Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance: The Most Critical Pathogens
Understanding the resistance mechanisms of these bacteria is a key step in the development of new antimicrobial drugs to tackle drug-resistant bacteria. In this review, both the mode of action and the mechanisms of resistance of commonly used antimicrobials will be examined. It also discusses the current state of AMR in the most critical ...
Current developments in antibiotic discovery
Even if reduced investments means reduced research and development, we also have to realize that innovations in antibiotic research are now much harder to accomplish and require more funding than during the golden decade of discovery. One main reason is the diminishing effectiveness of the traditional approaches for discovering antibiotics.
Antibiotics: past, present and future
Abstract. The first antibiotic, salvarsan, was deployed in 1910. In just over 100 years antibiotics have drastically changed modern medicine and extended the average human lifespan by 23 years. The discovery of penicillin in 1928 started the golden age of natural product antibiotic discovery that peaked in the mid-1950s.
A Deep Learning Approach to Antibiotic Discovery
Here, we demonstrate how the combination of in silico predictions and empirical investigations can lead to the discovery of new antibiotics ( Figure 1 ). Our approach consists of three stages. First, we trained a deep neural network model to predict growth inhibition of Escherichia coli using a collection of 2,335 molecules.
A New Era of Antibiotics: The Clinical Potential of Antimicrobial
2. History of Antibiotics and Resistance. Prior to the commercialization of antibiotics, the three leading causes of death were pneumonia and flu, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections [].During World War I (WWI), infectious diseases caused more deaths than battle wounds [].The serendipitous discovery of penicillin in 1928 marked a new era of modern medicine [].
Using AI, MIT researchers identify a new class of antibiotic candidates
Using a type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning, MIT researchers have discovered a class of compounds that can kill a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the United States every year.. In a study appearing today in Nature, the researchers showed that these compounds could kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) grown in a lab dish and ...

New class of antibiotics active against a wide range of bacteria
Dual-acting immuno-antibiotics block an essential pathway in bacteria and activate the adaptive immune response. Scientists have discovered a new class of compounds that uniquely combine direct ...
Potential for New Antibiotics Discovered in Human Gut
In a new paper in Cell, the labs of de la Fuente and Ami S. Bhatt, professor in medicine (hematology) and genetics at Stanford, surveyed the gut microbiomes of nearly 2,000 people, discovering dozens of potential new antibiotics. "We think of biology as an information source," says de la Fuente.

Scientists discover new approach to fighting antibiotic resistance
A new approach to fighting antibiotic resistance could help to prevent diseases by making bacteria vulnerable to treatment again. Researchers, including experts from Imperial College London, have found a way to impair antibiotic-resistant bacteria that cause human disease, such as E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa, by inhibiting a protein that drives the formation of resistance ...
Uncovering new antibiotics inside the human gut

Probiotics as an alternative antimicrobial therapy: Current reality and
Microorganisms of the LAB group produce lactic acid from different carbon sources, such as simple carbohydrates (Carr, Chill, & Maida, 2002).In addition, they eliminate secondary metabolites (e.g., bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides and enzymes) that inhibit the growth of other microorganisms.These factors are related to the different antimicrobial mechanisms of action of probiotics (Leroy and ...
History of Antibiotics Research
The emphasis of this chapter is to give an overview of the history of antibiotics research. The situation within the pre-antibiotic era as well as in the early antibiotic era will be described until the Golden Age of Antibiotics will conclude this time travel.
