Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hesham Radwan"
- Hesham Radwan's recent research primarily focuses on antimicrobial resistance, exploring mechanisms of resistance in various bacterial strains, particularly emphasizing the reinvigorated use of colistin as a last-line treatment amidst rising resistance rates.
- His studies include the genetic characterization of resistance genes, particularly identifying novel transposons and genomic resistance islands, which contribute to the spread of extensively drug-resistant pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
- Additionally, Radwan investigates innovative treatment approaches against antibiotic-resistant infections, including optimization of bacteriophage therapies for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), demonstrating a multifaceted approach to combatting the global health threat of antimicrobial resistance.
