Polymyxin-ResistantAcinetobacterspp. Isolates: What Is Next?

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
To the Editor: In Brazilian hospitals, Acinetobacter spp. has been an important etiologic agent of nosocomial infections, mainly pneumonia (1–3). In general, ampicillin/sulbactam and carbapenems remain the last therapeutic options for treatment of such infections (3,4).

Association between antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacteriaceae and burden of environmental bacteria in hospital acquired infections: analysis of clinical studies and national reports

Heliyon, 2019
Background: WHO has named three groups of gram-negative bacteria “our critical antimicrobial resistance-related problems globally”. It is thus a priority to unveil any important covariation of variables behind this three-headed epidemic, which has gained

Diversity and Plant Growth‐Promoting Potential of Duckweed‐Associated Bacteria on Wolffia globosa Biomass Production and Nutritional Quality

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Co‐cultivation screening of 116 duckweed‐associated bacteria revealed isolates that enhanced Wolffia globosa biomass up to 77.75%, with Pseudomonas toyotomiensis W5–11 increasing dry weight 3.18‐fold and chlorophyll content 2.75‐fold, demonstrating their potential as biofertilisers for sustainable duckweed production.

Expanded Functional Characterization and Optimization of Protein Expression in Treponema denticola Shuttle Plasmids

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 69-84, April 2026.
We report optimization of the Treponema denticola shuttle plasmid system by minimizing its size and by characterizing an array of promoter‐gene constructs for genetic complementation, including the first use in Treponema of a Tet‐inducible system for controlled expression of potentially toxic genes.
