Antibacterial Peptides, Synbodies, and Methods of Discovery
Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide clinical and public health problem, primarily stemming from the overuse of antibiotics. One of the most critical resistant pathogens is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which accounts for over 2,000,000 illnesses and 11,000 deaths each year. MRSA has developed resistance to all beta-lactam antibiotics....

Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections cost billions of dollars to the US in healthcare and result in 2 million hospitalizations and 23,000 deaths. Clinical treatment of bacterial infections, especially in acute cases of sepsis, requires multiple steps, including antibiotic susceptibility tests (AST). Current AST techniques are slow and limited to...
