Staphylococcus aureus DivIB is a peptidoglycan-binding protein that is required for a morphological checkpoint in cell division [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Bacterial cell division is a fundamental process that requires the coordinated actions of a number of proteins which form a complex macromolecular machine known as the divisome.

Impact of COVID‐19 on the Prevalence and Drug Resistance of Haemophilus influenzae in Shandong Province: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The COVID‐19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global public health, particularly the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of pathogens. This study aimed to assess the influence of COVID‐19 on the isolation rates of Haemophilus influenzae in Shandong Province, providing data support for empirical precision ...

Genomic Characterization of Pan‐Drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae KPNW Isolated From UTI Patient in Bangladesh

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate KPNW showed resistance to all clinically relevant antibiotics. Upon whole genome sequencing and characterization, we detected a large number of antimicrobial resistance genes, resistance‐associated point mutations, virulence determinants, heavy metal resistance genes, and mobile genetic elements in errorits genome ...

The 2018 Garrod Lecture: Preparing for the Black Swans of Resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The need for governments to encourage antibiotic development is widely agreed, with ‘Market Entry Rewards’ being suggested. Unless these are to be spread widely – which is unlikely given the $1 billion sums proposed– we should be wary, for this approach ...

Predicting the Proteins of Angomonas deanei, Strigomonas culicis and Their Respective Endosymbionts Reveals New Aspects of the Trypanosomatidae Family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Endosymbiont-bearing trypanosomatids have been considered excellent models for the study of cell evolution because the host protozoan co-evolves with an intracellular bacterium in a mutualistic relationship.

Impact of sar and agr on methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The global regulators agr and sar control expression of cell wall and extracellular proteins. Inactivation of either sar and/or agr in a typical heterogeneously methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus resulted in a small but reproducible decrease in ...

Identification of a new family of enzymes with potential -acetylpeptidoglycan esterase activity in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background The metabolism of the rigid bacterial cell wall heteropolymer peptidoglycan is a dynamic process requiring continuous biosynthesis and maintenance involving the coordination of both lytic and synthetic enzymes.

Imipenem Resistance in Clostridium difficile Ribotype 017, Portugal

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We describe imipenem-resistant and imipenem-susceptible clinical isolates of Clostridium difficile ribotype 017 in Portugal. All ribotype 017 isolates carried an extra penicillin-binding protein gene, pbp5, and the imipenem-resistant isolates had ...
