Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Siew Mei Samantha Ng"
- Siew Mei Samantha Ng's research focuses primarily on developing novel antimicrobial peptides to combat resistant strains of pathogens, particularly mupirocin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
and fluconazole-resistant
Candida albicans
, highlighting an urgent need due to current therapeutic failures.
- She has conducted structure-activity relationship studies on ultra-short peptides that exhibit potent activity against resistant strains, pointing towards a promising avenue for the development of new treatments for both bacterial and fungal infections.
- Ng advocates for the potential of antifungal peptides as a new class of antifungals for treating common infections like vulvovaginal candidiasis, demonstrating the necessity of exploring alternative therapeutic agents in light of increasing drug resistance.
