Azithromycin (AZM) is efficient for treatment of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm lung infections, despite of resistance in conventional susceptibility testing. It has been shown that planktonic P. aeruginosa are more susceptible to AZM when tested in RPMI 1640 medium. The aim of the study was to test the susceptibility to AZM of P.

Current Perspectives on Treatment of Gram‐Positive Infections in India: What Is the Way Forward?
The emerging antimicrobial resistance leading to gram‐positive infections (GPIs) is one of the major public health threats worldwide. GPIs caused by multidrug resistant bacteria can result in increased morbidity and mortality rates along with escalated treatment cost and hospitalisation stay.

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 ...

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

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.
