The Association between Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Genotype and Drug Resistance in Peru.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundThe comparison of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterial genotypes with phenotypic, demographic, geospatial and clinical data improves our understanding of how strain lineage influences the development of drug-resistance and the spread of ...

Defence against bacterial drug resistance. [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1976
Everyone knows that acquired microbic resistance is the Achilles heel of chemotherapy. All living things can acquire some resistance to noxious agents-man to morphine, for instance. Bacteria are no exception: they can become more resistant in some degree even to ordinary germicides.

Gut microbiota alterations in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We investigated the impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the gut microbiota in patients with locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Overall gut microbiota composition remained largely stable throughout CRT while antibiotic exposure may influence microbial diversity.

Interventions on Metabolism: Making Antibiotic-Susceptible Bacteria

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Antibiotics act on bacterial metabolism, and antibiotic resistance involves changes in this metabolism. Interventions on metabolism with drugs might therefore modify drug susceptibility and drug resistance.

Lipopolysaccharide uptake is augmented in lipopolysaccharide‐tolerant mouse macrophage‐like cells via increased CD14 expression

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In normal (nontolerant) cells, CD14 is crucial for both LPS uptake and LPS signaling. In LPS‐tolerant cells, in which LPS‐induced TNF‐α and IFN‐β production is suppressed, there is a dramatic increase in surface CD14 expression. The overexpressed CD14 in LPS‐tolerant cells is responsible for the enhanced LPS uptake without inducing pro‐inflammatory ...

Drugs Repurposing for Multi-Drug Resistant Bacterial Infections

open access: yes, 2020
Different institutions recognized that antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat that has compounded by the reduction in the discovery and development of new antimicrobial agents. Therefore, the development of new antimicrobial therapeutic strategies requires immediate attention to avoid the 10 million deaths predicted to occur by 2050 as a ...

Time‐restricted feeding prior to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection reduces tissue CD4+ T cells with limited impact on bacterial clearance

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) in mice increased liver fatty acid oxidation and decreased fatty acid biosynthesis. These alterations persisted when TRF was discontinued and the host was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pre‐exposure to TRF did not alter tissue (lung and spleen) mycobacterial burden but significantly reduced CD3+ T cells in lungs

Investigating colistin drug resistance: The role of high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
Bacterial infections involving antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria continue to increase and represent a major global public health concern.
