Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) with methylene blue and 660 nm LED enhances antibiotic killing of bacteria, accelerating time‐kill kinetics and reducing the MDK99 compared to antibiotics alone. SEM confirms effective cellular damage, demonstrating that PDI potentiates amoxicillin and gentamicin against tolerant bacterial populations. ABSTRACT Bacterial

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

Mechanisms of heteroresistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Characteristic for methicillin-resistant (Mcr) staphylococci is the heterogeneous expression of the intrinsic methicillin resistance. The majority of the cells express resistance to low concentrations of methicillin, and a minority of the cells express resistance to much higher concentrations.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the significance of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus isolates [PDF]
The prevalence of heteroresistant vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) is 1.3% in published studies. Clinical associations include high-inoculum infections and glycopeptide failure, with hVISA infections associated with a 2.37-times ...

Determination of azithromycin heteroresistant Campylobacter jejuni in traveler’s diarrhea [PDF]
Campylobacter est la cause la plus fréquente de diarrhée du voyageur (TD) et de gastro-entérite bactérienne humaine. Un isolat hétérorésistant de Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), identifié par des méthodes microbiologiques et caractérisé par des techniques moléculaires, a été obtenu d'un voyageur au Népal souffrant de TD.
