Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous, opportunistic pathogen that poses a significant threat in healthcare settings and various environments. This versatile bacterium readily develops resistance to conventional antibiotics, making multidrug resistant. . .
In the ongoing battle to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), we are investigating two promising avenues: natural products and bacteriophages. Natural products such as essential oils are known to interfere with. . .
In the fight against Candida albicans resistance and infections, a new strategy is emerging: targeting virulence factors. These are the fungal “weapons” that allow Candida albicans to invade and damage. . .
In the escalating threat of antibiotic resistance, my Ph.D. research tackles drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, a global health crisis responsible for over 750,000 deaths annually due to resistance. The ability. . .
SUMOylation, a key regulator in infection response, modulates host-pathogen interactions. This study explores natural products with immunomodulatory properties as potential SUMOylation modulators. We aim to identify if these products alter. . .
The term bacteriophages (or phages) is derived from Greek and literally translates to “bacteria-eaters”. These bacterial specific viruses have broad applications, but are especially useful as alternatives to antibiotics to. . .
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects the motor system. PD has no known causes, no permanent cure, and limited treatment options. Early symptoms are tremors, rigidity,. . .
