Antimicrobial Resistance in Hospital-Acquired Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections [PDF]

Chest, 2015
Aerobic gram-negative bacilli, including the family of Enterobacteriaceae and non-lactose fermenting bacteria such as Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter species, are major causes of hospital-acquired infections. The rate of antibiotic resistance among these pathogens has accelerated dramatically in recent years and has reached pandemic scale.

Repurposing of Ciclopirox to Overcome the Limitations of Zidovudine (Azidothymidine) against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria

Pharmaceutics, 2022
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria are the top-priority pathogens to be eradicated. Drug repurposing (e.g., the use of non-antibiotics to treat bacterial infections) may be helpful to overcome the limitations of current antibiotics ...

Immunotherapy in gram-negative bacterial infections.

Acta Biochimica Polonica, 1995
Endotoxins are responsible for initiation of septic shock which increases the number of fatalities in Gram-negative bacteremia among hospital patients. The mortality from septic shock is still high despite recent developments in antibiotic therapy because antibiotics are unable to decrease the level of free lipopolysaccharide in the blood stream ...

Dynamic Profiling of Lipoteichoic Acid (LTA) and/or Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Positive Extracellular Vesicles in Plasma as Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for Bacterial Infection

Advanced Science
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as promising biomarkers for diagnosing bacterial infections. This study explores the diagnostic potential of plasma EVs carrying bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or lipoteichoic acid (LTA).
