BACKGROUND: Heteroresistance (HR) is a significant type of antibiotic resistance observed for several bacterial species and antibiotic classes where a susceptible main population contains small subpopulations of resistant cells. Mathematical models, ...
AIMS: C. albicans resistant strains have led to increasingly severe treatment challenges. Antimicrobial peptides with low resistance-inducing propensity for pathogens have been developed. A series of antimicrobial peptides de novo designed through ma...

Novel antifungal drugs that evade resistance are urgently needed for Candida infections. Antifungal peptides (AFPs) are potential candidates due to their specific mechanism of action, which makes them less prone to developing drug resistance. An AFP ...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have important developmental prospects as potential candidates for novel antibiotics. Although many studies have been devoted to the identification of AMPs and the qualitative prediction of their functional activities, f...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by , remains a significant global health threat, affecting an estimated 10.6 million people in 2022. The emergence of multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant strains necessitates the development of novel and effec...
Artificial intelligence holds great promise for the design of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs); however, current models face limitations in generating AMPs with sufficient novelty and diversity, and they are rarely applied to the generation of antifunga...
Mass spectrometry is used to determine infectious microbial species in thousands of clinical laboratories across the world. The vast amount of data allows modern data analysis methods that harvest more information and potentially answer new questions...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of mass spectral data generated by VITEK MS instruments for predicting antibiotic resistance in , , and ...
BACKGROUND: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a systemic infection that predisposes individuals to sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Early identification of infectious agents and determination of drug-resistant phenotypes can help patients...
