Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) infections and their devastating consequences constitute a global problem and a constant threat to public health with immense costs for their treatment. Early identification of the pathogen and its antibiotic resistance pro...
MOTIVATION: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is becoming a huge problem in both developed and developing countries, and identifying strains resistant or susceptible to certain antibiotics is essential in fighting against antibiotic-resistant pathogens....

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to global health and new approaches to combating AMR are needed. Use of machine learning in addressing AMR is in its infancy but has made promising steps. We reviewed the current literatur...
OBJECTIVES: Shigellosis is an acute infection of the intestine caused by bacteria in the genus Shigella and also an important cause of diarrhea in developing countries. This study was carried out to find the extent and nature of the emerging resistan...
Effect of human inherent immunity factors of, a gene-encoded antibacterial peptide indolicidin (Ind) and a cytokine interleukin 1 (IL1) on formation of antibiotic-tolerant persister cells surviving in the presence of ciprofloxacin (Cpf, 100 μg/mL) an...
Survival of bacterial populations treated with lethal doses of antibiotics is ensured by the presence of very small numbers of persister cells. Unlike antibiotic-resistant cells, antibiotic tolerance of persisters is not inheritable and reversible. T...
