Microfluidic Platforms for the Study of Bacterial Metabolism and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Fast spreading antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging major public health issue. New therapeutic and diagnostic paradigms must be implemented to counteract this evolution. In this respect, fast antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) plays an imp ...
EPFL2021An experiment-informed signal transduction model for the role of the Staphylococcus aureus MecR1 protein in beta-lactam resistance
Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata
The treatment of hospital- and community-associated infections by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a perpetual challenge. This Gram-positive bacterium is resistant specifically to beta-lactam antibiotics, and generally to many other an ...
