in unaffected tissues. Using FDA-approved methods, we have developed a gellan hydrogel delivery system with tunable mechanical and...
