NCY‐1 β‐Lactamase Activity Correlates With Antimicrobial Susceptibility of a Clinical Strain of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study shows a strong correlation between the β‐lactam susceptibility profile of a clinical isolate of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and the activity of its β‐lactamase, NCY‐1. Inhibitors of NCY‐1 reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration of amoxicillin.

Reversing Antibiotic Resistance: Strategies From Adjuvants to Innovative Therapeutics

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Molecular reversal strategies against antibiotic resistance act through three mechanisms: inhibiting resistance gene function, blocking horizontal gene transfer, and modulating host defense. Emerging technologies, such as CRISPR‐Cas gene editing, photodynamic therapy, nanotechnology, and ecological competition, further strengthen these approaches ...

Clinical Epidemiological Analysis of the Genotypic Spectrum and Mortality Risk in Carbapenem‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) Infections

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a global public health threat, with significantly increased morbidity and mortality among high‐risk inpatients. High‐risk genotypes of CRKP, primarily including K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), oxacillinase‐48–like (OXA‐48–like), New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase (NDM), imipenemase ...

Investigating the Effect of Xylitol on ompK36 Overexpression, Increased Meropenem Susceptibility, and Antibiofilm Activity in a Carbapenem‐Resistant Clinical Strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant public health threat due to limited therapeutic options. This study investigated the potential of xylitol, a sugar alcohol, to enhance meropenem activity and combat biofilms in a clinical carbapenem‐resistant K. pneumoniae strain (Kp5) and a standard susceptible strain (K. pneumoniae subsp.

A Review of β‐Lactamase Inhibitors in Clinical Use and Development: Mechanisms, Spectrum, and Therapeutic Applications

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
β‐Lactam antibiotics have long served as a cornerstone for treating bacterial infections. However, their widespread and often indiscriminate use has fueled the emergence of multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative pathogens, primarily through the production and dissemination of β‐lactamase enzymes.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.

Association of Vancomycin Plus Piperacillin‐Tazobactam With Acute Kidney Injury: Differentiating Pseudo‐Injury From True Nephrotoxicity

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The combination of vancomycin and piperacillin‐tazobactam (VPT) is widely used for severe infections, but its potential synergistic nephrotoxicity remains debated. This study used the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database via AERSMine to assess the risk of AKI with VPT and vancomycin plus carbapenems (VC), compared to other ...
