Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic-sequence comparison of two unrelated isolates of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori

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

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

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

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.
