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

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

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

Microbial Persistence and the Road to Drug Resistance [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2013 Microbial drug persistence is a widespread phenomenon in which a subpopulation of microorganisms is able to survive antimicrobial treatment without acquiring resistance-conferring genetic changes. Microbial persisters can cause recurrent or intractable infections, and, like resistant mutants, they carry an increasing clinical burden.

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.

Transfer of Infectious Drug Resistance in Microbially Defined Mice [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1969 Germ-free mice were intentionally associated with drug-resistant donor strains of Escherichia coli known to carry R factors and with drug-sensitive recipient strains. In vivo transfer of R factors was observed in all experiments, involving five different donor-recipient combinations.

Updates on microbial resistance to drugs
African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2012 The treatment of bacterial infections and other microbial infections is increasingly complicated by the ability of bacteria and other microbes to develop resistance to antimicrobial agents. Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents or chemotherapeutic agents had been attributed to their ability to bypass or overcome the various mechanisms by which ...
