Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the following formula (I), wherein: m represents an integer being equal to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, X represents a simple bond or a radical —CHR1 wherein R1 represents:—a hydrogen atom, or—a linear or branched, possibly interrupted by up to 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S or N and/or possibly substituted, (C1-C12)-alkyl, R2, R3 and R4 represent independently from each other:—a hydrogen atom, or—a linear or branched (C1-C12-alkyl or (C1-C12)-acyl R5 represents:—a hydrogen atom, or—a linear or branched, possibly substituted, (C1-C13)-alkyi possibly substituted and possibly interrupted by up to 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S or N, R6 represents:—a hydrogen atom, or—a linear or branched possibly substituted (C1-C12)-alkyl, possibly substituted and possibly interrupted by up to 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S or N, for their use as antibacterial drugs for the treatment and/or the prevention of infection(s) caused by biofilm-forming bacteria.

Abstract: Disclosed are a 5-(2,6-dioxyphenyl)tetrazole-containing polymer, a method for preparing the same, a membrane containing the same and an electrochemical device, particularly a high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, including the membrane. The membrane containing the 5-(2,6-dioxyphenyl)tetrazole-containing polymer is capable of providing high proton conductivity and exhibiting good mechanical properties, thereby capable of providing superior fuel cell performance. Accordingly, the membrane may be usefully used in an electrochemical device, particularly a fuel cell, more particularly a high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nanocrystalline photocatalyst active upon visible light irradiation, with a high degree of dispersion, stable in the form of a transparent colloidal solution in an aqueous environment, containing nanocrystals of titanium dioxide (TiO2) surface-modified via direct chemisorption of organic compounds. The present invention in turn relates to a method of producing the material as well as its use as a photosterilizer, photobacteriocide, photomycocide, and/or photocatalyst, in particular for the sterilization of glass surfaces, transparent plastics and transparent materials, in particular contact lenses, medical catheters, glass and plastic conduits as well as other surfaces, whose sterilization is desirable and/or required.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new bacterial strain of Samonella enterica serovar Typhimurium VNP20009 deposited in the Polish Collection of Microorganisms under access no. B/00024 and its us in the production of a vaccine, especially an anti-cancer vaccine. The present invention also relates to a method of obtaining a therapeutic vaccine vector, characterized in that a genetic modification is introduced into the vector strain specific to cancer cells, resulting in the delayed over expression of a gene encoding a protein responsible for the invasive ability of this strain.
