Li H, Nemeth A, Melander R, Melander C
ACS Infect Dis . 2024 Mar; 10(4):1339-1350. PMID: 38491938
Increasing antimicrobial resistance, coupled with the absence of new antibiotics, has led physicians to rely on colistin, a polymyxin with known nephrotoxicity, as the antibiotic of last resort for the...

Nemeth A, Young M, Melander R, Smith R, Ernst R, Melander C
Chembiochem . 2024 Mar; 25(8):e202400127. PMID: 38451872
The development of novel therapeutic approaches is crucial in the fight against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, particularly gram-negative species. Small molecule adjuvants that enhance the activity of otherwise gram-positive selective...
