mBio, 2023 The purine-derived signaling molecules c-di-AMP and (p)ppGpp control mecA/PBP2a-mediated β-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) raise the possibility that purine availability can control antibiotic susceptibility ...

Restoration of effectiveness of β-lactams on methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusby tellimagrandin I from rose red [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 We found that extract from petals of Rosa canina L. (rose red) strikingly reduced the minimum inhibitory concentration of beta-lactams in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We isolated two compounds that reduced the minimum inhibitory concentrations of beta-lactams from the extract, tellimagrandin I and rugosin B.

Thefiblocus inStreptococcus pneumoniaeis required for peptidoglycan crosslinking and PBP-mediated β-lactam resistance [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 Penicillin resistance in pneumococci is mediated by modified penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) that have decreased affinity to beta-lactams. In high-level penicillin-resistant transformants of the laboratory strain Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 containing various combinations of low-affinity PBPs, disruption of the fib locus results in a collapse of PBP-

Decreased membrane permeability in a polymyxin B-resistantEscherichia colimutant exhibiting multiple resistance to β-lactams as well as aminoglycosides [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1998 A laboratory mutant of Escherichia coli stably resistant to more than 36,000 U ml-1 of polymyxin B was isolated. The mutant exhibited moderate increases in minimum inhibitory concentration to fluoroquinolones and bacitracin but high levels of cross-resistance to beta-lactams and aminoglycosides.

Journal of Immunology Research, 2022 Introduction. The risk of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) bacterial acquisition in patients with β-lactam allergy has been poorly investigated. In a previous study conducted over a 6-year long period (2007-2012), we found that patients with declared

β-Lactam induction of ISEcp1B-mediated mobilization of the naturally occurringblaCTX-Mβ-lactamase gene ofKluyvera ascorbata [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2008 ISEcp1B is an insertion element associated with the emerging expanded-spectrum beta-lactamase bla(CTX-M) genes in Enterobacteriaceae. Because ISEcp1B-bla(CTX-M)positive strains may be identified from humans and animals, the ability of this insertion sequence to mobilize the bla(CTX-M-2) gene was tested from its progenitor Kluyvera ascorbata to study ...

Commonly prescribed β-lactam antibiotics induce C. trachomatis persistence/stress in culture at physiologically relevant concentrations [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Chlamydia trachomatis, the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease agent worldwide, enters a viable, non-dividing and non-infectious state (historically termed persistence and more recently referred to as the chlamydial stress response) when exposed to penicillin G in culture.

Emerging Microbes and InfectionsSince β-lactam antibiotics are widely used, emergence of bacteria with resistance to them poses a significant threat to society. In particular, acquisition of genes encoding β-lactamase, an enzyme that degrades β-lactam antibiotics, has been a major ...
