Preventing our past from becoming our future might require an understudied domain of life – and a computer!
Antibiotics
Synthetic bile acids lock the lethal toxin produced by C. difficile into a harmless state, protecting the gut from damage.
Howdy! Allow me to introduce you to the new sheriff in town: lariocidin, a potent antimicrobial lasso peptide.
A modified macrolide called mandimycin, uniquely targets fungal cell membranes, offering potent activity against multidrug-resistant fungal pathogens.
CRISPR-Cas9, a powerful gene-editing tool, protects probiotics from antibiotic resistance and presents a promising strategy to combat bacterial infections
Co-administration of bismuth-containing compounds and antibiotics increases their antimicrobial activity, including against resistant bacterial pathogens, through disruption of iron uptake.
Penicillium species found in peat bogs secrete chemicals harmful to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
New research seeks to fight bacterial pathogens with viral cocktails
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.
