Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

Energetic, structural, and antimicrobial analyses of beta-lactam side chain recognition by beta-lactamases [PDF]

, 2001
Penicillins and cephalosporins are among the most widely used and successful antibiotics. The emergence of resistance to these beta -lactams, most often through bacterial expression of beta -lactamases, threatens public health.

Identification of group specific motifs in Beta-lactamase family of proteins

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Background Beta-lactamases are one of the most serious threats to public health. In order to combat this threat we need to study the molecular and functional diversity of these enzymes and identify signatures specific to these enzymes.

Clinically Significant Infections in Surgical Mortality

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Clinically significant infections (CSIs) are a common complication identified in cases of surgical mortality, associated with prolonged hospital stays, unplanned escalation of care and increased risk of death. This study aimed to examine the burden of CSIs in surgical deaths in the Australian Capital Territory and identify ...
