Prediction of β-lactamase and its class by Chou's pseudo-amino acid composition and support vector machine.

Journal of theoretical biology
β-Lactam class of antibiotics is used as major therapeutic agent against a number of pathogenic microbes. The widespread and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infection has prompted evolution of several evading mechanisms from the ...

Decoding virulence and resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae: Pharmacological insights, immunological dynamics, and in silico therapeutic strategies.

Microbial pathogenesis
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has become a serious global health concern due to its rising virulence and antibiotic resistance. As one of the leading members of ESKAPE pathogens, it plays a major role in a wide range of infections that cause ...

DeepBL: a deep learning-based approach for in silico discovery of beta-lactamases.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Beta-lactamases (BLs) are enzymes localized in the periplasmic space of bacterial pathogens, where they confer resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. Experimental identification of BLs is costly yet crucial to understand beta-lactam resistance mechan...

Single and joint antibacterial activity of aqueous garlic extract and Manuka honey on extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistance and recent technological advances have renewed interest in natural product drug discovery from ancient remedies such as Allium sativum (garlic) and honey. This study assessed antibacterial activity of aqueous garlic e...
