Neonatal infection in Sub-Saharan Africa: a cross-sectional pilot study on bacterial pathogens and maternal risk factors

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionAlthough child morbidity and mortality could be reduced in Sub-Saharan Africa during the last years both remain high. Since neonatal infections play a major role, we conducted a cross-sectional pilot study in the lake region of Western ...

Live to cheat another day: bacterial dormancy facilitates the social exploitation of beta-lactamases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The breakdown of antibiotics by β-lactamases may be cooperative, since resistant cells can detoxify their environment and facilitate the growth of susceptible neighbours. However, previous studies of this phenomenon have used artificial bacterial vectors

Multistrain models predict sequential multidrug treatment strategies to result in less antimicrobial resistance than combination treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background Combination treatment is increasingly used to fight infections caused by bacteria resistant to two or more antimicrobials. While multiple studies have evaluated treatment strategies to minimize the emergence of resistant strains for single ...

Proteomic Study of the Survival and Resuscitation Mechanisms of Filamentous Persisters in an Evolved Escherichia coli Population from Cyclic Ampicillin Treatment

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Through adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiments, it was recently found that when a bacterial population was repetitively treated with antibiotics, they will adapt to the treatment conditions and become tolerant to the drug.

Evaluation of Immunocompetent Urinary Tract Infected Balb/C Mouse Model For the Study of Antibiotic Resistance Development Using Escherichia Coli CFT073 Infection

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2019
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common worldwide and are becoming increasingly difficult to treat because of the development of antibiotic resistance.

Quinoline Antimalarials Increase the Antibacterial Activity of Ampicillin

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bacterial and malaria co-infections are common in malaria endemic countries and thus necessitate co-administration of antibiotics and antimalarials. There have long been anecdotal clinical reports of interactions between penicillins and antimalarial ...

Detection and prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes in Campylobacter spp. isolated from chickens and humans

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2017
Campylobacter spp. are common pathogenic bacteria in both veterinary and human medicine. Infections caused by Campylobacter spp. are usually treated using antibiotics. However, the injudicious use of antibiotics has been proven to spearhead the emergence

Antimicrobial Resistance in Human and Animal Pathogens in Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and Tanzania: An Urgent Need of a Sustainable Surveillance System. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A review of the published and unpublished literature on bacterial resistance in human and animals was performed. Sixty-eight articles/reports from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia were reviewed.

Effects of Ampicillin-Amikacin and Ampicillin-Rifampin on Enterococci [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1976
Fifty-seven clinical isolates of enterococcus were tested for susceptibility to 10 antibiotics in a microtiter broth dilution system. Amoxicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, and rifampin inhibited all strains at concentrations easily achievable in blood. Resistance to rifampin developed rapidly. Of the aminoglycosides, gentamicin was most active, followed

Structural and Functional Alterations in the Microbial Community and Immunological Consequences in a Mouse Model of Antibiotic-Induced Dysbiosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The aim of this study was to establish continuous therapeutic-dose ampicillin (CTDA)-induced dysbiosis in a mouse model, mimicking typical adult exposure, with a view to using this to assess its impact on gut microbiota, intestinal metabolites and host ...
