Antimicrobial Resistance: An Update from the Canadian Committee on Antibiotic Resistance [PDF]
The present article is one of a series prepared by the Canadian Committee on Antibiotic Resistance (CCAR). These articles are designed to update readers on current activities intended to limit the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance

Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide concern. Over the past several decades, antibiotic resistance has increased to many respiratory pathogens as well as aerobic gram-negative bacilli. Recently, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) have become important hospital pathogens.

Antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens is a challenge that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Multidrug resistance patterns in Gram-positive and -negative bacteria are difficult to treat and may even be untreatable with conventional antibiotics.

Background The incidence of Escherichia coli bloodstream infections (BSI) is high and increasing. We aimed to describe the effect of season and temperature on the incidence of E. coli BSI and antibiotic-resistant E.

Resistance-resistant antibiotics [PDF]
New antibiotics are needed because drug resistance is increasing while the introduction of new antibiotics is decreasing. We discuss here six possible approaches to develop 'resistance-resistant' antibiotics. First, multitarget inhibitors in which a single compound inhibits more than one target may be easier to develop than conventional combination ...

A framework for identifying the recent origins of mobile antibiotic resistance genes
Ebmeyer and colleagues developed a genomic framework for identification and scrutiny of the origins of antibiotic resistance genes. Using data scoured from the literature and publicly available genomes, their results indicate that only 81% of previously ...

Background New antibiotic resistance determinants are generally discovered too late, long after they have irreversibly emerged in pathogens and spread widely.

Phenotypic Resistance to Antibiotics [PDF]
The development of antibiotic resistance is usually associated with genetic changes, either to the acquisition of resistance genes, or to mutations in elements relevant for the activity of the antibiotic. However, in some situations resistance can be achieved without any genetic alteration; this is called phenotypic resistance. Non-inherited resistance

A Novel, Integron-Regulated, Class C β-Lactamase
AmpC-type β-lactamases severely impair treatment of many bacterial infections, due to their broad spectrum (they hydrolyze virtually all β-lactams, except fourth-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems) and the increasing incidence of plasmid-
