Advancing Antimicrobial Resistance Research Through Quantitative Modeling and Synthetic Biology

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging global health crisis that is undermining advances in modern medicine and, if unmitigated, threatens to kill 10 million people per year worldwide by 2050.

Prevalence of Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase and Integron Gene Carriage in Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella Species Isolated from Outpatients in Yazd, Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020
Background: Community-acquired infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Klebsiella species (Klebsiella spp.) is of major concern worldwide. Antibiotic resistance, production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases

Transfer of Infectious Drug Resistance in Microbially Defined Mice [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1969
Germ-free mice were intentionally associated with drug-resistant donor strains of Escherichia coli known to carry R factors and with drug-sensitive recipient strains. In vivo transfer of R factors was observed in all experiments, involving five different donor-recipient combinations.

A review on lipid-based nanocarriers mimicking chylomicron and their potential in drug delivery and targeting infectious and cancerous diseases

AAPS Open, 2023
Infectious and cancerous diseases are tedious to manage. The problem of drug resistance is often associated with anti-microbial and anti-cancer agents and is one of the most significant challenges that restrict their activity.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Effectiveness of Adherence to Procalcitonin-Guided Antibiotic Protocol in Patients with Severe Sepsis

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: The misuse of antibiotic therapies in hospitalized sepsis patients increases hospital length of stay and antimicrobial resistance. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a bacterial infection biomarker that can guide doctors in their decisions about ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
