Resistance to antibiotics [PDF]

BMJ, 1998
Editor—We agree with Hart that undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in the use of antimicrobials needs to be increased.1 Abbasi’s news article2 is opposite a full page advertisement for an antibiotic. This advertisement seems to promote the use of a new fluoroquinolone to treat respiratory infections “even [due to] Streptococcus pneumoniae”

Computational discovery and functional validation of novel fluoroquinolone resistance genes in public metagenomic data sets

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to prevent and treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Plasmid-mediated qnr genes provide resistance to fluoroquinolones in many bacterial species and are increasingly encountered in ...

Antibiotic resistance from food [PDF]

, 1988
Antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli are found in most fecal samples from the normal population. The present study tested the hypothesis that antibiotic-resistant bacteria come from contaminated food.

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Key Trends and Insights in Smart Polymeric Skin Wearable Patches

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Intelligent polymers, which respond to various physical and biological stimuli, are explored for the development of skin wearable patches in biomedical applications. Smart polymers, also known as intelligent or stimuli‐responsive polymers, play a crucial role in the development of advanced wearable patches due to their versatility and softness.

Joule‐Assisted Nanotherapeutic Urethral Stent (JANUS) for Spatiotemporal Theragenerative Treatment of Urethral Strictures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Joule‐assisted nanotherapeutic urethral stent harnesses a smart, biodegradable magnesium stent to orchestrate spatiotemporal theragenerative therapy for urethral strictures. Magnetically induced Joule heating enables on‐demand drug release and bacterial ablation, while simultaneously guiding urothelial regeneration.

An antiplasmid system drives antibiotic resistance gene integration in carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli lineages

Nature Communications
Plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) are the main mechanism of resistance dissemination in Enterobacterales. However, the fitness-resistance trade-off may result in their elimination.

In Vitro Activity of Dalbavancin against Refractory Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus aureus Isolates

Antibiotics, 2020
The high prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, always treated with vancomycin and daptomycin, has led to the emergence of vancomycin-intermediate (VISA), heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate (hVISA) and ...

Antibiotic stewardship for staff nurses: Five Key Ways you Influence Antibiotic Use [PDF]

, 2016
Over the past decade, antibiotic resistance has increased and spread dramatically throughout the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antibiotic use is the single most important factor leading to antibiotic resistance.
