Comparison of the Respiratory Resistomes and Microbiota in Children Receiving Short versus Standard Course Treatment for Community-Acquired Pneumonia

mBio, 2022
Pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is often treated with 10 days of antibiotics. Shorter treatment strategies may be effective and lead to less resistance. The impact of duration of treatment on the respiratory microbiome is unknown.

The mechanism of heterogeneous beta-lactam resistance in MRSA: key role of the stringent stress response. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
All methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains carry an acquired genetic determinant--mecA or mecC--which encode for a low affinity penicillin binding protein -PBP2A or PBP2A'--that can continue the catalysis of peptidoglycan transpeptidation in the ...

On the natural and laboratory evolution of an antibiotic resistance gene [PDF]

, 2008
TEM-1 ß-lactamase is one of the most notorious antibiotic resistance enzymes around. It exists at high frequencies in antibiotic-resistant bacteria around the world and confers resistance to ß-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins (e.g.

Clinical Relevance of Antibiotic Susceptibility Profiles for Screening Gram-negative Microorganisms Resistant to Beta-Lactam Antibiotics [PDF]

, 2020
The increasing resistance to antibiotics is compromising the empirical treatment of infections caused by resistant bacteria. Rapid, efficient, and clinically applicable phenotypic methods are needed for their detection. This study examines the phenotypic

β-lactam Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Current Status, Future Prospects

, 2021
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen, causing a wide range of acute and chronic infections. β-lactam antibiotics including penicillins, carbapenems, monobactams, and cephalosporins play a key role in the treatment of P ...

A Hunt for the Resistance of Haemophilus influnezae to Beta-Lactams

Antibiotics
Infections due to Haemophilus influnezae require prompt treatment using beta-lactam antibiotics. We used a collection of 81 isolates obtained between 1940 and 2001 from several countries. Whole genome sequencing showed the high heterogeneity of these isolates but allowed us to track the acquisition of beta-lactamase, which was first detected in 1980 ...
