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...

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge. Host-directed therapies (HDTs) aim to limit tissue damage, shorten treatment, and improve outcomes by modulating immune responses. We evaluated the safety and potential efficacy of adjunctive ibuprofen an inexpens...

Miltefosine has been identified for its antifungal properties, yet the mechanisms underlying its action and the development of resistance remain unclear. In this study, we induced drug resistance in various Candida species through concentration gradient exposure, successfully obtaining a miltefosine...

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...

Microorganisms can adopt a quiescent physiological condition which acts as a survival strategy under unfavourable conditions. Quiescent cells are characterized by slow or non-proliferation and deep down-regulation of processes related to biosynthesis. Although quiescence has been described mostly...

Recent studies have suggested that elevated expression of aldoketoreductase (AKR) 1C1 or 1C2 in tumour cells is associated with increased resistance to DNA damaging agents such as cisplatin and doxorubicin. However, it has not been shown whether selection of tumour cells for resistance to DNA-damag...

Oxamniquine resistance evolved in the human blood fluke (Schistosoma mansoni) in Brazil in the 1970s. We crossed parental parasites differing ~500-fold in drug response, determined drug sensitivity and marker segregation in clonally-derived F2s, and identified a single QTL (LOD=31) on chromosome 6. ...

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...
