Colistin Resistance Mechanisms in Human Salmonella enterica Strains Isolated by the National Surveillance Enter-Net Italia (2016–2018)

open access: yes, 2022
Background: A collection of human-epidemiologically unrelated S. enterica strains collected over a 3-year period (2016 to 2018) in Italy by the national surveillance Enter-Net Italia was analysed.

Role of efflux pumps, their inhibitors, and regulators in colistin resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Colistin is highly promising against multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant bacteria clinically. Bacteria are resistant to colistin mainly through mcr and chromosome-mediated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis-related locus variation. However,

Colistin-resistance gene mcr in clinical carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains in China, 2014–2019

open access: yes, 2020
To investigate whether introduction of colistin into the clinical settings selected colistin-resistant CRE, we performed molecular epidemiological study of 1868 CRE strains collected from different geographical locales in China during the period 2014 ...

Broad‐Spectrum, Cell Envelope‐Active Marinocyclin Antibiotics From a Coral‐Derived Bacterium Are Effective Against Colistin‐Resistant Bacteria

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.

The effectiveness and nephrotoxicity of loading dose colistin combined with or without meropenem for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen worldwide. In Thailand, the incidence and mortality rate of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) is continuously increasing. This organism is a common pathogen that

Treatment outcome and adverse effects of colistin in adult patients with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteremia from Pakistan

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background: Polymyxins (colistin) have emerged for the treatment of carbapenem resistant (CR) gram-negative infections. There is a paucity of data on treatment outcomes and adverse effects of high-dose colistin treatment in Pakistan.

Adenylation Domain Engineering Enables Biosynthesis of an Improved Polymyxin Antibiotic

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
To enable incorporation of l‐2‐aminodecanoic acid into polymyxin by fermentation, a single Trp‐to‐Ala substitution is rationally introduced into the adenylation‐domain residue of its nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and efficiently switches substrate selectivity. The engineered strain produces biologically active Ada‐polymyxin, demonstrating that

Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Colistin (Colistin Methanesulphonate) for Severe Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections

open access: yes, 2011
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections are increasing in Taiwan hospitals, prompting the common use of colistin. In this study, the safety and efficacy of intravenous (i.v.) colistin was assessed.

Development of colistin resistance via heteroresistance modeling in : A diagnostic study [PDF]

open access: yesPrecision and Future Medicine
Purpose Colistin heteroresistance mediates the failure of antibiotic treatments, is prone to lead to colistin resistance, and has been frequently reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Colistin-Loaded Polydopamine Nanospheres Uniformly Decorated with Silver Nanodots: A Nanohybrid Platform with Improved Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Performance

open access: yes, 2020
Bacterial infections, especially chronic infections caused by bacterial biofilms, have become a worldwide threat to public health. Encouragingly, the synergistic actions of two or more antibacterial drugs have been proven to be effective in treating ...
