Limited therapy options due to antibiotic resistance underscore the need for optimization of current diagnostics. In some bacterial species, antimicrobial resistance can be unambiguously predicted based on their genome sequence. In this study, we seq...
BACKGROUND: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is emerging as a significant pathogen causing healthcare-associated infections. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS...
Spread of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolates is a main problem in the treatment of infectious diseases. Therefore, the modern scientific approaches in decision this problem require not only a prevention strategy, but also the deve...
Two novel compounds were isolated for the first time from Calycotome spinosa (L.) Link, an alkaloid 5-Hydroxy-1H-indole (4) and a cyclitol D-pinitol (5), together with the three well-known flavonoids; Chrysin-7-O-(β-D-glucopyranoside) (1), Chrysin-7-...

INTRODUCTION: The spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is difficult to control especially in the hospitals due to the successful mobilization and evolution of the genetic elements harboring the resistant determinants. The stu...
Antimicrobial susceptibility is slow to determine, taking several days to fully impact treatment. This proof-of-concept study assessed the feasibility of using machine-learning techniques for analysis of data produced by the flow cytometer-assisted ...
