AMPs present a myriad of advantages over traditional antibiotics, including their ability to target multiple sites, reduced susceptibility to resistance development, and high efficacy at low doses.

Physiological and biochemical parameters varied among the three mating type strains under different stress conditions. Principal component analysis was used to calculate the weight values, which showed that the MAT1-2 strain exhibited the highest tolerance to chemical stresses, particularly oxidative stress. Subculturing under stress revealed that single mating type strains ceased growth by the 8th generation, whereas both mating type strains could continue to the 15th generation without loss of mating type genes, indicating broader environmental adaptability and higher viability.

This review summarizes the current phenotypic and genotypic detection methods for bacterial AMR. Phenotypic detection methods mainly include antimicrobial susceptibility tests, while genotypic detection methods have higher sensitivity and specificity and can detect known or even unknown drug resistance genes. However, most of the current tests are either genotypic or phenotypic and rarely combined. Combining the advantages of phenotypic and genotypic methods, combined with the joint application of multiple rapid detection methods may be the trend for future AMR testing.

Although the pathogenesis of the disease are unclear, epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune and microbial dysregulation, and environmental factors are known to be critical etiologies in AD pathology. The skin microbiota represents an ecosystem consisting of numerous microbial species that interact with each other as well as host epithelial cells and immune cells. Although the skin microbiota benefits the host by supporting the basic functions of the skin and preventing the colonization of pathogens, disruption of the microbial balance (dysbiosis) can cause skin diseases such as AD. Although AD is a dermatological disease, recent evidence has shown that changes in microbiota composition in the skin and intestine contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. Environmental factors that contribute to skin barrier dysfunction and microbial dysbiosis in AD include allergens, diet, irritants, air pollution, epigenetics and microbial exposure. Knowing the microbial combination of intestin, as well as the genetic and epigenetic determinants associated with the development of autoantibodies, may help elucidate the pathophysiology of the disease. The skin of patients with AD is characterized by microbial dysbiosis as a result of reduced microbial diversity and overgrowth of the pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. Recent studies have revealed the importance of building a strong immune response against microorganisms during childhood and new mechanisms of microbial community dynamics in modulating the skin microbiome. Numerous microorganisms are reported to modulate host response through communication with keratinocytes, specific immune cells and adipocytes to improve skin health and barrier function. This growing insight into bioactive substances in the skin microbiota has led to novel biotherapeutic approaches targeting the skin surface for the treatment of AD. This review will provide an updated overview of the skin microbiota in AD and its complex interaction with immune response mechanisms, as well as explore possible underlying mechanisms in the pathogenesis of AD and provide insights into new therapeutic developments for the treatment of AD.

It presents a significant public health challenge in tropical and subtropical regions globally. As resistance to treatment increases, managing and controlling Leishmaniasis becomes more challenging, necessitating innovative approaches. To address this challenge, our study utilized subtractive genomics and structure-based approaches to identify common drug targets and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across five Leishmania species strains. The subtractive genomics approach unraveled Glutamate Dehydrogenase (GDH) as a promising drug target for treating Leishmania infections. The investigation considered established methodologies observed in analogous studies, orthologous group, and druggability tests. Multiple sequence alignment revealed conserved sequences in GDH, while phylogenetic tree analysis provided insights into the evolutionary origin and close relationships of GDH across Leishmania species. Conserved sequences in GDH along with its function in pathogenicity provided insights into the close relationships of GDH across Leishmania species. Using a structure-based approach, our study showed the molecular interactions between GDH and three ligands-Bithionol, GW5074, and Hexachlorophene-through molecular docking and 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. GW5074 exhibited a significant affinity for GDH, as indicated by stable RMSD values, a more compact conformation, and a higher number of hydrogen bonds than Bithionol. MMPBSA analysis confirmed the superior binding energy of the GW5074-GDH complex, emphasizing its potential as a potent ligand for drug development.
