Annual prevalences of antimicrobial resistance among urine isolates (3,913 isolates and 1,736 isolates) from home-based primary care patients with dementia were high between 2014 and 2018 (ciprofloxacin, 18%-23% and 5%-7%, respectively; multidrug resistance, 9%-11% and 5%-6%, respectively). Multidrug resistance varied by region. Additional studies of antimicrobial resistance in home-care settings are needed.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising agents for treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Although discovering novel AMPs is crucial for combating multidrug-resistant bacteria and biofilm-related infections, their clinical potential relies on precise, real-time evaluation of efficacy, toxicity, and mechanisms. Optical diffraction tomography (ODT), a label-free imaging technology, enables real-time visualization of bacterial morphological changes, membrane damage, and biofilm formation over time.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small peptides that play an important role in disease defense. As the problem of pathogen resistance caused by the misuse of antibiotics intensifies, the identification of AMPs as alternatives to antibiotics has become a hot topic. Accurately identifying AMPs using computational methods has been a key issue in the field of bioinformatics in recent years.

The agricultural productivity and world-wide food security is affected by different phytopathogens, in which Fusarium is more destructive affecting more than 150 crops, now got resistance against many fungicides that possess harmful effects on environment such as soil health, air pollution, and human health. Fusarium fungicide resistance is an increasing concern in agricultural and environmental contexts, requiring a thorough understanding of its causes, implications, and management approaches. The mechanisms of fungicide resistance in Fusarium spp.
