The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a huge threat to the treatment of infections. Antimicrobial peptides are a class of short peptides that widely exist in organisms and are considered as potential substitutes for traditional antibio...
A biofilm constitutes a bacterial community encased in a sticky matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. These intricate microbial communities adhere to various host surfaces such as hard and soft tissues as well as indwelling medical devices. T...
Infections from multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria have emerged as a paramount global health concern, and the therapeutic effectiveness of current treatments is swiftly diminishing. An urgent need exists to explore innovative strategies for counterin...
Protein structures are essential to understanding cellular processes in molecular detail. While advances in artificial intelligence revealed the tertiary structure of proteins at scale, their quaternary structure remains mostly unknown. We devise a s...
Bacterial infections, increasingly resistant to common antibiotics, pose a global health challenge. Traditional diagnostics often depend on slow cell culturing, leading to empirical treatments that accelerate antibiotic resistance. We present a novel...

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to characterize extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase genes in bacteria from the environment in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.
When grown on agar surfaces, microbes can produce distinct multicellular spatial structures called colonies, which contain characteristic sizes, shapes, edges, textures, and degrees of opacity and color. For over one hundred years, researchers have u...
The ability to effectively represent microbiome dynamics is a crucial challenge in their quantitative analysis and engineering. By using autoencoder neural networks, we show that microbial growth dynamics can be compressed into low-dimensional repres...
Culture plating is worldwide accepted as the gold standard for quantifying viable foodborne pathogens. However, it is time-consuming (1-2 days) and requires specialized laboratory and personnel. This study reported a deep learning enhanced digital mi...
