Phage-antibiotic synergy inhibited by temperate and chronic virus competition [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
As antibiotic resistance grows more frequent for common bacterial infections, alternative treatment strategies such as phage therapy have become more widely studied in the medical field. While many studies have explored the efficacy of antibiotics, phage therapy, or synergistic combinations of phages and antibiotics, the impact of virus competition on ...

Serum bile acids as a prognostic biomarker in biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Serum bile acid levels predict outcomes in patients with biliary atresia who achieve normalized bilirubin levels after Kasai portoenterostomy. Abstract Background and Aims In biliary atresia, serum bilirubin is commonly used to predict outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP).

Predicting the dynamics of bacterial growth inhibition by ribosome-targeting antibiotics [PDF]

, 2017
Understanding how antibiotics inhibit bacteria can help to reduce antibiotic use and hence avoid antimicrobial resistance - yet few theoretical models exist for bacterial growth inhibition by a clinically relevant antibiotic treatment regimen. In particular, in the clinic, antibiotic treatment is time dependent.

Three innovations of next-generation antibiotics: evolvability, specificity, and non-immunogenicity [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance is a silent pandemic that is being exacerbated by the uncontrolled use of antibiotics. Since the discovery of penicillin, we have been largely dependent on microbe-derived small molecules to treat bacterial infections. However, the golden era of antibiotics is coming to an end as the emergence and spread of antimicrobial ...
