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

Chronic arsenic exposure and microbial drug resistance. [PDF]
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
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

Fighting microbial drug resistance: a primer on the role of evolutionary biology in public health. [PDF]
Although microbes have been evolving resistance to antimicrobials for millennia, the spread of resistance in pathogen populations calls for the development of new drugs and treatment strategies. We propose that successful, long‐term resistance management

Transfer of Infectious Drug Resistance in Microbially Defined Mice [PDF]
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.

Microbial Colonization and Drug Resistance in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Article type: Original Article Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. CF caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and characterized by impaired transport of chloride ions across the cell membrane.

Updates on microbial resistance to drugs
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 ...
