A Promising Antibacterial Inhibition of Propolis Extracts Against Carbapenem‐Resistant Bacteria Isolated From Clinical Samples

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing inadequacy of antibiotics against multidrug‐resistant pathogens is a growing concern. In this study, the antibacterial activity of propolis extracts with different phenolic profiles against carbapenem‐resistant clinical isolates was investigated.

Polyphosphate-degrading enzymes in Acinetobacter spp. and activated sludge [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989
Polyphosphate-degrading enzymes were studied in Acinetobacter spp. and activated sludge. Polyphosphate: AMP phosphotransferase activity in Acinetobacter strain 210A decreased with increasing growth rates. The activity of this enzyme in cell extracts of Acinetobacter strain 210A was maximal at a pH of 8.5 and a temperature of 40 degrees C and was ...

Development of a Promising Bivalent Vaccine Against Klebsiella pneumoniae Based on Glycoengineered GMMA (geGMMA)

Exploration, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, with no current licensed vaccines available. This study used a mutant E. coli strain expressing exogenous polysaccharides (from K. pneumoniae) to establish glycoengineered generalized modules for membrane antigens (geGMMA) vaccine platform, which demonstrated

Rapid Determination of Quinolone Resistance in Acinetobacter spp [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT In the treatment of serious bacterial infections, the rapid institution of appropriate antimicrobial chemotherapy may be lifesaving. Choosing the correct antibiotic or combination of antibiotics is becoming very important, as multidrug resistance is found in many pathogens.

Microbiological Characteristics of Pathogens Isolated From Blood Cultures of Patients With Acute Cholangitis: Insights From Patients With Biliary‐Enteric Anastomosis

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to investigate the microbiological characteristics of pathogens isolated from blood cultures (BCs) of patients with acute cholangitis (AC) after biliary‐enteric anastomosis and biliary intervention (BI). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 366 patients with AC and bacteremia between 2015 and 2024 at Hiroshima ...

Detection of integrons in worldwide nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter spp. [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 1999
OBJECTIVE: To examine the distribution of integrons in genotypically unrelated worldwide multiresistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter spp. METHODS: The presence and genetic location of class 1, 2 and 3 integrons were examined in a genotypically heterogeneous collection of 25 nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter spp., from 15 locations in 11 ...
