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

Discovery of the fourth mobile sulfonamide resistance gene

Microbiome, 2017
Background Over the past 75 years, human pathogens have acquired antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), often from environmental bacteria. Integrons play a major role in the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes.

Unraveling the Diversity of Co-Colonization by CPE

Microorganisms, 2022
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and more specifically, carbapenem-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) strains, are increasing worldwide. Despite their growing prevalence, in most high-income countries, the detection of CPE is still considered a low-frequency

Active surveillance for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) carriage

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) poses a significant threat in healthcare settings, necessitating robust infection control measures. To identify the most effective sampling method for CRAB carriage detection, we conducted a comparative

Compounding Effects of Climate Warming and Antibiotic Resistance. [PDF]

, 2020
Bacteria have evolved diverse mechanisms to survive environments with antibiotics. Temperature is both a key factor that affects the survival of bacteria in the presence of antibiotics and an environmental trait that is drastically increasing due to ...

Restrictive antibiotic stewardship associated with reduced hospital mortality in gram-negative infection [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Antimicrobial stewardship has an important role in the control of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and antibiotic resistance. An important component of UK stewardship interventions is the restriction of broad-spectrum beta-lactam ...

Vaccines in the fight against antimicrobial resistance – from evidence to policy - perspectives from South Africa

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: The rising prevalence of drug-resistant infections presents a challenge to modern medicine by limiting life-saving therapeutic options, especially for those who cannot afford more expensive second-and third-line antibiotics, and ...
