Horizontal Gene Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Biofilms
Antibiotics, 2023 Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it hinders the treatment of infections with antibiotics due to the ...

A framework for identifying the recent origins of mobile antibiotic resistance genes
Communications Biology, 2021 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 ...

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2021 Background It is essential to detect carriers of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in order to implement infection control measures. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the NG-Test® CARBA 5 (CARBA 5) assay for detection of five ...

Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates
Microorganisms, 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

The impact of antibiotic use on transmission of resistant bacteria in hospitals: Insights from an agent-based model [PDF]
, 2018 Extensive antibiotic use over the years has led to the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). Antibiotic resistance poses a major threat to public health since for many infections antibiotic treatment is no longer effective ...

Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria—A Review
Antibiotics, 2022 Background: A global problem of multi-drug resistance (MDR) among bacteria is the cause of hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. In response to the significant increase of MDR bacteria, legislative measures have widely been taken to limit or ...

Journal of Research in Pharmacy, 2023 Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when the response of bacteria to medicines. Unfortunately nowadays the emergence of resistance among bacterial pathogens is a major public worldwide health problem.
