Details
The frequency of the advent of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Aminoglycosides have worldwide use for over seventy years as traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications. Oxazolidinones is a relatively new antibiotic used for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. However, acquired resistance to these two antibiotics restricts their use in clinical treatment. The combination of two antibiotics, which have different antimicrobial mechanisms in one molecule, proved a promising strategy to overcome bacterial resistance. The developed hybrid antibiotics in this project are hopeful to have a broad antibacterial spectrum, low toxicity, and low resistance frequency.
The most common types of electrolytes in lithium battery electrolyte systems are represented by carbonate based and ether-based electrolytes. With the rise of high concentration electrolytes in the past decade, battery electrolytes have further developed, energy density has steadily increased, and significant progress has been made in safety and stability. The purpose of this speech is to compare carbonate based and ether-based electrolytes, and to explain the advantages and disadvantages of HCE.
