Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the most important health problems and global action plans have been proposed globally. Prevention plays a key role in these actions plan and, in this context, we propose the use of Artificial Intelligence, ...
is an opportunistic agent that can cause a variety of infections, both hospital and community-acquired. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a flavonoid present in the leaves of , has different biological activities, including antimicrobial potential. H...
Raman optical spectroscopy promises label-free bacterial detection, identification, and antibiotic susceptibility testing in a single step. However, achieving clinically relevant speeds and accuracies remains challenging due to weak Raman signal from...

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes severe skin and soft tissue infections in hospitals and, more recently, in the community. Tedizolid is a new second-generation oxazolidinone derivative having greater in vitro po...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most important clinical pathogens, conducts an increasing number of morbidity and mortality in the world. Rapid and accurate strain typing of bacteria would facilitate epidemiological inv...
This paper describes Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) studies, molecular docking and in vitro antibacterial activity of several potent imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and its clinical isolate. Sm...
Design of therapeutically viable antimicrobial peptides with cell selectivity against microorganisms is an important step towards the development of new antimicrobial agents. Here, we report four de novo designed, short amphipathic sequences based on...
