DRUG-RESISTANCE OF BACTERIS

The KITAKANTO Medical Journal, 1963
In the field study many types of drug-resistant E. coli, Shigella and Citrobacter were isolated by this laboratory. And seven types of transmissible drug-resistance factor were obtained; R(TC) R(SM), R(CM. TC), R(SM. SA), R(CM. SM SA), R(TC. SM. SA) and R(CM. TC.SM. SA). The R(CM) factor was segregated from (CM.

Antimicrobial peptides for combating drug-resistant bacterial infections

Drug Resistance Updates, 2023
The problem of drug resistance due to long-term use of antibiotics has been a concern for years. As this problem grows worse, infections caused by multiple bacteria are expanding rapidly and are extremely detrimental to human health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a good alternative to current antimicrobials with potent antimicrobial activity and ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Interplay in the selection of fluoroquinolone resistance and bacterial fitness. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Fluoroquinolones are antibacterial drugs that inhibit DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. These essential enzymes facilitate chromosome replication and RNA transcription by regulating chromosome supercoiling.

Multidrug resistance: Versatile drug sensors of bacterial cells [PDF]

Current Biology, 1999
One way that bacteria resist antimicrobial agents involves 'drug sensors', proteins that bind a range of structurally unrelated antimicrobial drugs and induce expression of multidrug resistance pumps. The basis for drug recognition is now becoming clear from the recently determined crystal structure of a drug sensor.

Mechanistic basis for inhibition of the extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase GES‐1 by enmetazobactam and tazobactam

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation

Multi-Drug Resistance in Bacterial Genomes—A Comprehensive Bioinformatic Analysis

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is presently one of the greatest threats to public health. The excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics imposes a continuous selective pressure that triggers the emergence of multi-drug resistance. We performed a large-scale analysis of closed bacterial genomes to identify multi-drug resistance considering the ResFinder ...

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make
