Model Systems of Human Intestinal Flora, to Set Acceptable Daily Intakes of Antimicrobial Residues [PDF]

, 2000
The veterinary use of antimicrobial drugs in food producing animals may result in residues in food, that might modify the consumer gut flora. This review compares three model systems that maintain a complex flora of human origin: (i) human flora ...

Antimicrobial profile of Acinetobacter baumannii at a tertiary hospital in Honduras: a cross-sectional analysis

Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii is considered to be a worldwide threat to public health due to its high antimicrobial resistance rates and the severe infections it can cause. Little is known about this pathogen’s resistance in Central America.

Exploring Phytochemicals for Combating Antibiotic Resistance in Microbial Pathogens

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Antibiotic resistance or microbial drug resistance is emerging as a serious threat to human healthcare globally, and the multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains are imposing major hurdles to the progression of drug discovery programs.

Updates on microbial resistance to drugs

African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2012
The treatment of bacterial infections and other microbial infections is increasingly complicated by the ability of bacteria and other microbes to develop resistance to antimicrobial agents. Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents or chemotherapeutic agents had been attributed to their ability to bypass or overcome the various mechanisms by which ...

Transfer of Infectious Drug Resistance in Microbially Defined Mice [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1969
Germ-free mice were intentionally associated with drug-resistant donor strains of Escherichia coli known to carry R factors and with drug-sensitive recipient strains. In vivo transfer of R factors was observed in all experiments, involving five different donor-recipient combinations.

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]

, 2019
Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
