Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance—the need for global solutions
Ramanan Laxminarayan,Ramanan Laxminarayan,Ramanan Laxminarayan,Adriano Duse,Chand Wattal,Anita K. M. Zaidi,Heiman F. L. Wertheim,Nithima Sumpradit,Erika Vlieghe,Gabriel Levy Hara,Ian M. Gould,Herman Goossens,Christina Greko,Anthony D. So,Maryam Bigdeli,Goeran Tomson,Will Woodhouse,Eva Ombaka,Arturo Quizhpe Peralta,Farah Naz Qamar,Fatima Mir,Sam Kariuki,Zulfigar A. Bhutta,Anthony R.M. Coates,Richard Bergstrom,Gerard D. Wright,Eric D. Brown,Otto Cars +27 more
TL;DR: The global situation of antibiotic resistance, its major causes and consequences, and key areas in which action is urgently needed are described and identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic-sequence comparison of two unrelated isolates of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori
Alm Richard A,Lo-See L. Ling,Donald T. Moir,Benjamin L. King,Eric D. Brown,Peter Doig,Douglas R. Smith,Brian Noonan,Braydon C. Guild,Boudewijn L. deJonge,Gilles Carmel,Peter J. Tummino,Anthony Caruso,Maria Uria-Nickelsen,Debra M. Mills,Cameron Ives,Rene Gibson,David Merberg,Scott D. Mills,Qin Jiang,Diane E. Taylor,Gerald F. Vovis,Trevor J. Trust +22 more
TL;DR: The overall genomic organization, gene order and predicted proteomes (sets of proteins encoded by the genomes) of the two strains are quite similar, and it is found that H. pylori was believed to exhibit a large degree of genomic and allelic diversity, but this is the first such genomic comparison.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial drug discovery in the resistance era
Eric D. Brown,Gerard D. Wright +1 more
TL;DR: The looming antibiotic-resistance crisis has penetrated the consciousness of clinicians, researchers, policymakers, politicians and the public at large as discussed by the authors, and the evolution and widespread distribution of antibiotic-resistant elements in bacterial pathogens has made diseases that were once easily treatable deadly again.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Deep Learning Approach to Antibiotic Discovery
Jonathan M. Stokes,Kevin Yang,Kyle Swanson,Wengong Jin,Andres Cubillos-Ruiz,Nina M. Donghia,Craig R. MacNair,Shawn French,Lindsey A. Carfrae,Zohar Bloom-Ackermann,Victoria M. Tran,Anush Chiappino-Pepe,Ahmed H. Badran,Ian W. Andrews,Ian W. Andrews,Ian W. Andrews,Emma J. Chory,George M. Church,Eric D. Brown,Tommi S. Jaakkola,Regina Barzilay,James J. Collins +21 more
TL;DR: A deep neural network capable of predicting molecules with antibacterial activity is trained and a molecule from the Drug Repurposing Hub-halicin- is discovered that is structurally divergent from conventional antibiotics and displays bactericidal activity against a wide phylogenetic spectrum of pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comprehensive, CRISPR-based Functional Analysis of Essential Genes in Bacteria
Jason M. Peters,Alexandre Colavin,Handuo Shi,Tomasz L. Czarny,Matthew H. Larson,Spencer Wong,John S. Hawkins,Candy H. S. Lu,Byoung-Mo Koo,Elizabeth Marta,Anthony L. Shiver,Evan H. Whitehead,Jonathan S. Weissman,Eric D. Brown,Lei S. Qi,Kerwyn Casey Huang,Carol A. Gross +16 more
TL;DR: High-throughput microscopy indicated that cell morphology is relatively insensitive to mild knockdown but profoundly affected by depletion of gene function, revealing intimate connections between cell growth and shape.
