Main-Chain Sulfonium-Containing Homopolymers with Negligible Hemolytic Toxicity for Eradication of Bacterial and Fungal Biofilms.

ACS macro letters
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...

Genome-Wide Mutation Scoring for Machine-Learning-Based Antimicrobial Resistance Prediction.

International journal of molecular sciences
The prediction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) based on genomic information can improve patient outcomes. Genetic mechanisms have been shown to explain AMR with accuracies in line with standard microbiology laboratory testing. To translate genetic ...

Artificial intelligence for the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents for emerging infectious diseases.

Drug discovery today
The search for effective drugs to treat new and existing diseases is a laborious one requiring a large investment of capital, resources, and time. The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a painful reminder of the lack of development of new ...

Machine Learning Data Augmentation as a Tool to Enhance Quantitative Composition-Activity Relationships of Complex Mixtures. A New Application to Dissect the Role of Main Chemical Components in Bioactive Essential Oils.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Scientific investigation on essential oils composition and the related biological profile are continuously growing. Nevertheless, only a few studies have been performed on the relationships between chemical composition and biological data. Herein, th...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning assisted drug delivery for effective treatment of infectious diseases.

Advanced drug delivery reviews
In the era of antimicrobial resistance, the prevalence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms that resist conventional antibiotic treatment has steadily increased. Thus, it is now unquestionable that infectious diseases are significant global burdens ...

Predicting antimicrobial mechanism-of-action from transcriptomes: A generalizable explainable artificial intelligence approach.

PLoS computational biology
To better combat the expansion of antibiotic resistance in pathogens, new compounds, particularly those with novel mechanisms-of-action [MOA], represent a major research priority in biomedical science. However, rediscovery of known antibiotics demons...

The role of artificial intelligence in the battle against antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.

Current genetics
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria is a global health crisis due to the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and the lengthy development of new antimicrobials. In light of this, artificial intelligence in the form of machine learni...

Hg(II) sensing, catalytic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer potential of Garcinia mangostana and α-mangostin mediated silver nanoparticles.

Chemosphere
This study reports synthesis of Garcinia mangostana fruit pericarp (unwanted waste material) and α-mangostin mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). These AgNPs were efficiently produced using 1:10 (extract and salt) ratio under stirring and heating, ...

Fusaroxazin, a novel cytotoxic and antimicrobial xanthone derivative from .

Natural product research
Oxazines and their derivatives are an uncommon natural heterocyclic compounds, which contain oxygen and nitrogen atoms and possess various bioactivities. A novel 1,4-oxazine-xanthone derivative, fusarioxazin () and three known sterols () were separat...

A Study of the Chemistries, Growth Mechanisms, and Antibacterial Properties of Cerium- and Yttrium-Containing Nanoparticles.

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
Under the current climate, physicians prescribe antibiotics for treating bacterial infections, and such a limitation to a single class of drugs is disadvantageous since antibiotic-resistant bacteria have adapted to withstanding their stresses. Antibi...
