Collateral sensitivity: An evolutionary trade‐off between antibiotic resistance mechanisms, attractive for dealing with drug‐resistance crisis

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, 2023
The discovery and development of antimicrobial drugs were one of the most significant advances in medicine, but the evolution of microbial resistance limited the efficiency of these drugs.

The Impact of Triclosan on the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance in the Environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Triclosan (TCS) is a commonly used antimicrobial agent that enters wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the environment. An estimated 1.1 × 105 to 4.2 × 105 kg of TCS are discharged from these WWTPs per year in the United States.

Microbial Biofilm: A Review on Formation, Infection, Antibiotic Resistance, Control Measures, and Innovative Treatment

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Biofilm is complex and consists of bacterial colonies that reside in an exopolysaccharide matrix that attaches to foreign surfaces in a living organism. Biofilm frequently leads to nosocomial, chronic infections in clinical settings.

Drug Resistance in Eukaryotic Microorganisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Eukaryotic microbial pathogens are major contributors to illness and death globally. Although much of their impact can be controlled by drug therapy as with prokaryotic microorganisms, the emergence of drug resistance has threatened these treatment ...

Next-generation sequencing and PCR technologies in monitoring the hospital microbiome and its drug resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The hospital environment significantly contributes to the onset of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), which represent one of the most frequent complications occurring in healthcare facilities worldwide.

Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Bacterial biofilm is a major factor in delayed wound healing and high levels of biofilm production have been repeatedly described in multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs).

Model Systems of Human Intestinal Flora, to Set Acceptable Daily Intakes of Antimicrobial Residues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The veterinary use of antimicrobial drugs in food producing animals may result in residues in food, that might modify the consumer gut flora. This review compares three model systems that maintain a complex flora of human origin: (i) human flora ...

Updates on microbial resistance to drugs

open access: yesAfrican 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 ...

Inactivation of the antidiabetic drug acarbose by human intestinal microbial-mediated degradation

open access: yesNature Metabolism, 2023
The antidiabetic drug acarbose is shown to be degraded by a Klebsiella species present in the human gut, which is enriched with acarbose treatment and might mediate acarbose resistance and variations in clinical efficacy observed in patients.
