Detection of extended spectrum B-lactamases in urinary isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in relation to Bla SHV, Bla TEM and Bla CTX-M gene carriage [PDF]
Background: Resistance to contemporary broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics mediated by extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is increasing worldwide.

Whole-genome sequencing of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to track strain progression in a single patient with recurrent urinary tract infection [PDF]
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important uropathogen that increasingly harbors broad-spectrum antibiotic resistance determinants. Evidence suggests that some same-strain recurrences in women with frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) may emanate from a ...

ABSTRACT Ziziphus budhensis Bhattarai & M.L. Pathak is a specie described in 2015 in Nepal poorly studied for its phytochemical composition and possible bioactivities. In this study, six extracts were obtained from Z. budhensis leaves using ultrasound assisted extraction with solvents in increasing polarity namely hexane, dichloromethane, chloroform ...

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

South African Propolis: Anti‐Helicobacter pylori Activity, Chemistry, and Toxicity
ABSTRACT Propolis, a resin‐like substance produced by bees, has previously shown antimicrobial activity against the ulcer‐causing gut pathogen Helicobacter pylori. South African propolis, however, was yet to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate a comprehensive range of South African propolis for its antimicrobial activity against H.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is able to trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in cultured airway epithelial cells [PDF]
The ability of some bacterial pathogens to activate Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition normally is a consequence of the persistence of a local chronic inflammatory response or depends on a direct interaction of the pathogens with the host epithelial cells.

Combining bacterially inactivated antibiotics with antibacterial essential oils (EOs) is an alternative combinatorial therapy against antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, as EOs can also modulate resistance. Apart from the rehabilitation of the antibiotic, this combination is probably more difficult to overcome evolutionarily due to the antibacterial mixture
