BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health concern prompting researchers to seek alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attracting attention again as therapeutic agents with promising utility in ...
Early use of effective antimicrobial treatments is critical for the outcome of infections and the prevention of treatment resistance. Antimicrobial resistance testing enables the selection of optimal antibiotic treatments, but current culture-based t...
The complexity and multivariate analysis of biological systems and environment are the drawbacks of the current high-throughput sensing method and multianalyte identification. Deep learning (DL) algorithms contribute a big advantage in analyzing the ...
As a class of enzymes, esterases have been investigated for decades and have found use in industrial processes, synthetic organic chemistry, and elsewhere. Esters are functional groups composed of an alcohol moiety and a carboxylic acid moiety. Altho...
The enormous development and expansion of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains impel the intensive search for new methods for fast and reliable detection of antibiotic susceptibility markers. Here, we combined DNA-targeted surface functionalization...
Expert review of anti-infective therapy
Dec 16, 2021
INTRODUCTION: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to present major challenges to modern healthcare. Recent advances in whole-genome sequencing (WGS) have made the rapid molecular characterization of AMR a realistic possibility for diagnostic lab...
Antimicrobials against planktonic cells and established biofilms at low doses are in increasing demand to tackle antibiotic-resistant biofilm infections. As a promising alternative to antibiotics, cationic polymers can effectively kill planktonic mic...
Klebsiella pneumoniae has become the number one bacterial pathogen that causes high mortality in clinical settings worldwide. Clinical K. pneumoniae strains with carbapenem resistance and/or hypervirulent phenotypes cause higher mortality comparing w...
Fighting with the infection is one of the most challenging and costly burdens of the healthcare system. Several types of antibiotics and antibacterial agents have been designed and used in combating this dilemma. Nevertheless, the overuse of drugs an...
Since the discovery of penicillin, the development and use of antibiotics have promoted safe and effective control of bacterial infections. However, the number of antibiotic-resistance cases has been ever increasing over time. Thus, the drug discover...
