Prevalence of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical samples in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacteriaceae poses a significant global threat, particularly in developing countries. Colistin, a critical last-resort treatment for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant and multidrug-resistant strains,

Outer membrane permeability of mcr-positive bacteria reveals potent synergy of colistin and macromolecular antibiotics against colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Frontiers in Microbiology
Colistin (CT) is the last-resort of antibiotic against multidrug-resistance (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) infection. However, colistin resistance is increasingly reported in A.

Prevalence and Genomic Characterization of mcr‐Positive Enterobacteriaceae in Retail Meat in Thailand Following the Colistin Ban

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of mcr‐positive Enterobacteriaceae in retail meat in Thailand following the national ban on prophylactic colistin use in food producing animals. A total of 152 meat samples (103 chicken and 49 pork) were collected from supermarkets and open markets between July and September ...

Comprehensive insights into colistin and colistin resistance: updated regulations and policies on colistin usage and alternative strategies for mitigation and prevention of colistin resistance

Novel Research in Microbiology Journal
The increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has a significant impact on healthcare, leading to longer hospital stays and higher economic costs. This is primarily caused by the over and inappropriate use of antibiotics. Microorganisms have developed various mechanisms to combat the effects of antibiotics, including modifying their genetic material to

Carriage of antimicrobial‐resistant E. coli in urban stray cats (Felis catus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli is a growing concern in both human and veterinary medicine, driven by the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. Companion animals may act as community reservoirs and sentinels for antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria due to their close contact with humans and other animals.

Penfluridol synergizes with colistin to reverse colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacilli. [PDF]

Sci Rep
The growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance in multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB), exacerbated by the misuse of antibiotics, presents a critical global health challenge. Colistin, a last-resort antibiotic for severe MDR-GNB infections, has faced diminishing efficacy due to the emergence of colistin-resistant (COL-R) strains.

Chemical agents to control biofilm formation in step 1 of care—Toothpastes and mouthwashes/concepts and challenges

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is important for overall oral care, ensuring the well‐being of teeth and their surrounding tissues. In addition, it promotes fresh breath and a pleasing smile. A key element of oral self‐care is the daily use of toothpaste during regular brushing.

MCR-1 Confers Cross-Resistance to Bacitracin, a Widely Used In-Feed Antibiotic

mSphere, 2018
Extensive use of colistin in food animals is deemed a major driving force for the emergence and transmission of mcr-1. However, a non-colistin usage factor(s) contributing to mobile colistin resistance may also exist in animal production systems.
