The barrier function of the outer membrane ofPseudomonas maltophiliain the diffusion of saccharides and β-lactam antibiotics [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989
This paper reports that the efficiency of solute diffusion through the outer membrane of Pseudomonas maltophilia is roughly 3 to 5% of that of Escherichia coli. This is despite the fact that the outer membrane pore(s) is only a little smaller than that of E. coli. These results suggest that P. maltophilia has a low copy number of porin(s).

Clinical effectiveness of beta-lactams versus fluoroquinolones as empirical therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus hospitalized for urinary tract infections: A retrospective cohort study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
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 ...

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

open access: yesFEMS 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]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

β-Lactamase-non-producing ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae is acquiring multidrug resistance

open access: yesJournal of Infection and Public Health, 2020
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.

Repurposing β-Lactams for the Treatment of Mycobacterium kansasii Infections: An In Vitro Study

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
Mycobacterium kansasii (Mkn) causes tuberculosis-like lung infection in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Current standard therapy against Mkn infection is lengthy and difficult to adhere to.

Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular rotors are fluorescent molecules that are sensitive to viscosity and temperature variations in the environment. They exhibit a direct correlation between fluorescence and viscosity within Newtonian fluids. However, this correlation becomes less straightforward in complex systems.

Diclofenac Resensitizes Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus to β‐Lactams and Prevents Implant Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
Implant infections caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can cause major complications during the perioperative period. Diclofenac, one of the most widely used nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, is often used to relieve pain and
