Regulation of PBP2x Surface Localization by aliD and clpL Alters β-Lactam Resistance in Pneumococcus

Pathogens
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of respiratory infections and is often treated with β-lactam antibiotics despite frequent resistance. The β-lactam resistance is through mutations in penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), but the impact of PBP ...

High Prevalence of blaOXA-2 and blaOXA-10 Genes in the β-Lactam-Resistant Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

Research in Molecular Medicine, 2022
Background: Increased resistance to β-lactams is one of the most important considerations about Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of blaOXA-2 and blaOXA-10 genes in β-lactam-resistant P. aeruginosa.

Mutations in ampD cause hyperproduction of AmpC and CmcB β-lactamases and high resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in Chromobacterium violaceum

Microbiology Spectrum
Bacterial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics mediated by β-lactamase enzymes is widespread worldwide. Chromobacterium violaceum, an environmental Gram-negative bacterial pathogen, is intrinsically resistant to some β-lactam antibiotics.

Synergistic Advanced Oxidation and Physicochemical Treatment Strategies for Antibiotic Removal and Resistance Mitigation in Water

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of antibiotics in water not only causes environmental pollution but also increases the growth of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial genes, which pose serious threats to human beings and other water residents. Large numbers of people are reportedly affected by the resistant bacterial genes, as many broad‐spectrum antibiotics are not ...

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

A systematic scoping review of metrics utilized to measure antibiotic consumption in hospital settings

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs were introduced to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials and to combat antimicrobial resistance. Quantifying antibiotic consumption is an important part of AMS initiatives to achieve these objectives.

Hypericin enhances β-lactam antibiotics activity by inhibiting sarA expression in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2019
Bacteremia is a life-threating syndrome often caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel approaches to successfully treat this infection.

Evaluating a virtual paediatric adverse drug reaction clinic

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a common problem in paediatric health care. There is limited access to expertise in the evaluation and management of potential ADRs in children, limiting access to these services and creating delays in assessment and management.

β-Lactam Antibiotics Renaissance

Antibiotics, 2014
Since the 1940s β-lactam antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial infections. However, emergence and dissemination of β-lactam resistance has reached the point where many marketed β-lactams no longer are clinically effective.
