Characterization and in vitro Analysis of Probiotic-Derived Peptides Against Multi Drug Resistance Bacterial Infections. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2020An inexorable switch from antibiotics has become a major desideratum to overcome antibiotic resistance. Bacteriocin from Lactobacillus casei, a cardinal probiotic was used to design novel antibacterial peptides named as Probiotic Bacteriocin Derived and ...

Origin and Proliferation of Multiple-Drug Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2015SUMMARY Many studies report the high prevalence of multiply drug-resistant (MDR) strains. Because MDR infections are often significantly harder and more expensive to treat, they represent a growing public health threat. However, for different pathogens, different underlying mechanisms are traditionally used to explain these observations, and ...

Predicting bacterial fitness cost associated with drug resistance [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2012It has been proposed that antimicrobial resistance could be associated with a fitness cost in bacteria, which is often determined by competition experiments between isogenic strains (wild-type and mutant). However, this conventional approach is time consuming and labour intensive.

An approach to identifying drug resistance associated mutations in bacterial strains [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2012Drug resistance in bacterial pathogens is an increasing problem, which stimulates research. However, our understanding of drug resistance mechanisms remains incomplete. Fortunately, the fast-growing number of fully sequenced bacterial strains now enables us to develop new methods to identify mutations associated with drug resistance.We present a new ...
