The emergence of antibiotic resistance (AMR) is a global public health problem. According to estimates, drug-resistant bacteria infect 2 million patients and perish 23,000 annually. To overcome this problem, antimicrobial peptides became a potential ...
The increasing prevalence of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a global healthcare crisis. Understanding the spread of resistance is predicated on the surveillance of antibiotic resistance genes within an environment. Bioinformati...
Neural-like P systems with plasmids (NP P systems, in short) are a kind of distributed and parallel computing systems inspired by the activity that bacteria process DNA such as plasmids. An important biological fact is that one or more pili have exis...
Metagenomics is a technique for genome-wide profiling of microbiomes; this technique generates billions of DNA sequences called reads. Given the multiplication of metagenomic projects, computational tools are necessary to enable the efficient and acc...
Dietary components and bioactive molecules present in functional foods and nutraceuticals provide various beneficial effects including modulation of host gut microbiome. These metabolites along with orally administered drugs can be potentially bio-tr...

The current study explores an artificial intelligence framework for measuring the structural features from microscopy images of the bacterial biofilms. Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20 (DA-G20) grown on mild steel surfaces is used as a model for sulfate ...
Rapid and early identification of pathogens is critical to guide antibiotic therapy. Raman spectroscopy as a noninvasive diagnostic technique provides rapid and accurate detection of pathogens. Raman spectrum of single cells serves as the "fingerprin...

In assessing food microbial safety, the presence of Escherichia coli is a critical indicator of fecal contamination. However, conventional detection methods require the isolation of bacterial macrocolonies for biochemical or genetic characterization,...
Accurate detection and segmentation of single cells in three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence time-lapse images is essential for observing individual cell behaviors in large bacterial communities called biofilms. Recent progress in machine-learning-base...
