Microbial Etiology and Antimicrobial Resistance in Pneumonia Among Hospitalized Patients in Kazakhstan: A Systematic Review and Single‐Arm Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence Data

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lower respiratory tract, commonly caused by infection and associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare utilization. The burden of pneumonia on healthcare is exacerbated by limited data on pathogenic causes and associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we conducted

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 ...

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.
