Chronic arsenic exposure and microbial drug resistance. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013
Resistance to antimicrobial drugs represents one of the greatest threats to the control of infectious diseases and is a particular problem in treating diseases caused by parasitic protists. These pathogens are of enormous medical importance, causing diseases such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis, and leishmaniasis. In the absence of effective

Predicting allostery and microbial drug resistance with molecular simulations. [PDF]

Curr Opin Struct Biol, 2018
Beta-lactamase enzymes mediate the most common forms of gram-negative antibiotic resistance affecting clinical treatment. They also constitute an excellent model system for the difficult problem of understanding how allosteric mutations can augment catalytic activity of already-competent enzymes.

Modeling microbial drug-resistance: from mathematics to pharmacoeconomics

Фармакоэкономика, 2018
Complicated intra-abdominal infection (IAI) requires increased health care expenditures and additional resources to compensate for an ineffective starting therapy.Aim. To select the economically optimal algorithm for using antimicrobial agents (AMA) that

Biocide-Resistant Escherichia coli ST540 Co-Harboring ESBL, dfrA14 Confers QnrS-Dependent Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance

Antibiotics, 2022
Emerging sequence types of pathogenic bacteria have a dual ability to acquire resistance islands/determinants, and remain renitent towards disinfection practices; therefore, they are considered “critical risk factors” that contribute significantly to the

Phenotypic Characterization and Heterogeneity among Modern Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium prioritized by WHO and CDC because of its increasing antibiotic resistance. Heterogeneity among strains represents the hallmark of A. baumannii bacteria.

Antimicrobial Activity of a Repurposed Harmine-Derived Compound on Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
ObjectivesThe spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is an important threat for human health. Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria impose such a major issue, as multidrug- to pandrug-resistant strains have been isolated, rendering some infections ...

Geraniol-a potential alternative to antibiotics for bovine mastitis treatment without disturbing the host microbial community or causing drug residues and resistance

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Mastitis is one of the most prevalent diseases of dairy cows. Currently, mastitis treatment in dairy cows is mainly based on antibiotics. However, the use of antibiotics causes adverse effects, including drug resistance, drug residues, host-microbiome ...

Quorum-Sensing Regulation of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacteria

Microorganisms, 2020
Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication system that exists widely in the microbiome and is related to cell density. The high-density colony population can generate a sufficient number of small molecule signals, activate a variety of downstream ...
