Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate many cellular processes and to play a role in host‐pathogen interactions. However, the role of miRNA in urinary tract infection (UTI) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare miRNAs from supernatants of human bladder epithelial cells infected with ESBL‐producing (ESBL019 ...

ABSTRACT Antibiotic allergy labels (AALs) are common and often incorrect. They have many potential impacts, including the use of broader‐spectrum antibiotics and suboptimal treatment of infections. The impact of inaccurate allergy labels on post‐transplant outcomes in the solid organ transplant population is not well described.

ABSTRACT Zoliflodacin is a first‐in‐class oral spiropyrimidinetrione antibiotic being developed for patients with uncomplicated gonorrhea, including those infected with multidrug‐resistant strains. Because zoliflodacin is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), concomitant administration with a CYP3A inhibitor has the potential to increase ...

Lung organoids as a human system for Mycobacteria infection modeling and drug testing
Mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), are still public health issues. In 2023, TB caused 1.25 million deaths, while NTM remain a clinical challenge for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
