Copy number flexibility facilitates heteroresistance to increasing antibiotic pressure and threatens the beta-lactam pipeline

Nature Communications
Our understanding of the rapid adaptation of bacteria to resist novel drugs is growing beyond known mechanisms such as mobile genetic elements and mutation selection.

Hyperthermia Prevents In Vitro and In Vivo Biofilm Formation on Endotracheal Tubes

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
There is currently an urgent need to find new strategies to tackle antimicrobial resistance and biofilm-related infections. This study has two aims. First, we evaluated the in vitro efficacy of hyperthermia in preventing biofilm formation on the surfaces

Evaluation of the CARBA PAcE test, a colorimetric imipenem hydrolysis test for rapid detection of carbapenemase activity

Microbiology Spectrum
There is an urgent need for accurate and fast diagnostic tests to identify carbapenemase-producing bacteria. Here, we evaluated a colorimetric imipenem hydrolysis test, called the CARBA PAcE test, to detect carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (

Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2017
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

The epidemiology of carbapenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter species in Europe: analysis of EARS-Net data from 2013 to 2017

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2020
Background Due to limited therapeutic options and their association with high mortality and morbidity, carbapenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter spp. (CNA) are of significant public health importance.

Genomic and phenotypic characterization of six multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter pittii isolates

Scientific Reports
The Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex is a significant cause of nosocomial infections. While A. baumannii is the most common and clinically significant member globally, recent studies suggest that A.
