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.

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates collected in Portuguese hospitals [PDF]
, 2012 Objectives: In Portugal, little is known on carbapenemase (CARB)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The aim of this study was to identify the resistance mechanisms of Enterobacteriaceae isolates, identified at hospital laboratories as carbapenem (CA) non ...

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]
, 2014 peer-reviewedBackground: The potential for the human gut microbiota to serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes has been the subject of recent discussion. However, this has yet to be investigated using a rapid PCR-based approach.

Antibody-mediated cross-linking of gut bacteria hinders the spread of antibiotic resistance [PDF]
, 2019 The body is home to a diverse microbiota, mainly in the gut. Resistant bacteria are selected for by antibiotic treatments, and once resistance becomes widespread in a population of hosts, antibiotics become useless. Here, we develop a multiscale model of
