Purpose:
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (EM) is a multi-drug-resistant bacterium of global concern for its role in nosocomial infection and is generally resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics. In the whole genome of an EM strain (FMS-007), an aminoglycoside-6-adenyl transferase gene (ant(6)FMS-007) was predicted. This study aimed to characterize...

Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is a dangerous pathogen which causes a vast selection of infections. Antimicrobial peptides have been demonstrated as a new hope for developing antibiotic agents against multi-drug-resistant bacteria such as S. aureus . Yet, most studies on developing classification tools for antimicrobial peptide activities do n...
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are amongst the most common nosocomial infections worldwide and are difficult to treat due to multi-drug resistance development among the CAUTI-related pathogens. Importantly, CAUTI often leads to secondary bloodstream infections and death. A major challenge is to predict when patients will deve...
