Can octapeptin antibiotics combat extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria? [PDF]
Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2018 The octapeptins are a family of cyclic lipopeptides first reported in the 1970s then largely ignored. At the time, their reported antibiotic activity against polymyxin-resistant bacteria was a curiosity. Today, the advent of widespread drug resistance in Gram-negative bacteria has prompted their 'rediscovery.' The paucity of new antibiotics in the ...

The Genetic Structures of an Extensively Drug Resistant (XDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae and Its Plasmids. [PDF]
Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2018 Multi-, extensively-, and pan-drug resistant bacteria are a threat to our health today, because their wide resistance spectra make their infections difficult to cure. In this work, we isolated an extensively drug resistant (XDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae 2-1 strain from the stool sample of a patient diagnosed of colorectal cancer. K.
