Emerging Therapies in Respiratory Tract Infections: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Abstract: The impact of respiratory tract infections (RTI) as a global public health problem continues to be high morbidity and mortality rates. The development of novel therapeutic approaches stemmed from the fact that conventional treatment strategies, antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals etc. have become increasingly ineffective because of rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Next generation therapies, such as novel antimicrobial agents, host directed therapies and novel drug delivery systems have come on the …

Metabolites in Modern Medicine: Decoding the Future of Health and Diseases
Abstract: The end products of many metabolic processes in cells are called metabolites. Each reaction contributes a specific metabolite. Metabolites act as fingerprints of on-going biological processes. Constant changes in cellular composition due to both environmental and internal factors. By analysing the types and presence of metabolites, scientists can effectively reconstruct the inner workings of a cell or organism. In the past, analysing metabolites was a slow and tedious process, often …

Lysogenic Phage Cocktails with Embedded Fluorophores for Field Wound Diagnostics.
Abstract: Rapid and accurate detection of wound infections in field settings remains a critical challenge in emergency and military medicine. Conventional microbiological diagnostics are time- consuming and laboratory-dependent. Bacteriophages, particularly lysogenic phages, offer high specificity toward bacterial hosts and can be engineered as diagnostic tools. A translational framework was developed for lysogenic bacteriophage cocktails embedded with fluorophore reporters for rapid, point-of-care wound diagnostics. Mechanisms of phage infection, lysogenic integration, and fluorophore …

Bacteriophages- A New Frontier in Medicine
Abstract: Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically target and infect bacteria, offering an innovative alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments, especially in the face of rising antibiotic resistance. The resurgence of phage therapy has been driven by the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains and the slowdown in the development of new antibiotics. Phages, unlike antibiotics, target specific bacterial strains, reducing the impact on the natural microbiota and potentially offering a …
