ABSTRACT Isoflavone synthase (IFS), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase of the CYP93C subfamily, catalyzes the conversion of flavanones into isoflavones, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins. In pea (Pisum sativum L.), the phytoalexin pisatin plays a pivotal role in defense against pathogens.

Detection of VIM-1-producing Enterobacter cloacae and Salmonella enterica Serovars Infantis and Goldcoast at a breeding pig farm in Germany in 2017 and their molecular relationship to former VIM-1-producing S. Infantis Isolates in German livestock production [PDF]
In 2011, VIM-1-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis and Escherichia coli were isolated for the first time in four German livestock farms. In 2015/2016, highly related isolates were identified in German pig production.

Gut Microbiota as a Key Modulator in the Pathophysiology of Sepsis: SURVEIL Project
Longitudinal profiling of 132 hospitalized patients reveals that age, colonization status, and sepsis interact to shape gut microbiota diversity and composition. Sepsis is associated with reduced alpha diversity, beta‐diversity shifts, functional predictions (methanogenesis, nitrate/sulfate respiration), and partial MDR overlap with bloodstream ...

In Belize, a 7‐year nationwide study reveals a sharp rise in antimicrobial resistance in surgical infections. ESBL‐producing bacteria more than doubled to > 45%, with critical treatment gaps and geographic hotspots identified. Sentinel pan‐drug‐resistant cases and a correlation between antibiotic use and resistance underscore the urgent need for ...

Is 24 hour observation in hospital after stopping intravenous antibiotics in neonates justified? [PDF]
Background: Antibiotics are given empirically for suspected sepsis in up to 75% of neonates on the Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (NPICU), after completion of a septic screen. Treatment is discontinued on day 3 if cultures remain negative or

Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Intravenous Push Cefepime in Critically Ill Patients With Sepsis
ABSTRACT Background Intravenous push (IVP) administration of cefepime increases ease of preparation and limits the need for small volume parenterals. The data on IVP pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters are limited, but may be especially relevant in critically ill patients with altered PK/PD for time‐dependent antibiotics like cefepime ...

Cephalosporinases associated with outer membrane vesicles released by Bacteroides spp. protect gut pathogens and commensals against beta-lactam antibiotics [PDF]
Objectives: To identify β-lactamase genes in gut commensal Bacteroides species and to assess the impact of these enzymes, when carried by outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), in protecting enteric pathogens and commensals.
