Comparative Analysis of Genetic Determinants Encoding Cadmium, Arsenic, and Benzalkonium Chloride Resistance in Listeria monocytogenes of Human, Food, and Environmental Origin

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Environmental adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes is a complex process involving various mechanisms that can contribute to their survival in the environment, further spreading throughout the food chain and the development of listeriosis. The aim of this

Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the

Sewage effluent from an Indian hospital harbors novel carbapenemases and integron-borne antibiotic resistance genes

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2019
Background Hospital wastewaters contain fecal material from a large number of individuals, of which many are undergoing antibiotic therapy. It is, thus, plausible that hospital wastewaters could provide opportunities to find novel carbapenemases and ...

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

open access: yesCritical Care Clinics, 1998
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in many parts of the world. Antibiotic resistance has been associated with the use of some antibiotics but not with others. Due to the overuse of antibiotics with a high resistance potential, there has been an increase of resistance with certain bacteria, e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa
