Ketolide Resistance Conferred by Short Peptides [PDF]
Clones expressing pentapeptides conferring resistance to a ketolide antibiotic, HMR3004, were selected from a random pentapeptide mini-gene library. The pentapeptide MRFFV conferred the highest level of resistance and was encoded in three different mini-genes. Comparison of amino acid sequences of peptides conferring resistance to a ketolide with those

Abstract Background Hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) are reported for the macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramins (MLS) antibiotic family. Data about cross‐reactivity among and between MLS remain scarce or controversial. Objectives The aim of this study was to provide an overview of hypersensitivity cross‐reactions among MLSs based on data ...

Abstract ECDC, EFSA and EMA have jointly established a list of harmonised outcome indicators to assist EU Member States in assessing their progress in reducing the use of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and food‐producing animals. The proposed indicators have been selected on the basis of data collected by Member States

The antibiotic resistance crisis and the development of new antibiotics
The current Lilliput review analyses the question whether scientific or economic hurdles prevented the registration of new antibiotics. Scientifically, substantial progress has been achieved over recent years. The lack of profitability for costly novel antibiotic development necessitates push and pull efforts of the public sector to complement what the

South African actinobacteria: A treasure trove of novel bioactive metabolites for drug discovery
Although South Africa is known as one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, based on its unique plants and animals, microorganisms have received much less attention.

In Vitro Activity of the Ketolide ABT-773 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The in vitro activities of ABT-773, azithromycin, erythromycin, and clindamycin were compared by testing 1,223 clinical isolates selected to represent different species and phenotypes. ABT-773 was particularly potent against staphylococci (the MIC at which 90% of the strains tested were inhibited [MIC 90

The energy landscape of the ribosome
Abstract The ribosome is a prototypical assembly that can be used to establish general principles and techniques for the study of biological molecular machines. Motivated by the fact that the dynamics of every biomolecule is governed by an underlying energy landscape, there has been great interest to understand and quantify ribosome energetics.
