Rapid prediction of inducible clarithromycin resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2015
We have developed a single tube TaqMan(®) real-time PCR assay that differentiates the full-length and truncated erm(41) gene to predict inducible resistance to clarithromycin in Mycobacterium abscessus. A study of 87 clinical isolates found this assay to be 90.8% concordant to conventional drug susceptibility testing results for the prediction of ...

Lung organoids as a human system for Mycobacteria infection modeling and drug testing

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), are still public health issues. In 2023, TB caused 1.25 million deaths, while NTM remain a clinical challenge for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Effect of plaunotol in combination with clarithromycin against clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007
Recently, there has been a decrease in the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori due to the increase in antibiotic resistance of this bacterium. Plaunotol, a cytoprotective anti-ulcer agent, exhibits antibacterial activity against H. pylori. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of plaunotol in combination with clarithromycin

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...
