    Abstract: An unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) recovery system for in-flight recovery of a fixed wing UAV includes a catching device and a plurality of hover-capable drones, such as multi-rotors. The catching device is for catching the fixed wing UAV via a hook system during flight of the fixed wing UAV and takes the form of a line between the recovery drones. The recovery drones are arranged to support the catching device as it spans a gap in a horizontal orientation with the catching device suspended between at least two recovery drones that are in flight and spaced apart horizontally from each other either side of the gap. During a recovery operation the recovery drones co-ordinate their movement to adopt a flight path relative to a flight path of the fixed wing UAV to define a virtual runway for interception of the fixed wing UAV by the recovery system.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an agent, or a composition containing an agent, for use in treating or preventing a bacterial infection in a subject, wherein said agent comprises: (i) an oligopeptidic compound comprising a PCNA interacting motif and a domain that facilitates the cellular uptake of said compound, wherein the PCNA interacting motif is X1X2X3X4X5 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and wherein: X1 is a basic amino acid; X2 is an aromatic amino acid; X3 is an uncharged amino acid other than an aromatic amino acid, Glycine (G) and Proline (P); X4 is any amino acid other than Proline (P), an acidic amino acid or an aromatic amino acid; and X5 is a basic amino acid or Proline (P); or (ii) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence encoding the oligopeptidic compound of (i). In certain aspects the agent and compositions of the invention may be used as single agents. In other aspects of the invention agents and compositions of the invention may be used in conjunction with one or more additional active agents, such as antibiotics.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an agent, or a composition containing an agent, for use in treating or preventing a bacterial infection in a subject, wherein said agent comprises: (i) an oligopeptidic compound comprising a PCNA interacting motif and a domain that facilitates the cellular uptake of said compound, wherein the PCNA interacting motif is X1X2X3X4X5X6 (SEQ ID NO: 1) and wherein: X1 is a basic amino acid; X2 is an aromatic amino acid; X3 is an aromatic amino acid or a hydrophobic amino acid that has an R group comprising at least three carbon atoms; X4 is an uncharged amino acid other than an aromatic amino acid, Glycine (G) and Proline (P); X5 is any amino acid other than an acidic amino acid or an aromatic amino acid; and X6 is any amino acid other than an acidic amino acid or an aromatic amino acid, preferably a basic amino acid or Proline (P), wherein when X3 is not an aromatic amino acid, X5 is not lysine (K) and X6 is a basic amino acid or Proline (P); or (ii) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence encoding the oligopeptidic compound of (i). In certain aspects the agent and composition of the invention may be used as single agents. In other aspects of the invention the agents and composition may be used in conjunction with one or more addition active agents, such as antibiotics, or in combination with UV radiation.
