Summary: The effectiveness of antibiotics is severely impacted by antimicrobial resistance, with multidrug-resistant pathogens being a major public health concern. The main mechanisms by which bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics include altering drug targets, preventing drug entry into cells, efflux pumps, or drug inactivation. Understanding and predicting resistance patterns can lead to better selection of active antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant infections.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is a major cause of illness and death worldwide, and targeted elimination of both cancer stem cells (CSCs) and non-CSCs is essential for successful treatment. This study developed and optimized a liposomal drug delivery system for co-loading the anti-CSC drug salinomycin (SAL) and the conventional anticancer drug gemcitabine (GEM). The co-loaded liposomes demonstrated sustained release of both drugs and superior in vitro cytotoxic effects compared to single GEM treatment, indicating that this combination therapy may be a promising strategy for treating colorectal cancer.
