Overview on bacterial resistance and nanoparticles to overcome bacterial resistance [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Pharmacy Research, 2021
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.

Resisting Bacterial Drug Resistance [PDF]

Chemistry & Biology, 2003
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.

Bacterial Resistance [PDF]

Biochemistry & Pharmacology: Open Access, 2012
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 ...

Comparison of Multiplex Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assays for Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Nasopharyngeal Specimens

Annals of Clinical Microbiology, 2019
Background: Respiratory tract infections are major public health threats, and the identification of their causative microbes helps clinicians to initiate timely and appropriate antimicrobial therapy and prevent the secondary spread of infection. The main

Application of 16S rRNA Gene-Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing for Bacterial Pathogen Detection in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Peritonitis

Annals of Clinical Microbiology, 2020
16S rRNA gene-targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) can detect microorganisms in a comprehensive reference database. To date, NGS has been successfully applied to samples such as urine, blood, and synovial fluid.

Role of AmpG in the resistance to β-lactam agents, including cephalosporins and carbapenems: candidate for a novel antimicrobial target

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2021
Background A complex cascade of genes, enzymes, and transcription factors regulates AmpC β-lactamase overexpression. We investigated the network of AmpC β-lactamase overexpression in Klebsiella aerogenes and identified the role of AmpG in resistance to β-

Risk Factors of Severe Clostridioides difficile Infection; Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score, Antibiotics, and Ribotypes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
We aimed to determine whether the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score predicts the prognosis of patients with Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).

Urinary tract infection caused by a small colony variant form of capnophilic Escherichia coli leading to misidentification and non-reactions in antimicrobial susceptibility tests

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
Background Small colony and capnophilic variant cases have been separately reported, but there has been no reports of their simultaneous presence in one isolate.
