Non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae in hallux ulceration

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2022
Introduction: Toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae causes classical diphtheria. Skin infections by toxigenic or non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae are prevalent in the tropics but are rarely reported.

Resisting Bacterial Drug Resistance [PDF]

Chemistry & Biology, 2003
In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Wright and colleagues report an elegant method for inhibiting enzymes critical for rendering bacteria drug resistant. By using cationic peptides as inhibitors, the authors have exploited two antibacterial mechanisms, making it doubly difficult for microbial retaliation.

The antimicrobial polymer PHMB enters cells and selectively condenses bacterial chromosomes [PDF]

, 2016
To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) kills bacteria selectively over host cells.

Veterinary Medicine Needs New Green Antimicrobial Drugs [PDF]

, 2016
Given that: (1) the worldwide consumption of antimicrobial drugs (AMDs) used in food-producing animals will increase over the coming decades; (2) the prudent use of AMDs will not suffice to stem the rise in human antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of animal ...

Pharmacodynamic modelling of in vitro activity of tetracycline against a representative, naturally occurring population of porcine Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2015
Background The complex relationship between drug concentrations and bacterial growth rates require not only the minimum inhibitory concentration but also other parameters to capture the dynamic nature of the relationship.

Oxygen Limitation Enhances the Antimicrobial Activity of Fosfomycin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Following Overexpression of glpT Which Encodes Glycerol-3-Phosphate/Fosfomycin Symporter

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Fosfomycin is resurfacing as a “last resort drug” to treat infections caused by multidrug resistant pathogens. This drug has a remarkable benefit in that its activity increases under oxygen-limited conditions unlike other commonly used antimicrobials ...

Isolation and characterization of multiple drug resistance bacterial pathogens from waste water in hospital and non-hospital environments, Northwest Ethiopia

BMC Research Notes, 2014
The importance of bacterial isolates from waste water environment as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance and a potential source of novel resistance genes to clinical pathogens is underestimated.

Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]

, 2017
Bacterial biofilm is a major factor in delayed wound healing and high levels of biofilm production have been repeatedly described in multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs).
