Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the phenotypic characteristics of CD and the evolution of CD strains to overt resistance. Additionally,

Time-programmable drug dosing allows the manipulation, suppression and reversal of antibiotic drug resistance in vitro [PDF]
, 2017 Multi-drug strategies have been attempted to prolong the efficacy of existing antibiotics, but with limited success. Here we show that the evolution of multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli can be manipulated in vitro by administering pairs of ...

Heteroresistance to Fluconazole and Voriconazole in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1999 ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans isolates that exhibited unusual patterns of resistance to fluconazole and voriconazole were isolated from seven isolates from two different geographical regions: one isolate from an Israeli non-AIDS patient and six serial isolates from an Italian AIDS patient who had suffered six ...

The highly dynamic nature of bacterial heteroresistance impairs its clinical detection
Communications Biology, 2021 Bacterial populations can show heteroresistance, where an antibiotic resistant subpopulation is part of a susceptible one. Pereira et al. show in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica that disk diffusion, a common antibiotic susceptibility test ...

Resolving colistin resistance and heteroresistance in Enterobacter species
Nature Communications, 2022 Abstract Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) represent globally important nosocomial pathogens. A three-year study of ECC in Germany identified Enterobacter xiangfangensis as the most common species (65.5%) detected, a result replicated by examining a global pool of 3246 isolates.
