Restoration of effectiveness of β-lactams on methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusby tellimagrandin I from rose red [PDF]
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.

Synthesis of Some New Mono- and Bis-Polycyclic Aromatic Spiro and Bis-Nonspiro-β-Lactams
Some new mono-and bis-polycyclic aromatic spiro-β-lactams and bis-non spiro-polycyclic aromatic β-lactams have been synthesized from imines derived from anthracene-9-carbaldehyde, 2-naphtaldehyde and a ketene derived from 9H-xanthene-9-carboxylic acid ...

BackgroundDiabetic patients are at risk of severe urinary tract infections (UTIs). Due to the emerging resistance rates to fluoroquinolones and β-lactams, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of β-lactams versus fluoroquinolones as empirical therapy ...

Thefiblocus inStreptococcus pneumoniaeis required for peptidoglycan crosslinking and PBP-mediated β-lactam resistance [PDF]
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]
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.

Bedaquiline Eliminates Bactericidal Activity of β-Lactams against Mycobacterium abscessus
The β-lactams imipenem and cefoxitin are used for the treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus lung infections. Here, we show that these cell wall synthesis inhibitors trigger a lethal bacterial ATP burst by increasing oxidative phosphorylation.

Background: Haemophilus influenzae strains with reduced susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents have emerged in Japan. Here, we aimed to investigate H. influenzae non-susceptibility to β-lactams and non-β-lactams. Methods: A total of 260 H.

β-Lactam induction of ISEcp1B-mediated mobilization of the naturally occurringblaCTX-Mβ-lactamase gene ofKluyvera ascorbata [PDF]
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 ...
