The Dual Crisis: Antibiotic Resistance and the Discovery Void – A Review of Novel Therapeutic Strategies and Non-Traditional Approaches
Abstract: The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most critical public health challenges of the 21st century, threatening to undermine decades of therapeutic success and rendering conventional antibiotic regimens increasingly ineffective. Parallel to the escalating resistance rates is a profound “discovery void,” characterised by a steep decline in the development of new antibiotic classes since the late 20th century. Together, these two interconnected crises create …

Microbial Symphony: Understanding Biochemical Pathways for Precision Medicine and Beyond
Abstract: The human microbiome, an intricate ecosystem of microorganisms inhabiting the body, is a key regulator of host biochemistry and physiology. This review delves into the complex biochemical pathways influenced by the microbiome, spotlighting critical metabolites like short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and tryptophan derivatives, which impact immune regulation, energy metabolism, and neurobehavioral functions. By examining interactions between the microbiome and the host, including the influence of genetic factors and metabolite-driven …
