Understanding these various categories provides valuable insights into the complexity and sophistication of contemporary medicine and highlights the continuous innovations driving healthcare advancement. Antibiotics and antimicrobials represent one of the most transformative API categories in medical history. ...
Antimicrobial peptides, also known as host defense peptides, serve as frontline warriors in our immune system. ...
In the face of an urgent global health threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), effective biomedical liquid waste management has become more crucial than ...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the main challenges in public health in the 21st century. ...
To combat this invisible threat, a powerful weapon has emerged: antimicrobial functional powder. What is Antimicrobial Functional Powder? ...

Their work is important amid growing concerns about rising antibiotic resistance. The scientists, led by Martin Caffrey, Emeritus Fellow of Trinity's Faculty of Medicine and School of Biochemistry and Immunology, used next-generation x-ray crystallography and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy to "see what's going on under the bacterial cap.", and produced a molecular ...
This is what is predicted as early as 2050 as a result of the growth of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As scientists, we are very aware of the coming storm, and it is now ranking higher and higher within governments strategic priorities, for example, the UK Government’s 20-year plan: ...
According to the WHO, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to health and food safety. It is increasingly evident that antibiotics, resistant micro-organisms, and their resistance genes are spreading invisibly through water. ...
Developing and manufacturing molecular diagnostics platforms and test kits for detecting human pathogens. Specializing in Antimicrobial Resistance Management and Hospital Associated Infections (HAIs), by reliable, cost-effective molecular diagnostic solutions for detecting Gastrointestinal Infections including most clinically relevant bacteria, parasites, ...
Diagnosis and treatment is extremely difficult, since sepsis commonly presents with a variety of symptoms and signs as it progresses, whilst the condition requires early intervention if effective treatment is to be administered. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) provides further complication. The likelihood of a patient dying from sepsis increases by 7.6% each hour ...
The aim of this study was to analyze the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-types, phylo-groups and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of Escherichia coli and to investigate if these approaches are suitable for microbial source tracking (MST). ...
Clinically relevant antimicrobial resistant bacteria, genetic resistance elements, and antibiotic residues (so-called AMR) from human and animal waste are abundantly present in environmental samples. ...
The aquatic environment has been implicated as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). In order to identify sources that are contributing to these gene reservoirs, it is crucial to assess effluents that are entering the aquatic environment. ...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important nosocomial pathogen also found in water, soil, plants and in human and animal fecal samples. In this study, 31 isolates from water samples were analyzed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) and PCR to detect integrons and investigated for antibiotic resistance and plasmidial profile. The results ...
The susceptibility of fecal indicators to antimicrobial agents important in human therapy was examined. Resistance to nitrofurantoin and erythromycin was common among enterococci and followed by resistance to fluoroquinolones and tetracycline. ...
In the study species distributions and antimicrobial resistance profiles were determined among riverine Enterococcus spp. ...
However, composting manure from animals fed antimicrobials has not been well characterized. In this study, compost windrows were prepared using manure collected from cattle (Bos Taurus L.) fed tylosin (TY), chlortetracycline-sulphamethazine (TS), and control cattle (no antimicrobials). The objectives of the 18-wk trial were to quantitatively assess the survival ...
Out of 40 isolates, 90% were found to be resistant against more than two antibiotics. All of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin. It is noteworthy that all of the S. dysenteriae strains were resistant to chloramphenicol and trimethoprim, and that all of the S. flexneri and S. sonnei strains were resistant to cephotaxime, ...
There are few data on the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genetic diversity of Salmonella serovar Heidelberg isolates in retail meats. ...
Prior studies demonstrated that an antimicrobial peptide-resistant strain of C. albicans, 36082R, is hypervirulent in animal models versus its susceptible counterpart (36082S). The current study aimed to identify a genetic basis for antimicrobial peptide resistance in C. albicans. Screening of a C. albicans genomic library ...
