Journal Article
Robertson, S. N., Romero, M., Fenn, S., Riedi, P. L. K., & Cámara, M. (2024). Development, characterization, and evaluation of a simple polymicrobial colony biofilm model for testing of antimicrobial wound dressings. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 135(3), Article lxae042. https://doi.org/10.1093/jambio/lxae042

Chronic wound infections are generally of polymicrobial nature with aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as fungi frequently observed in them. Wound treatment involves a series of steps, including debridement of the wound, flushing, and often the...

Ciprofloxacin poly(β-amino ester) conjugates enhance antibiofilm activity and slow the development of resistance (2024)
Journal Article
Kasza, K., Richards, B., Jones, S., Romero, M., Robertson, S. N., Hardie, K. R., …Alexander, C. (2024). Ciprofloxacin poly(β-amino ester) conjugates enhance antibiofilm activity and slow the development of resistance. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 16(5), 5412-5425. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.3c14357

To tackle the emerging antibiotic resistance crisis, novel antimicrobial approaches are urgently needed. Bacterial biofilms are a particular concern in this context as they are responsible for over 80% of bacterial infections and are inherently more...

Journal Article
Soukarieh, F., Mashabi, A., Richardson, W., Oton, E. V., Romero, M., Dubern, J., …Cámara, M. (2024). Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of New 1H-Benzo[d]imidazole Based PqsR Inhibitors as Adjuvant Therapy for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 67(2), 1008-1023. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c00973

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the top priority pathogens that requires immediate attention according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Due to the alarming shortage of novel antimicrobials, targeting quorum sensing (QS), a bacterial cell to c...
