Pathogenic bacteria pose serious threats to public health and environmental safety. Conventional colony counting, a standard method for bacterial detection, is time-consuming and unsuitable for rapid on-site detection. In this work, a flexible ACH/Ag...
Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
Nov 18, 2025
BACKGROUND: The transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in intensive care units (ICUs) poses a significant challenge to infection control and patient safety. While direct patient-to-patient transmission is well documented, the relative contribu...

Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to global public health and requires new therapeutic approaches. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are recognized as promising candidates to address antimicrobial resistance. AMP can disrupt cell membranes by i...
It is essential to eliminate harmful microbes from vital aspects of our lives, including dental instruments and other healthcare devices, cosmetics, foods, and products that come into contact with them. Electrical stimulation (ES) has been proposed t...
For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells t...
Ionic liquids (ILs) with tunable structures have emerged as promising next-generation biocides. In this study, we presented an ML-based q-RASTR framework, along with i-qRASTTR approach, to predict the toxicity of ILs against different bacteria. Vario...
Resistance to antimicrobial agents has become a global threat, estimated to cause 10-million deaths annually by 2050. Antimicrobial peptides are emerging as an alternative and offer advantages over traditional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides gene...
Bio-instructive materials that intrinsically inhibit biofilm formation have significant anti-biofouling potential in industrial and healthcare settings. Since bacterial surface attachment is sensitive to surface topography, we experimentally surveyed...
The prevalence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is a global public health problem. This study aims to identify the risk factors of CRPA infection and construct a machine learning model to provide a prediction tool for ...
is a highly versatile and resilient pathogen that can infect different tissues and rapidly develop resistance to multiple drugs. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is an antibiotic often used to treat multidrug-resistant infections; however, the knowledge ...
