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.

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 (

Impact of Skin Disinfection on Cutaneous Microbiota, before and after Peripheral Venous Catheter Insertion

Antibiotics, 2022
Introduction. Patients with invasive medical devices are at high risk for infection. Skin colonization is the initial stage of these infections, leading to the recommendation of practices requiring disinfection using antiseptics.

Antibiotic resistance: a physicist's view [PDF]

, 2016
The problem of antibiotic resistance poses challenges across many disciplines. One such challenge is to understand the fundamental science of how antibiotics work, and how resistance to them can emerge. This is an area where physicists can make important contributions. Here, we highlight cases where this is already happening, and suggest directions for

Characterization of Enterobacterales growing on selective CPE screening plates with a focus on non-carbapenemase-producing strains

Microbiology Spectrum
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are divided into two distinct groups: carbapenemase-producing (CPE) and non-carbapenemase-producing (non-CPE).

Staphylococcus aureus Internalization in Osteoblast Cells: Mechanisms, Interactions and Biochemical Processes. What Did We Learn from Experimental Models?

Pathogens, 2021
Bacterial internalization is a strategy that non-intracellular microorganisms use to escape the host immune system and survive inside the human body.

A clinical update on Antibiotic Resistance Gram-negative bacteria in Malaysia- a review [PDF]

Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research, 2018, 2019
Antibiotics are the wonder discoveries to combat microbes. For decades, multiple varieties of antibiotics have been used for therapeutic purposes in hospital settings and communities throughout the world. Unfortunately, bacteria have become resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics.

A Model of the Number of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Rivers [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
The large reservoir of antibiotic resistant bacteria in raw and treated water supplies is a matter of public health concern. Currently, the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring Systems, a collaborative effort of the Centers for Disease Control, the US Department of Agriculture, and the US Food and Drug Administration, does not monitor ...

Social interaction, noise and antibiotic-mediated switches in the intestinal microbiota [PDF]

, 2012
The intestinal microbiota plays important roles in digestion and resistance against entero-pathogens. As with other ecosystems, its species composition is resilient against small disturbances but strong perturbations such as antibiotics can affect the consortium dramatically.

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 ...
