Resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in Streptococcus faecium [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1982
Clinical isolates of Streptococcus faecium are characteristically resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. Two strains, selected for hypersusceptibility to penicillin, were derived from normally resistant isolates treated with novobiocin. These strains were also found to be hypersusceptible to other beta-lactams.

Beta-Lactam-Resistant Enterobacterales Isolated from Landfill Leachates

Pathogens, 2022
Antibiotic resistance is one of the main challenges worldwide due to the high morbidity and mortality caused by infections produced by resistant bacteria. In Colombia, this problem has been studied mainly from the clinical perspective; however, it is scarcely studied in the leachates produced in landfills.

Molecular characterization of ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei isolates from patients with bacilliary dysentery in Lebanon

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2009
Background: Emergence of extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) in Shigella species imparting resistance to third-generation cephalosporins is a growing concern worldwide. The aim of this study is to molecularly characterize the newly emerging beta-lactam

Antimicrobials: a global alliance for optimizing their rational use in intra-abdominal infections (AGORA) [PDF]

, 2016
Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) are an important cause of morbidity and are frequently associated with poor prognosis, particularly in high-risk patients.

Beta-lactam resistance response triggered by inactivation of a nonessential penicillin-binding protein.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
It has long been recognized that the modification of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) to reduce their affinity for beta-lactams is an important mechanism (target modification) by which Gram-positive cocci acquire antibiotic resistance.

Quarter-wise proportion and beta-lactam resistance rate of bovine mastitis associated- Staphylococcus aureus among infectious episodes in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-Analysis

Heliyon, 2023
Background: Bovine mastitis, a condition with multifactorial etiology, imposes a significant economic burden on the dairy sector in Ethiopia, with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) being one of the leading etiologic agents.

Beta-lactam-specific resistant mutants of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1986
In an approach to understanding the origin of methicillin resistance in clinical isolates of staphylococci, a series of Staphylococcus aureus mutants resistant to various beta-lactam antibiotics were isolated in the laboratory by antibiotic selection. Mutants with low- and intermediate-level resistance showed considerable specificity for the particular

Evaluation of the ESBL-coding plasmids transmissibility in E. coli isolated from ambulatory patient's urina [PDF]

, 2018
Representatives of the Enterobacteriaceae family are the main causative agents of urinary tract infections. Escherichia coli can exhibit resistance to [beta] -lactam antibiotics by synthesizing ESBL (extended spectrum [beta]-lactamases).

Can we prevent antimicrobial resistance by using antimicrobials better? [PDF]

, 2013
Since their development over 60 years ago, antimicrobials have become an integral part of healthcare practice worldwide. Recently, this has been put in jeopardy by the emergence of widespread antimicrobial resistance, which is one of the major problems ...
