BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY OF CERAGENIN IN COMBINATION WITH CEFTAZIDIME, LEVOFLOXACIN, CO-TRIMOXAZOLE, AND COLISTIN AGAINST THE OPPORTUNISTIC PATHOGEN STENOTROPHOMONAS MALTOPHILIA

Bactericidal Activity of Ceragenin in Combination with Ceftazidime, Levofloxacin, Co-Trimoxazole, and Colistin against the Opportunistic Pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Background: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S.maltophilia) is an emerging opportunistic Gram-negative rod causing nosocomial infections predominantly in immunocompromised patients.Due to its broad intrinsic resistance to antibiotics, including carbapenems and the ability to form a biofilm, it is difficult to eradicate.Methods: In this study, the bene

Adaptive Distributed Fixed-Time Cooperative Three-Dimensional Guidance Law for Multimissiles against Manoeuvring Target

The problem of cooperative interception of the manoeuvring target is investigated in this paper.Firstly, in light of fast fixed-time consensus theory, time-to-go, and undirected topologies, adaptive cooperative Lycopene guidance along the line-of-sight (LOS) direction is proposed to guarantee impact time synchronization.Next, novel nonsingular term
