Overview on bacterial resistance and nanoparticles to overcome bacterial resistance [PDF]
Les infections microbiennes ont été la principale cause de décès tout au long de l'histoire. Cela a changé lorsque les antibiotiques ont été découverts, entraînant une augmentation de l'espérance de vie de 48 ans à 72 ans. Cependant, cet âge d'or pourrait se terminer très bientôt.

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

How innate immunity proteins kill bacteria and why they are not prone to resistance [PDF]
Recent advances on antibacterial activity of peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) offer some insight into how innate immunity has retained its antimicrobial effectiveness for millions of years with no frequent emergence of resistant strains. First,

Resisting Bacterial Drug Resistance [PDF]
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Wright and colleagues report an elegant method for inhibiting enzymes critical for rendering bacteria drug resistant. By using cationic peptides as inhibitors, the authors have exploited two antibacterial mechanisms, making it doubly difficult for microbial retaliation.

Clinical Usefulness of the QMAC-dRAST System for AmpC β-lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales
Background: Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) is important for the appropriate treatment of bloodstream infections. The QMAC-dRAST system (QuantaMatrix Inc., Korea) can directly perform RAST using positive blood culture samples with ...

Genome-wide association analysis identifies resistance loci for bacterial blight in a diverse collection of indica rice germplasm [PDF]
Bacterial blight, which is caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. The development and use of disease-resistant cultivars have been the most effective strategy to control bacterial blight ...

Nowadays, bacterial resistance to the different antibiotics is a major public health problem [1-4]. Recent outbreaks, like the one found in Germany for E. coli O104 [5,6] as well as the emergence of multidrug resistant organisms, such as gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae associated to the New Delhi metallo β-lactamase [7-9] evidence this problem [4,10 ...
