Antimicrobial Resistance: A Growing Serious Threat for Global Public Health

Healthcare, 2023
Antibiotics are among the most important discoveries of the 20th century, having saved millions of lives from infectious diseases. Microbes have developed acquired antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to many drugs due to high selection pressure from ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis (November 2019–June 2021)

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2022
Background Pneumonia from SARS-CoV-2 is difficult to distinguish from other viral and bacterial etiologies. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are frequently prescribed to patients hospitalized with COVID-19 which potentially acts as a catalyst for the ...

Genetic and phenotypic characterizations of IncX3 plasmids harboring bla NDM-5 and bla NDM-16b in Japan

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The spread of the gene encoding the NDM-type carbapenemase, bla NDM, poses a serious threat to clinical practice and public health. This gene is usually carried by transferable plasmids, which facilitates its rapid spread among various species of ...

AMRFinderPlus and the Reference Gene Catalog facilitate examination of the genomic links among antimicrobial resistance, stress response, and virulence

Scientific Reports, 2021
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health threat. With the rise of affordable whole genome sequencing, in silico approaches to assessing AMR gene content can be used to detect known resistance mechanisms and potentially identify novel

Genome-wide association studies reveal candidate genes associated to bacteraemia caused by ST93-IV CA-MRSA

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The global emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has seen the dominance of specific clones in different regions around the world with the PVL-positive ST93-IV as the predominant CA-MRSA clone ...

Metals to combat antimicrobial resistance

Nature Reviews Chemistry, 2023
Bacteria, similar to most organisms, have a love–hate relationship with metals: a specific metal may be essential for survival yet toxic in certain forms and concentrations.
