INTRODUCTION: The degree of antimicrobial resistance demonstrated by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) represents a growing public health challenge. Conventional methods for detecting CPE involve culture-based techniques with lengthy inc...
The emergence of Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) represents a major public health concern, primarily driven by its ability to evade a wide range of antibiotics. Despite extensive genomic studies, proteomic insights into antibiotic resistance mechanisms ...
Proteins are the molecular machines of life with numerous applications in energy, health, and sustainability. However, engineering proteins with desired functions for practical applications remains slow, expensive, and specialist-dependent. Here we r...
Bio-instructive materials that intrinsically inhibit biofilm formation have significant anti-biofouling potential in industrial and healthcare settings. Since bacterial surface attachment is sensitive to surface topography, we experimentally surveyed...

Fluorinated compounds are used for agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and numerous industrial applications, resulting in global contamination. In many molecules, fluorine is incorporated to enhance the half-life and improve bioavailability. Fluorinated co...
is a highly versatile and resilient pathogen that can infect different tissues and rapidly develop resistance to multiple drugs. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is an antibiotic often used to treat multidrug-resistant infections; however, the knowledge ...
The bacterial cell division protein FtsZ, a crucial GTPase, plays a vital role in the formation of the contractile Z-ring, which is essential for bacterial cytokinesis. Consequently, inhibiting FtsZ could prevent the formation of proto-filaments and ...
