Evolution of metallo-beta-lactamases in focus of the antibiotic resistance problem
The article considers the place of metallo-beta-lactamases among the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. These enzymes have important differences from serine beta-lactamases, which affect the mechanism of their catalytic activity, inhibition, rate of ...

Impact of short-term storage on the quantity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase–producing Escherichia coli in broiler litter under practical conditions [PDF]
Applying broiler litter containing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) to arable land poses a potential risk for humans to get colonized by contact with contaminated soil or vegetables.

Controversies about Extended-Spectrum and AmpC Beta-Lactamases
Many clinical laboratories have problems detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases. Confusion exists about the importance of these resistance mechanisms, optimal test methods, and appropriate reporting ...

Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.
