Susceptibilities of enterococci to twelve antibiotics [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1984
The susceptibilities of 347 urine isolates of enterococci (Streptococcus faecalis, 44%; S. faecalis subsp. zymogenes, 37%; S. faecalis subsp. liquefaciens, 19%) to ampicillin, azlocillin, mezlocillin, piperacillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, erythromycin, rosaramicin, rifampin, rifampin plus trimethoprim (1:4), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (1:20), and ...

In vitro activity of antibiotic monotherapy and combination therapy with bacteriophages against Staphylococcus aureus LVAD-driveline infections

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Left-ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used as a bridge to heart transplantation and destination therapy. These devices, especially the driveline, are susceptible to difficult-to-treat infections, associated with high morbidity and ...

High Salt Cross-Protects Escherichia coli from Antibiotic Treatment through Increasing Efflux Pump Expression

mSphere, 2018
Environmental stresses often co-occur when bacteria encounter antibiotic treatment inside the human body. The cellular response to environmental stressors can alter the global gene expression pattern of bacteria.

Rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing of Gram-Negative Bacteria Directly from Urine Samples of UTI Patients Using MALDI-TOF MS

Antibiotics, 2023
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common human infections and are most often caused by Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Etiologic profile and antimicrobial susceptibility of community-acquired urinary tract infection in two Cameroonian towns

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) represents one of the most common diseases encountered in community medical practice. In resource poor settings, treatment is usually empiric due to the high cost and long duration required for reporting diagnosis

Influence of Nutrient Media Compared to Human Synovial Fluid on the Antibiotic Susceptibility and Biofilm Gene Expression of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci In Vitro

Antibiotics, 2021
Bacterial antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation are mechanisms usually involved in the pathogeny of implant-related infections. Worldwide, antibiotic susceptibility tests are usually carried out using nutrient-rich media.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
