Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major problem globally. The main bacterial organisms associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) sepsis are E. coli and Klebsiella along Enterobacter species. These all have AMR strains known as ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase), which featured on the WHO priority pathogens list “critical” for research. Bacteriophages (phages), viruses that can infect kill bacteria, could provide an effective tool to tackle these strains. There currently no “gold...

Nonthermal plasma is a promising novel therapy for the alteration of biological and clinical functions cells tissues, including apoptosis inhibition tumor progression. This generates reactive oxygen nitrogen species (RONS), which play major role in anticancer effects. Previous research has verified that jets can selectively induce various cancer cells, suggesting it could be potentially effective combination with or as an alternative to conventional therapeutic methods. In this study, we...
