PHYSIOTARGET

Physiotarget is a bioinformatics company devoted to developing new technologies for Cancer Theranostics, MDR Bacteria characterization, and Pharmacovigilance... Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), previously called hospital infections, are a severe public health problem and can develop either as a direct result of medical or surgical treatment or in contact with a healthcare setting. These infections include central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and surgical site infections. Among the pathogens related to HAI, the group of bacteria is the one that stands out. More than 2 million HAIs occur each year in the USA (Stone et al., 2005), with 50-60% being caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Given the potential severity of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and the lack of treatment options, identifying and implementing effective strategies to prevent such infections are urgent..
