Interplay in the selection of fluoroquinolone resistance and bacterial fitness. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Fluoroquinolones are antibacterial drugs that inhibit DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. These essential enzymes facilitate chromosome replication and RNA transcription by regulating chromosome supercoiling.

The Promising Viral Threat to Bacterial Resistance: The Uncertain Patentability of Phage Therapeutics and the Necessity of Alternative Incentives [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteriophages, or “phages,” are a category of highly adept and adaptable viruses that can infect and kill bacteria. With concerns over the burgeoning antibiotic-resistance crisis looming in recent years, scientists and policymakers have expressed a ...

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

The porin and the permeating antibiotic: A selective diffusion barrier in gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

, 2008
Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for a large proportion of antibiotic resistant bacterial diseases. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that comprises an outer membrane and an inner membrane that delimit the periplasm.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

DRUG-RESISTANCE OF BACTERIS

The KITAKANTO Medical Journal, 1963
In the field study many types of drug-resistant E. coli, Shigella and Citrobacter were isolated by this laboratory. And seven types of transmissible drug-resistance factor were obtained; R(TC) R(SM), R(CM. TC), R(SM. SA), R(CM. SM SA), R(TC. SM. SA) and R(CM. TC.SM. SA). The R(CM) factor was segregated from (CM.

Improving PARP inhibitor efficacy in bladder cancer without genetic BRCAness by combination with PLX51107

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Clinical trials on PARP inhibitors in urothelial carcinoma (UC) showed limited efficacy and a lack of predictive biomarkers. We propose SLFN5, SLFN11, and OAS1 as UC‐specific response predictors. We suggest Talazoparib as the better PARP inhibitor for UC than Olaparib.

Genetic Analysis of mcr-1-Carrying Plasmids From Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Dutch Tertiary Care Hospital: Evidence for Intrapatient and Interspecies Transmission Events

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The role of plasmids in the complex pandemic of antimicrobial resistance is increasingly being recognized. In this respect, multiple mobile colistin resistance (mcr) gene-carrying plasmids have been described.

Model Systems of Human Intestinal Flora, to Set Acceptable Daily Intakes of Antimicrobial Residues [PDF]

, 2000
The veterinary use of antimicrobial drugs in food producing animals may result in residues in food, that might modify the consumer gut flora. This review compares three model systems that maintain a complex flora of human origin: (i) human flora ...
