Most antibiotic use in Australia arises from prescriptions in the community The risk of antibiotic-related adverse events, including resistance, increases with longer treatment courses When antibiotics are indicated for treatment, short courses are as effective as standard ones for most common infections Therapeutic Guidelines: Antibiotic is a key reference for antimicrobial prescribing in Australia General practitioners play a key role in reducing antibiotic use

Explainable deep learning and virtual evolution identifies antimicrobial peptides with activity against multidrug-resistant human pathogens.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising approach to identify new antimicrobial compounds in diverse microbial species. Here we developed an AI-based, explainable deep learning model, EvoGradient, that predicts the potency of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and virtually modifies peptide sequences to produce more potent AMPs, akin to in silico directed evolution. We applied this model to peptides encoded in low-abundance human oral bacteria, resulting in the virtual evolution of 32 peptides into potent AMPs.

Human β-defensin (HBD) has been recognized as a promising antimicrobial agent due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. In our previous work, we engineered a chimeric human β-defensin, designated H4, by fusing human β-defensin 3 and human β-defensin 4, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity and salt stability. However, the high cost of chemical synthesis due to the relatively large number of amino acids in H4 has limited its applications.

RP-HPLC technique was developed and optimized for simultaneous identification and estimation of nirmatrelvir (NIR) and ritonavir (RIT) in their new copackaged tablet. Stability of nirmatrelvir (NIR) was studied after exposure to different five stress conditions; alkali, acid, heat, photo and oxidation degradation. The chromatographic separation was achieved using VDSpher PUR 100 ODS (4.

Topological indices are crucial tools for predicting the physicochemical and biological features of different drugs. They are numerical values obtained from the structure of chemical molecules. These indices, particularly the degree-based TIs are a useful tools for evaluating the connection between a compound's structure and its attributes.

Uncontrollable haemorrhage and associated microbial contamination in the battlefield and civilian injuries pose a tremendous threat to healthcare professionals. Such traumatic wounds often necessitate an effective point-of-care solution to prevent the consequent morbidity owing to blood loss or haemorrhage. However, developing superior hemostatic materials with anti-infective properties remains a challenge.
