Navigating fluoroquinolone resistance in Gram-negative bacteria: a comprehensive evaluation. [PDF]

JAC Antimicrob Resist
Since the introduction of quinolone and fluoroquinolone antibiotics to treat bacterial infections in the 1960s, there has been a pronounced increase in the number of bacterial species that have developed resistance to fluoroquinolone treatment.

Mycoplasma genitalium infections can comprise a mixture of both fluoroquinolone-susceptible and fluoroquinolone-resistant strains

, 2021
BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma genitalium was recently added to the CDC's antimicrobial resistance threats 'watch list', as it has rapidly become resistant to mainstay treatments.

Using machine learning to predict antibiotic resistance to support optimal empiric treatment of urinary tract infections

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2022
Background: Antibiotic resistance is pervasive in the Veterans’ Affairs (VA) healthcare system, with rates of fluoroquinolone and trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) resistance approaching 30% in E. coli urinary isolates.

Antimicrobial resistance among commensal isolates of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the Indonesian population inside and outside hospitals [PDF]

, 2008
The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among the commensal microflora was examined in the Indonesian population inside and outside hospitals. A total of 3,995 individuals were screened in two major urban centers.

Initial resistance to companion drugs should not be considered an exclusion criterion for the shorter multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment regimen

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Objectives: We investigated whether companion drug resistance was associated with adverse outcomes of the shorter multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment regimen in Bangladesh after adjustment for fluoroquinolone resistance.

Induction of prophages by fluoroquinolones in Streptococcus pneumoniae: implications for emergence of resistance in genetically-related clones.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae has increased worldwide by the spread of a few clones. Fluoroquinolone resistance occurs mainly by alteration of their intracellular targets, the type II DNA topoisomerases, which is acquired either by ...

Acquired fluoroquinolone resistance genes in corneal isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]

, 2020
Fluoroquinolones are widely used as an empirical therapy for pseudomonal ocular infections. Based on increasing reports on acquired fluoroquinolone resistance genes in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we investigated 33 strains of P ...

Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Campylobacter

Journal of Food Protection, 2010
Campylobacter is a commensal in poultry, and therefore, poultry and poultry products are major sources of Campylobacter infections in humans. Fluoroquinolones inhibit the growth of Campylobacter and other microorganisms by binding to bacterial DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV.

Dissociated resistance among fluoroquinolones [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1994
A panel of 190 clinical isolates of staphylococci, enterococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and nonfermentative gram-negative bacilli were examined by agar dilution tests for susceptibility to five quinolones and six nonquinolone agents. Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and staphylococci were divided into

Defining fluoroquinolone resistance-mediating mutations from non-resistance polymorphisms in Mycoplasma hominis Topoisomerases [PDF]

, 2021
Often dismissed as a commensal, Mycoplasma hominis is an increasingly prominent target of research due to its role in septic arthritis and organ transplant failure in immunosuppressed patients, particularly lung transplantation.
