Superbugs may be tough, but personalized medicine and cutting-edge tech are here to put them in their place!
Antibiotic resistance
Phages can be used as personalized medicine to combat bacterial infections for which antibiotics are no longer efficient alone.
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria leads to competition between ribosomes and ATP (energy) molecules for cellular magnesium.
To combat growing antimicrobial resistance, scientists develop a novel synthetic strategy, granting access to improved drug candidates.
Machine learning is used in genetic information of microbes to pinpoint peptides that they use against other microbes and bacteria.
Effective poop transplants work by competing for resources with inflammatory microbes (in mice).
Since many people have close relationships with their dogs, the chance of transmission is high.
The origins of antibiotics span far beyond the 20th century, including an 1,000-year-old empirical recipe termed Bald’s eyesalve.
Bedaquiline is a life-saving antibiotic used in the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (TB), but until July 2023 when secondary patents were dropped, it came at a steep cost.
