Acinetobacter baumannii Bloodstream Infections: A Nationwide Study in Israel

Microorganisms, 2023
Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a major public health concern and associated with high mortality. We describe the nationwide incidence, antimicrobial resistance, and mortality of Ab-BSI in Israel using laboratory-based BSI ...

Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Exhibiting Clinically Undetected Colistin Heteroresistance Leads to Treatment Failure in a Murine Model of Infection

mBio, 2018
Antibiotic resistance is a growing crisis and a grave threat to human health. It is projected that antibiotic-resistant infections will lead to 10 million annual deaths worldwide by the year 2050.

When can antibiotic treatments for trachoma be discontinued? Graduating communities in three African countries. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Repeated mass azithromycin distributions are effective in controlling the ocular strains of chlamydia that cause trachoma. However, it is unclear when treatments can be discontinued. Investigators have proposed graduating communities when the

Vaccines in the fight against antimicrobial resistance – from evidence to policy - perspectives from South Africa

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: The rising prevalence of drug-resistant infections presents a challenge to modern medicine by limiting life-saving therapeutic options, especially for those who cannot afford more expensive second-and third-line antibiotics, and ...

OXA-900, a Novel OXA Sub-Family Carbapenemase Identified in Citrobacter freundii, Evades Detection by Commercial Molecular Diagnostics Tests

Microorganisms, 2021
Using whole-genome sequencing and cloning of the target gene, we identified blaOXA-900 carbapenemase, a novel blaOXA belonging to a distant and distinct sub-family of blaOXA-48-like. The plasmid-mediated gene was identified in a C.

Discovery of the fourth mobile sulfonamide resistance gene

Microbiome, 2017
Background Over the past 75 years, human pathogens have acquired antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), often from environmental bacteria. Integrons play a major role in the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes.

Occurrence, Typing, and Resistance Genes of ESBL/AmpC-Producing Enterobacterales in Fresh Vegetables Purchased in Central Israel

Antibiotics, 2023
Beta-lactam resistance can lead to increased mortality, higher healthcare expenses, and limited therapeutic options. The primary mechanism of beta-lactam resistance is the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamases ...

When antibiotics experts say no to antibiotics [PDF]

GERMS, 2020
Overuse or misuse of antibiotics is one reason for the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Here, we present four cases where antibiotics were started (or proposed) although they were not needed. The first case was asymptomatic bacteriuria where antibiotic therapy was initiated but then stopped after the case was referred to the infectious diseases (ID)

Antibiotic resistance gene abundances correlate with metal and geochemical conditions in Scottish soils [PDF]

, 2011
The vast majority of antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) acquired by human pathogens have originated from the natural environment. Therefore, understanding factors that influence intrinsic levels of ARG in the environment could be epidemiologically ...
