Ancient viral fossils in bacteria may hold the secret to next-generation antiviral defences.
Algorithmic methods to antibiotic discovery are reaching a state of performance that can meaningfully influence how novel antibacterial molecules are discovered.
The bacteria studied were Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis. These organisms are associated with human skin and they can form biofilms.
There are concerns that agricultural AMP generates cross-resistant bacteria that could then overcome the human innate immune response.
The twinning of machine learning algorithms and laboratory testing can aid in the acceleration of discovering new antimicrobials.
Understanding where risks antimicrobial exist and what drives risk are critical first steps to ensuring a resilient supply chain.
Co-infections with multiple pathogens are not typically taken into account when calculating antimicrobial dosages – yet understanding this can help in the fight against...
Plants present a generally untapped resource for discovering bioactive compounds. Some of these have the potential to address the antimicrobial drug development pipeline.
Scientists rom The Wistar Institute have developed a new class of dual-acting immuno-antibiotics. These drugs appear capable of blocking an essential pathway in bacteria...
