The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for late-stage epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represented a drastic change in the treatment of late-stage lung cancer. Drug resistance develops after a certain period of first-line TKI treatment, which has led to decades of changing treatment guidelines for EGFR-mutant NSCLC. This study discussed the potential mechanisms of drug resistance against first-line TKI treatment and potential successive treatment strategies. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) may play a role in the evaluation of drug resistance in first-line TKI treatment. Emerging combination regimens and ongoing trials were discussed. Potential future strategies for treatment and for the management of drug resistance were proposed in this study.

The global spread of extended-spectrum cephalosporinase-producing (producing extended-spectrum -lactamase or plasmid-borne AmpC, hereafter ESC-Ec) is a major public health concern. Whilst extensively studied in high-income countries, the transmission pathways between humans and animals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain unclear. In rural Cambodia, the asymptomatic carriage and transmission dynamics of ESC-Ec between humans and animals living in close proximity are poorly understood, highlighting the need for targeted research in this area.

Background: Bedaquiline (BDQ) resistance presents a critical challenge in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), particularly multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. The emergence of resistance to BDQ, a key drug in treating MDR-TB, poses significant threats to TB treatment effectiveness.

Methods: The National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases in Delhi and the Médecins Sans Frontières clinic in Mumbai provide BDQ, delamanid, and carbapenem-based regimens for patients with suspected or confirmed treatment failure.

Exploring the repository of de novo-designed bifunctional antimicrobial peptides through deep learning.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive candidates to combat antibiotic resistance for their capability to target biomembranes and restrict a wide range of pathogens. It is a daunting challenge to discover novel AMPs due to their sparse distributions in a vast peptide universe, especially for peptides that demonstrate potencies for both bacterial membranes and viral envelopes. Here, we establish a de novo AMP design framework by bridging a deep generative module and a graph-encoding activity regressor.
