Colistin and its role in the Era of antibiotic resistance: an extended review (2000–2019)

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
Increasing antibiotic resistance in multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) presents significant health problems worldwide, since the vital available and effective antibiotics, including; broad-spectrum penicillins, fluoroquinolones ...

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Detection of Multi-drug Resistant \u3cem\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/em\u3e in the Urban Waterways of Milwaukee, WI [PDF]

, 2015
Urban waterways represent a natural reservoir of antibiotic resistance which may provide a source of transferable genetic elements to human commensal bacteria and pathogens. The objective of this study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance of Escherichia

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Use of a national repository of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra enables fast detection of silent outbreaks and prevention of spread of new antibiotic-resistant sequence types

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Background The reference microbiology laboratory of Israel’s National Institute for Antibiotic Resistance and Infection Control has established a national repository of isolates analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and their spectra.

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carrier detection: a simple and efficient protocol

Microbiology Spectrum
Timely detection of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) carriers is essential to direct infection control measures. In this work, we aimed to develop a practical protocol to detect CRAB from screening samples. To choose a selective medium

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.
