Comparison of methods for detection of plasmid-mediated and chromosomally encoded colistin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: Because of the emergence of plasmid-mediated (mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes) and chromosomally encoded colistin resistance, reliable methods for detecting colistin resistance/susceptibility in routine laboratories are required.

Phylogeny, Resistome, and Virulome of Escherichia coli Causing Biliary Tract Infections [PDF]

, 2019
Escherichia coli is the most frequent Gram-negative bacilli involved in intra-abdominal infections. However, despite high mortality rates associated with biliary tract infections due to E. coli, there is no study focusing on this pathogen. In this study,

Study of the Equine Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bacterium With a High Ability to Form Biofilms and Changes in Its Properties Under the Influence of Farnesol

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In developed countries, given the prevalence of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), therapeutic options for treating such infections have become limited. In developing countries and Russia, little is known about resistance to antibiotics for St. aureus in veterinary medicine.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of colistin heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Antibiotic heteroresistance is a common phenotype observed in a variety of pathogenic bacteria such as K. pneumonia: A subpopulation of cells with a higher MIC than the dominant population is defined as heteroresistance.

Accuracy of line probe assays for the diagnosis of pulmonary and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

, 2017
Only 25% of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases are currently diagnosed. Line probe assays (LPAs) enable rapid drug-susceptibility testing for rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistance and Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection.
