The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a recognized cause of community-acquired and hospital infections has brought about a need for the efficient and accurate identification of peptides with anti-MRSA properties in dr...
Developing effective antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria remains challenging due to their protective outer membrane. With this study, we investigated the relationship between antibiotic permeation through the OmpF porin of and antimicrobial e...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotics are essential for medical procedures, food security, and public health. However, ill-advised usage leads to increased pathogen resistance to antimicrobial substances, posing a threat of fatal infections and limiting the benefi...
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistances pose significant challenges in health care systems. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) represent a potential strategy for promoting a more targeted and guideline-based use of antibiotics. The integration o...

INTRODUCTION: The emergence of foodborne multidrug-resistant (MDR) has attracted considerable global attention. Given that food is the primary transmission route, our study focuses on , a freshwater snail that is commonly consumed as a specialty foo...
With the explosive increase in genome sequence data, perhaps the major challenge in natural-product-based drug discovery is the identification of gene clusters most likely to specify new chemistry and bioactivities. We discuss the challenges and stat...
The increase in antimicrobial resistance presents a major challenge in treating bacterial infections, underscoring the need for innovative drug discovery approaches and novel inhibitors. Bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) has emerged as a crucial target...
BACKGROUND: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has raised concerns about a potential link between trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and an increased risk of acute respiratory failure/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARF/ARDS) in heal...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a significant global challenge, creating an urgent need for rapid and sensitive antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods to guide timely treatment decisions. Traditional AST techniques, such as broth ...
