Marine antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a promising source for combating infections, especially against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and traditionally challenging infections. However, traditional drug discovery methods face challenges such a...
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for bacterial identification but its use for detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains limited....
UNLABELLED: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health threat worldwide. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has opened unprecedented opportunities to accelerate AMR mechanism discovery and diagnostics. Here, we present an integrative approach to...
There remains a clinical need for better approaches to rapid drug susceptibility testing in view of the increasing burden of multidrug resistant tuberculosis. Binary susceptibility phenotypes only capture changes in minimum inhibitory concentration w...
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) plays a critical role in assessing the resistance of individual microbial isolates and determining appropriate antimicrobial therapeutics in a timely manner. However, conventional AST normally takes up to 72...
Many antimicrobial peptides directly disrupt bacterial membranes yet can also damage mammalian membranes. It is therefore central to their therapeutic use that rules governing the membrane selectivity of antimicrobial peptides be deciphered. However,...

In this study, 80 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and 160 carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CS-KP) strains detected in the clinic were selected and their matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass s...
With antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rapidly evolving in pathogens, quick and accurate identification of genetic determinants of phenotypic resistance is essential for improving surveillance, stewardship, and clinical mitigation. Machine learning (ML)...
Host defense peptide (HDP)-mimicking polymers are promising therapeutic alternatives to antibiotics and have large-scale untapped potential. Artificial intelligence (AI) exhibits promising performance on large-scale chemical-content design, however, ...
