An Efficient, One-Pot Synthesis of Fosfomycin Dialkyl Esters from (R)-2-Tosyloxypropanal [PDF]
(R)-2-Tosyloxypropanal (4) was prepared from D-mannitol in a 7-step sequence (51% overall yield). Addition of dialkyl phosphonates to 4 in the presence of titanium isopropoxide and the subsequent treatment with DBU stereoselectively afforded, in one-pot,

The Gut Resistome Atlas in Preterm Infants Enables Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Onset
The gut resistome of preterm infants and its clinical relevance remain poorly understood. This study performs in‐depth integrative analyses of 5,684 gut metagenomes from preterm infants, uncovering distinct features that diverge from term infants. Notably, the gut resistome of preterm infants converges 9 days before necrotizing enterocolitis onset ...

Exploring dangerous connections between Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms and healthcare-associated infections [PDF]
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a huge public health concern,particularly when the etiological agents are multidrug resistant. The ability of bacteria to develop biofilm is a helpful skill, both to persist within hospital units and to ...

Antibacterial Efficacy of Two Commercially Available Bacteriophage Formulations, Staphylococcal Bacteriophage and PYO Bacteriophage, Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Prevention and Eradication of Biofilm Formation and Control of a Systemic Infection of Galleria mellonella Larvae [PDF]
Sessile bacteria growing on surfaces are more resistant to standard antibiotics than their planktonic counterpart. Due to their antimicrobial properties, bacteriophages have re-emerged as a promising approach to treat bacterial biofilm-associated ...

Identification of a novel chromosome-encoded fosfomycin resistance gene fosC3 in Aeromonas caviae
BackgroundOwing to the rapid emerging of multidrug-, even pandrug-resistant pathogens, and lack of new antibiotics, the older antibiotic, fosfomycin, has been reused in recent years in the clinical practice, especially for treatment of uropathogen ...

Antibiotic Use in Livestock: A Driver of Resistance in Africa and the Path to Safer Alternatives
The incorporation of antibiotics into animal feeds is one of the drivers of antibiotic resistance, a global One Health challenge. To reduce the burden of antibiotic resistance, the use of alternative growth promoters and drugs must be promoted, as well as sensitization and implementation of regulations.
