Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a notorious pathogen that has emerged as a serious global health concern over the past few decades. Staphylococcal accessory regulator A (SarA) and 4,4'-diapophytoene synthase (CrtM) play a crucia...
Chemical epigenetic cultivation of the sponge-derived fungus sp. SWMU-WZ04-1 contributed to the identification of twelve polyketide derivatives, including six new pestalotiopols E-J (-) and six known analogues (-). Their gross structures were deduce...
Accurate differentiation between bacterial and viral-induced pharyngitis is recognized as essential for personalized treatment and judicious antibiotic use. From a cohort of 693 patients with pharyngitis, data from 197 individuals clearly diagnosed w...
The discovery of novel structural classes of antibiotics is urgently needed to address the ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis. Deep learning approaches have aided in exploring chemical spaces; these typically use black box models and do not provide...
The marine peptide, American oyster defensin (AOD), is derived from and exhibits a potent bactericidal effect. However, recombinant preparation has not been achieved due to the high charge and hydrophobicity. Although the traditional fusion tags suc...
The development of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms prompted the investigation of possible antibiotic substitutes. As a result, the purpose of the current study is to assess the effect of dietary Spirulina platensis extract as an antibiotic altern...
