Collaborative Research Spotlight: Breaking Barriers in Antibiotic Resistance

We are proud to announce that the groundbreaking research of Helena Arellano, in collaboration with the University of Lille laboratories (UCCS, INRAe, IEMN), has been recently recognized by the Institute Laue Langevin (ILL). The publication, titled “Influence of Critical Micelle Concentration of Choline-Based Long Chain Fatty Acid Soaps on Their Antibacterial Activity Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus,” highlights a significant advancement in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The study focuses on the synthesis of LCFA-choline solutions and the quantitative testing of their effectiveness against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a major public health concern. Through the collaboration with ILL, researchers were able to refine the development process and perform detailed analyses of the antibacterial properties of these compounds.

This recognition underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing scientific knowledge and finding innovative solutions to global challenges such as antibiotic resistance.
