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.

Development of Polymeric Materials to Inhibit Bacterial Quorum Sensing [PDF]

, 2014
Bacterial infections are an increasing problem for human health. In fact, an increasing number of infections are caused by bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics and their combinations. A new solution to fight bacteria and infectious diseases,

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 ...

Drug resistance-conferring mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Madang, Papua New Guinea [PDF]

, 2012
: BACKGROUND: Monitoring drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential to curb the spread of tuberculosis (TB). Unfortunately, drug susceptibility testing is currently not available in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and that impairs TB control in ...

Bacterial Growth Kinetics under a Novel Flexible Methacrylate Dressing Serving as a Drug Delivery Vehicle for Antiseptics [PDF]

, 2013
A flexible methacrylate powder dressing (Altrazeal®) transforms into a wound contour conforming matrix once in contact with wound exudate. We hypothesised that it may also serve as a drug delivery vehicle for antiseptics.

Classification of Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae Based on Their in vitro Biofilm Forming Capabilities and Elucidation of the Biofilm Matrix Chemistry With Special Reference to the Protein Content

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a human pathogen, capable of forming biofilms on abiotic and biotic surfaces. The limitations of the therapeutic options against Klebsiella pneumoniae is actually due to its innate capabilities to form biofilm and harboring ...

Bacterial drug tolerance under clinical conditions is governed by anaerobic adaptation but not anaerobic respiration [PDF]

, 2014
Non-inherited antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon whereby a subpopulation of genetically identical bacteria displays phenotypic tolerance to antibiotics. We show that, compared to E. coli, the clinically relevant genus Burkholderia displays much higher
