Synergistic Effects of Capric Acid and Colistin against Colistin-Susceptible and Colistin-Resistant Enterobacterales

Antibiotics, 2022
Colistin is a last-line antibiotic against Gram-negative pathogens. However, the emergence of colistin resistance has substantially reduced the clinical effectiveness of colistin.

Eugenol works synergistically with colistin against colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates by enhancing membrane permeability

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Colistin is a potent antibiotic for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and is considered a last-resort drug. Unfortunately, the incidence of colistin-resistant bacteria isolated from patients is continuously growing due to ...

Emergence of Colistin Resistance in Carbapenem-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Under the Pressure of Tigecycline

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Colistin and tigecycline are the last options against carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP). Intersecting resistance determinants have been detected between these antibiotics; however, there is only limited evidence of such ...

Quercetin Rejuvenates Sensitization of Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae Clinical Isolates to Colistin

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Colistin is being considered as “the last ditch” treatment in many infections caused by Gram-negative stains. However, colistin is becoming increasingly invalid in treating patients who are infected with colistin-resistant Escherichia coli (E.

Two types of colistin heteroresistance in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
In this study, we investigated the colistin heteroresistance patterns in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. To identify colistin heteroresistance, population analysis profiling was performed for six in vitro colistin-susceptible A.

Determination of Colistin in Contents Derived from Gastrointestinal Tract of Feeding Treated Piglet and Broiler

Antibiotics, 2021
Colistin is considered as the last-resort treatment for multiantibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections in humans. However, the oral administration of colistin to livestock and poultry results in the introduction of large amounts of colistin

Comparison of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity between two different formulations of colistin in critically ill patients: a retrospective cohort study

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2021
Background Colistin is widely used in the treatment of nosocomial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacilli (CR-GNB). Colistin-induced nephrotoxicity is one of the major adverse reactions during colistin treatment.
