Selenium nanoparticles render pandrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii susceptible to colistin

Macedonian Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2022
Colistin is used as a “last resort” drug in the treatmentof carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanniiinfections. Though not the most convenient option due tothe serious side effects, this antibiotic can be very efficientif administered properly (Garnacho-Montero and Timsit,2019). However, for several years now, we are witnessinga steady emergence of

High prevalence of mgrB-mediated colistin resistance among carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with biofilm formation, and can be overcome by colistin-EDTA combination therapy

Scientific Reports, 2022
The global prevalence of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (ColRkp) facilitated by chromosomal and plasmid-mediated Ara4N or PEtN-remodeled LPS alterations has steadily increased with increased colistin usage for treating carbapenem-resistant K ...
