Low-Cost Anti-Mycobacterial Drug Discovery Using Engineered E. Coli

In the synthetic biology era, chemical genetics provides new tools for long-standing challenges in antimicrobial drug discovery. Microbial strains can be sensitised to drugs with specific mechanisms by making genetic changes to targeted functional pathways. High-throughput screening of these strains may then reveal new drugs that target the modified pathway…

Antimicrobial Strategy for Targeted Elimination of Different Microbes, Including Bacterial, Fungal, and Viral Pathogens

The ongoing emergence of microbial pathogens for which no effective antimicrobials exist endangers global health, necessitating novel antimicrobial approaches. The bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus (SA), particularly methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA), is a well-known multidrug-resistant pathogen. According to recent research, the photo-activated probe caused a structural change in the probe and conjugate…

Antibiotic Residues in Milk: Control Strategies in Dairy Animals

The antibiotic resistance (AR) leads to the development of new resistant bacteria or superbugs, resulting in failure of antibiotic therapy under clinical situations in both humans and animals. AR development particularly in the pathogens has become the greatest threat to antibiotic therapy. Awareness and upgradation of knowledge regarding AR among…
