recommendations! Published in 2019 at "ACS infectious diseases"

DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.9b00042

Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen causing severe infections in hospitalized and immunosuppressed patients, particularly individuals affected by cystic fibrosis. Several clinically isolated P. aeruginosa strains were found to be resistant to three or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1012488

Abstract: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising tool with which to fight rising antibiotic resistance. However, pathogenic bacteria are equipped with several AMP defense mechanisms, whose contributions to AMP resistance are often poorly defined. Here, we… read more here.
