Pasteurella multocida (Pm) is a significant cause of respiratory disease in beef cattle, with serious consequences for the cattle industry. The bacterial quorum-sensing (QS) system is used for communication and regulation of various processes, including bacterial growth, virulence, biofilm format...
The emergence of multi-drug resistant Plasmodium falciparum underscores the urgent need for new antimalarial therapies. SC83288, a novel chemical entity, is highly effective against P. falciparum both in vivo and in vitro, including strains resistant to artemisinin and partner drugs. Here, we sho...
Trichosporon asahii is a basidiomycete yeast that is pathogenic to humans and animals, and fluconazole-resistant strains have recently increased. Farnesol secreted by fungi is a factor that causes variations in fluconazole resistance; however, few studies have explored the underlying mec...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health threat, aggravated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains. This study aims to identify genes and metabolic pathways with increased vulnerability in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains compared to their drug-susceptible counterparts. Usin...
Subspecies of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei are the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), a debilitating neglected tropical disease prevalent across sub-Saharan Africa. HAT case numbers have steadily decreased since the start of the century, and sustainable...
Amphotericin B is increasingly used in treatment of leishmaniasis. Here, fourteen independent lines of Leishmania mexicana and one L. infantum line were selected for resistance to either amphotericin B or the related polyene antimicrobial, nystatin. Sterol profiling revealed tha...
