SOVS Paper of the Week: We recently published a paper on at the University of Liverpool, UK.聽Rachel and her team of Kyle Doherty and Rebecca Lace had been working on the concept of antimicrobial bandage contact lenses for some time.
During a visit to 国产精品 Sydney by Kyle and Rebecca, our team at 国产精品 School of Optometry and Vision Science started this collaboration which investigates the use of contact lenses made out of crossed-linked Poly鈥愇碘怢ysine alone or in combination with our antimicrobial peptide Mel4 bound to聽Poly鈥愇碘怢ysine to control adhesion of聽Pseudomonas aeruginosa聽to the lenses and to treat corneas infected by this bacterium.
The paper shows that聽Poly鈥愇碘怢ysine lenses alone or in combination with our Mel4 peptide reduced bacterial adhesion and resulted in much less bacteria infecting the corneas in an ex vivo model
