AmpC β-lactamase induction by avibactam and relebactam [PDF]
Background: Diazabicyclooctanes, e.g. avibactam and relebactam, are a new class of β-lactamase inhibitors. Their spectrum includes AmpC enzymes, but it is important to understand whether they also induce these enzymes.

Evidence for a Dinuclear Active Site in the Metallo-β-lactamase BcII with Substoichiometric Co(II): A New Model for Uptake [PDF]
Metallo-β-lactamases are zinc-dependent enzymes that constitute one of the main resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics. Metallo-β-lactamases have been characterized both in mono- and dimetallic forms.

The 2018 Garrod Lecture: Preparing for the Black Swans of Resistance [PDF]
The need for governments to encourage antibiotic development is widely agreed, with ‘Market Entry Rewards’ being suggested. Unless these are to be spread widely – which is unlikely given the $1 billion sums proposed– we should be wary, for this approach ...

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

ABSTRACT Background Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low‐income countries. We describe the aetiology and risk factors for neonatal bacteraemia and in‐hospital mortality in eastern Ethiopia, focusing on Pantoea dispersa, a rarely studied pathogen, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Gut Microbiota as a Key Modulator in the Pathophysiology of Sepsis: SURVEIL Project
Longitudinal profiling of 132 hospitalized patients reveals that age, colonization status, and sepsis interact to shape gut microbiota diversity and composition. Sepsis is associated with reduced alpha diversity, beta‐diversity shifts, functional predictions (methanogenesis, nitrate/sulfate respiration), and partial MDR overlap with bloodstream ...

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance has become a major threat to human health, particularly for Gram‐negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Disruption of membrane integrity is regarded as a promising antimicrobial strategy that does not induce distinct drug resistance, while increasing the internalization of drug ...

Cryptogenic Perirolandic Brain Abscess in an Otherwise Healthy Young Man
ABSTRACT A previously healthy 19‐year‐old male presented with 1 day of transient right‐sided weakness, numbness, and gait disequilibrium after recent self‐limited sinonasal symptoms and minor nasal trauma with epistaxis. He was afebrile but with focal deficits, leukocytosis, and elevated C‐reactive protein.

Medicare Part D and Hospital Admissions due to Antimicrobial Resistance
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been increasing rapidly in the United States despite government efforts to contain its spread. Both under‐utilization and overuse of prescribed antimicrobials contribute to rising resistance. The introduction of Medicare Part D in 2006 expanded prescription drug coverage for the elderly, including coverage ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a non‐fermentative, opportunistic Gram‐negative bacterium that causes 10%–15% of nosocomial and burn wound infections worldwide. This bacterium is resistant to various antibiotics through multiple mechanisms, including acquisition of resistance genes.
