A Medical Microbiologist, curious to research advanced technologies and strategies in combating antimicrobial resistance with phages being one of them. Exploring writing as a means of expressing that scientific curiosity.
Recently, we had an insightful conversation with Dr. Nathan Brown, a scientist who made an “unexpected” shift from academia to the cosmetics…
When infected with phages, bacteria exhibit defence mechanisms against phages. Scientists have now discovered “jumbo phages” that “cloak” their genetic material in…
From the ancient times, turmeric has gained its notoriety as an effective antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant spice. The yellow compound, curcumin, isolated from…
Scientists have developed a novel method to significantly boost the effectiveness of bacteriophage therapy, a promising alternative to antibiotics for treating bacterial…
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder,…
Wound healing is a complex process that involves a lot of work from our cells. Infections from fractures (broken bones) often involve…
Despite being less known and often overlooked by the general public, bacteriophages have been evolving alongside bacteria and may have existed even…
The ongoing challenge of antimicrobial resistance has prompted a growing interest in phage therapy as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. This approach…
Just like in our visible world, microorganisms exhibit various kinds of survival mechanisms. Of the many, biofilms stand out with their complex…
In their recently published study, scientists from a tertiary care hospital in Thailand reported an outbreak of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) infections in COVID-19…
