Development of resistance during ceftazidime and cefepime therapy in a murine peritonitis model [PDF]
, 2017 Resistance emerging after ceftazidime or cefepime therapy was investigated in a peritonitis model. Mice were given a peritoneal challenge (102 cfu plus talcum) and treated by either antibiotic (50 mg/kg/dose, which produced similar antibiotic ...

Programmed Secretion Arrest and Receptor-Triggered Toxin Export during Antibacterial Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition [PDF]
, 2018 Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) entails receptor-mediated delivery of CdiA-derived toxins into Gram-negative target bacteria. Using electron cryotomography, we show that each CdiA effector protein forms a filament extending ∼33 nm from the cell
