Vascular grafts have a significant role in the artery replacement, aneurysm repair, and hemodialysis treatments. Synthetic grafts that have been mostly used in the clinic include ePTFE and Dacron; however, their use has been associated with a range o...

Antibiotic resistance is a major health priority, with the concern over antibiotic resistance growing. The rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria coupled with the limited new therapeutics puts pressure on community and hospital healthcare systems and...

High-risk clones represent a major concern, as they are very efficient vehicles for mobile genetic elements carrying antimicrobial resistance genes and therefore promote their spread, especially if they confer resistance to cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin,...

Introduction: Amoxicillin and Ampicillin are among the most widely used antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. While traditional drug monitoring methods often face challenges relative to accuracy and analysis speed, optical-based techniques o...

Antibiotic resistance poses a critical threat to global health, largely driven by bacterial efflux pumps that expel antibiotics and reduce their efficacy. This study investigated the potential of Phellinus hartigii ethyl acetate extract (Ph-Ace) to i...

This review explores the biofilm architecture and drug resistance of Enterococcus faecalis in clinical and environmental settings. The biofilm in E. faecalis is a heterogeneous, three-dimensional, mushroom-like or multilayered structure, characterist...

Measuring antimicrobial use (AMU) in animal production can provide useful data for monitoring AMU over time, which will promote antimicrobial resistance (AMR) reduction. This study involved the daily collation and validation of active primary drug sa...

Many bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have encoded many toxins like RhsP2 that target non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in a similar mechanism to ART components; bacterial RNA loses its function of amino acid translation. A virtual screening approach...

The overuse of antibiotics in livestock contributes to antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic risk. This study investigated 19 Escherichia coli isolates from broiler feces (Savinor, Portugal), characterizing resistance genes, virulence factors, integr...

The 4th International Electronic Conference on Antibiotics (ECA2025) was an online conference held on 21–23 May 2025, organized by the MDPI journal Antibiotics. This event aims to bring together researchers and scholars to discuss a wide range...
