Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Esther Hong Qian Ong"
Esther Hong Qian Ong focuses on developing innovative therapeutic strategies to combat resistant bacterial and fungal infections, identifying the urgent need for alternatives to current treatments like mupirocin and fluconazole.
Her research includes designing ultra-short antibacterial peptides that exhibit potent activity against mupirocin-resistant MRSA, addressing a significant global health challenge in skin infections.
Additionally, she conducts structure-activity relationship studies of ultra-short peptides targeting fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans, contributing to the understanding of resistance mechanisms in vaginal candidiasis.
