Draft Genome Sequences of Pandrug-Resistant Serratia marcescens Clinical Isolates Harboring bla NDM-1 [PDF]

, 2017
The draft genome sequences of two clonal, pandrug-resistant Serratia marcescens clinical isolates were determined. The resistance phenotype was plasmid driven, as 14 of 17 resistance genes were present on large IncFIB(K), IncHI2, and IncA/C2 plasmids ...

Targeting Antibiotic Resistance

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2016
AbstractFinding strategies against the development of antibiotic resistance is a major global challenge for the life sciences community and for public health. The past decades have seen a dramatic worldwide increase in human‐pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to one or multiple antibiotics.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Identification of 76 novel B1 metallo-β-lactamases through large-scale screening of genomic and metagenomic data

Microbiome, 2017
Background Metallo-β-lactamases are bacterial enzymes that provide resistance to carbapenems, the most potent class of antibiotics. These enzymes are commonly encoded on mobile genetic elements, which, together with their broad substrate spectrum and ...

Diversity of mucoid to non-mucoid switch among carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of intractable hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant infections and carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CPKp) are particularly feared.

The effect of combined sewer overflows on the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria in the James River [PDF]

, 2017
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human health. Clinical situations are the main focus for antibiotic resistance research, but understanding the spread of resistance in the environment is also vital.

Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

In vivo Fitness of Acinetobacter baumannii Strains in Murine Infection Is Associated with International Lineage II-rep-2 and International Lineage III Clones Showing High Case Fatality Rates in Human Infections

Microorganisms, 2020
We previously reported that the 14-day case fatality rate (CFR) in patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) bacteremia varied between infecting clones.

Antibiotic susceptibility, heteroresistance, and updated treatment strategies in helicobacter pylori infection [PDF]

, 2017
In this review, we discuss the problem of antibiotic resistance, heteroresistance, the utility of cultures and antibiotic susceptibility tests in Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication, as well as the updated treatment strategies for this infection.

Tackling antibiotic resistance [PDF]

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2011
The development and spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a universal threat to both humans and animals that is generally not preventable but can nevertheless be controlled, and it must be tackled in the most effective ways possible. To explore how the problem of antibiotic resistance might best be addressed, a group of 30 scientists from ...
