BACKGROUND: Rapid and accurate identification of bacteria is required in order to develop effective treatment strategies. Traditional culture-based methods are time-consuming, while MALDI-TOF MS is expensive. The Raman spectroscopy, due to its relati...
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) potentially represents a rapid approach for antimicrobial resistance genotype-to-phenotype prediction. However, the challenge still exists to predict fully minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and antimicrobial susce...
Pathogenic gram-negative bacteria frequently carry genes encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and/or carbapenemases. Of great concern are carbapenem resistant , , and . Despite the need for rapid AMR diagnostics globally, current molecu...
Bioactive peptides, as small protein fragments, are essential mediators of diverse physiological activities, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions. Despite their substantial potential in pha...
Fast and accurate detection of infectious bacteria in wounds is crucial for effective clinical treatment. However, traditional methods take over 24 h to yield results, which is inadequate for urgent clinical needs. Here, we introduce a deep learning-...

Essential oils (EOs) exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities; however, their clinical application is hindered by challenges, such as variability in chemical composition and chemical/physical instability. A critical limitation is the lack of...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising approach to identify new antimicrobial compounds in diverse microbial species. Here we developed an AI-based, explainable deep learning model, EvoGradient, that predicts the potency of antimicrobial peptide...
Artificial intelligence holds great promise for the design of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs); however, current models face limitations in generating AMPs with sufficient novelty and diversity, and they are rarely applied to the generation of antifunga...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive candidates to combat antibiotic resistance for their capability to target biomembranes and restrict a wide range of pathogens. It is a daunting challenge to discover novel AMPs due to their sparse distribu...
