Beta-Lactamase-Mediated Antibiotic Resistance in Urinary Tract Infections: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies [PDF]

Urogenital Tract Infection
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections globally, and are primarily caused by Escherichia and Klebsiella. The overprescription and inappropriate use of antibiotics have accelerated the emergence of multidrug ...

Dutch patients, retail chicken meat and poultry share the same ESBL genes, plasmids and strains [PDF]

, 2011
Intestinal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) -producing bacteria in food-producing animals and contamination of retail meat may contribute to increased incidences of infections with ESBL-producing bacteria in humans.

Piperacillin–tazobactam as alternative to carbapenems for ICU patients

Annals of Intensive Care, 2017
Several studies suggest that alternatives to carbapenems, and particulary beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations, can be used for therapy of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE)-related infections in non-ICU ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae Susceptibility to Carbapenem/Relebactam Combinations: Influence of Inoculum Density and Carbapenem-to-Inhibitor Concentration Ratio

Biomedicines, 2022
The inoculum effect (IE) is a well-known phenomenon with beta-lactams. At the same time, the IE has not been extensively studied with carbapenem/carbapenemase inhibitor combinations.

Exploiting the aggregation propensity of beta-lactamases to design inhibitors that induce enzyme misfolding

Nature Communications, 2023
There is an arms race between beta-lactam antibiotics development and co-evolving beta-lactamases, which provide resistance by breaking down beta-lactam rings.

Exploring Protein Sequence Space Using Computationally Directed Recombination [PDF]

, 2006
Evolution has provided us with many protein sequences. However, these sequences represent a very small fraction of the possible sequences. In the laboratory, scientists have explored areas of sequence space not represented by natural proteins both to ...

Carbapenem-sparing beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitors versus carbapenems for bloodstream infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: a systematic review and meta-analysis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Objectives: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) have become a worldwide public health threat, and beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations (BLBLIs) are considered as one

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...
