Networking the Way towards Antimicrobial Combination Therapies

The exploration of new antimicrobial combinations is a pressing concern for Clinical Microbiology due to the growing number of resistant strains emerging in healthcare settings and in the general community. Researchers are screening agents with alternative modes of action and interest is rising for the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). This work presents the first ever network reconst...

Combating Antimicrobial Resistance: Policy Recommendations to Save Lives

Antimicrobial resistance is recognized as one of the greatest threats to human health worldwide [1]. Drugresistant infections take a staggering toll in the United States (US) and across the globe. Just one organism, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), kills more Americans every year ( 19,000) than emphysema, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s disease, and homicide combined [2].
