Effectiveness of Antibiotics: Anti-Bacterial Activity or Microbial Drug Resistance?

Bangladesh Journal of Microbiology, 2020
Antibiotics, both broad- and narrow spectrum, are widely used for treatment of specific infection by a consortium of microorganisms or by a single pathogen, respectively. Oral or intravenous, or even topical administration of different categories of antibiotics in various forms is a common practice round the globe.

Hygiene: microbial strategies to reduce pathogens and drug resistance in clinical settings

Microbial Biotechnology, 2017
SummaryHealthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) are a global concern, affecting all western hospitals, and profoundly impairing the clinical outcome of up to 15% of all hospitalized patients. Persistent microbial contamination of hospital surfaces has been suggested to contribute to HAIs onset, representing a reservoir for hospital pathogens.

An exploration of the ocular mysteries linking nanoparticles to the patho-therapeutic effects against keratitis [PDF]

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Microbial keratitis, a sight-threatening corneal infection, remains a significant global health concern. Conventional therapies using antimicrobial agents often suffers from limitations such as poor drug penetration, side effects, and occurrence of drug ...

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 ...

Does Non-Genetic Heterogeneity Facilitate the Development of Genetic Drug Resistance? [PDF]

BioEssays, 43: e2100043 (2021), 2021
Non-genetic forms of antimicrobial drug resistance can result from cell-to-cell variability that is not encoded in the genetic material. Data from recent studies also suggest that non-genetic mechanisms can facilitate the development of genetic drug resistance.
