Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major cause of healthcare-associated infections including bacteremia. The rapid detection of MRSA is essential for prompt treatment and improved outcomes. However, traditional MRSA screening and confirmatory tests b...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical global health challenge, demanding rapid and accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) to guide timely treatments. Traditional culture-based AST methods are slow, while existing whole-gen...
Infective endocarditis, a life-threatening condition, poses challenges for early diagnosis and personalized treatment due to insufficient biomarkers and limited understanding of its pathophysiology. Here, we performed proteomic profiling of plasma an...
