is a Gram-negative bacillus included among the six "ESKAPE" microbial species with an outstanding ability to "escape" currently used antibiotics and developing new antibiotics against it is of the highest priority. Whereas minimum inhibitory concent...
The de novo design of antimicrobial therapeutics involves the exploration of a vast chemical repertoire to find compounds with broad-spectrum potency and low toxicity. Here, we report an efficient computational method for the generation of antimicrob...

α-amylase is known to have antibiofilm activity against biofilms of both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Partially purified α-amylase from Bacillus subtilis was found to have inhibit biofilm formed by P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. T...
We present a novel Java-based program denominated PeptiDesCalculator for computing peptide descriptors. These descriptors include: redefinitions of known protein parameters to suite the peptide domain, generalization schemes for the global descriptio...
Variation in the genome of , an important pathogen, can have dramatic impacts on the bacterium's ability to cause disease. We therefore asked whether it was possible to predict the virulence of isolates based on their genomic content. We applied a m...
Promoter recognition is an important part of functional genomic annotation but a difficult problem. Many studies have been carried out to address this issue. However, they still cannot meet application needs. Most of the methods exhibit specificity, ...
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...

A series of new asymmetric bisamidine was designed, synthesized, and tested for their in-vitro antibacterial activity using a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Most compounds demonstrated powerful antibacterial activity, and interes...
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...
BACKGROUND: A critical goal in biology is to relate the phenotype to the genotype, that is, to find the genetic determinants of various traits. However, while simple monofactorial determinants are relatively easy to identify, the underpinnings of com...
