Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xiaoyuan Ma"
- Xiaoyuan Ma's recent research primarily focuses on combating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, including the development of compounds that restore sensitivity to antibiotics, such as colistin, in resistant strains of Gram-negative bacteria.
- The studies also investigate the interactions between plasmids in bacterial populations, revealing how nonresistance-conferring plasmids can support the persistence of resistance genes in clinical Enterobacteriaceae.
- In addition to antimicrobial research, Ma has made significant contributions to the development of innovative sensor technologies for detecting harmful substances, such as aflatoxins and histamines, utilizing advanced materials like gold nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles for enhanced sensitivity and efficiency in detection methods.
