DOTA‐grafted Cationic Polymers Behaving as Powerful Macromolecular Resistance‐reversal Agents (MRRAs) Combating Against New Delhi Metallo‐β‐lactamase (NDM)‐producing Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Two macromolecular resistance‐reversal agents (MRRAs)—linear (MRRAL) and nanostructured (MRRAN) polymers were fabricated by integrating DOTA motifs into tunable polycationic scaffolds. MRRAs exhibit superior antibacterial potency once combined with meropenem (MEM) through (i) bacterial membrane disruption via localized cationic charge and ...

Clonal distribution of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae [PDF]

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2015
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme including 7 housekeeping genes was used to evaluate whether the current spread of multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates worldwide might be associated to specific successful clones. Fifty E. cloacae clinical isolates of worldwide origin, with various β-lactamase content, and recovered at different ...

Secondary bacterial infections of buruli ulcer lesions before and after chemotherapy with streptomycin and rifampicin [PDF]

, 2013
Buruli ulcer (BU), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans is a chronic necrotizing skin disease. It usually starts with a subcutaneous nodule or plaque containing large clusters of extracellular acid-fast bacilli.

Plant‐Derived Melatonin Inhibits Bacterial Virulence via CpxA/R Two‐Component System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived melatonin is sensed by CpxAE48/T51, which inhibits the phosphorylation cascade transmission from CpxAH240 to CpxRD52, resulting in the inhibition of DNA‐binding capacity of CpxR and subsequent T3SS genes expression in Pst DC3000. ABSTRACT In defending against pathogens, plants deploy diverse secondary metabolites and signaling molecules ...

Enzymatic Basis for the Oxidative Branch of Aromatic Amino Acid Fermentation Leading to p‐cresol Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In anaerobic bacteria, tyrosine serves as an electron donor in the oxidative Stickland fermentation branch, generating p‐hydroxyphenylacetate, ATP and reduced ferredoxin for decarboxylation into p‐cresol. ABSTRACT The phenolic metabolite p‐cresol is a byproduct of tyrosine fermentation by certain strictly anaerobic bacteria, including the human gut ...

IMI-Type Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacter cloacae Complex, France and Overseas Regions, 2012–2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We characterized a collection of IMI-like–producing Enterobacter spp. isolates (n = 112) in France. The main clone corresponded to IMI-1–producing sequence type 820 E. cloacae subspecies cloacae that was involved in an outbreak.

Significance of Self‐Expandable Metallic Stent for Postoperative Intra‐Abdominal Infection After Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients With a Hard Pancreas

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are often used for preoperative biliary drainage in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD); however, their impact on postoperative intra‐abdominal infection (POAI) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of SEMS in relation to POAI.

Impact of Prophylactic Cefepime on Surgical Site Infection and Severe Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy With Preoperative Biliary Drainage

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although prophylactic broad‐spectrum antibiotics can reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the optimal regimen remains uncertain. This study evaluated the impact of prophylactic cefepime (CFPM) on surgical site infection (SSI) and severe morbidity after PD with preoperative biliary drainage.

Effect of Broad‐Spectrum Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Post‐Pancreatoduodenectomy Infectious Complications: Nationwide Inpatient Database Study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Using a nationwide Japanese inpatient database, we evaluated whether broad‐spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis improves postoperative outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy compared with narrow‐spectrum antibiotics. In propensity score–weighted analyses of 45 099 patients, broad‐spectrum prophylaxis was associated with significantly lower rates of intra ...
