The Safety and Efficacy of an Oral Penicillin Challenge Program in Cancer Patients: A Multicenter Pilot Study

open access: yesOpen Forum Infectious Diseases, 2018
Antibiotic allergies are reported by up to 1 in 4 cancer patients, almost 50% of which are considered low risk and precede the cancer diagnosis. We demonstrate the successful and safe implementation of a pilot oral penicillin challenge program for cancer

Conjugation of Penicillin-G with Silver(I) Ions Expands Its Antimicrobial Activity against Gram Negative Bacteria

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Conjugation of penicillin G (PenH) with silver(I) ions forms a new CoMeD (conjugate of metal with a drug) with formula [Ag(pen)(CH3OH)]2 (PenAg). PenAg was characterized by a plethora of physical and spectroscopic techniques, which include in the solid ...

PropertyDAG: Multi-objective Bayesian optimization of partially ordered, mixed-variable properties for biological sequence design [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Bayesian optimization offers a sample-efficient framework for navigating the exploration-exploitation trade-off in the vast design space of biological sequences. Whereas it is possible to optimize the various properties of interest jointly using a multi-objective acquisition function, such as the expected hypervolume improvement (EHVI), this approach ...

The penicillin-binding proteins: structure and role in peptidoglycan biosynthesis.

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2008
Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) have been scrutinized for over 40 years. Recent structural information on PBPs together with the ongoing long-term biochemical experimental investigations, and results from more recent techniques such as protein ...

Three innovations of next-generation antibiotics: evolvability, specificity, and non-immunogenicity [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance is a silent pandemic that is being exacerbated by the uncontrolled use of antibiotics. Since the discovery of penicillin, we have been largely dependent on microbe-derived small molecules to treat bacterial infections. However, the golden era of antibiotics is coming to an end as the emergence and spread of antimicrobial ...

Serendipity in Science [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Serendipity plays an important role in scientific discovery. Indeed, many of the most important breakthroughs, ranging from penicillin to the electric battery, have been made by scientists who were stimulated by a chance exposure to unsought but useful information.

Predicting β-lactam susceptibility from the genome of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other mitis group streptococci

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionFor Streptococcus pneumoniae, β-lactam susceptibility can be predicted from the amino acid sequence of the penicillin-binding proteins PBP1a, PBP2b, and PBP2x.

Convection shapes the trade-off between antibiotic efficacy and the selection for resistance in spatial gradients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Since penicillin was discovered about 90 years ago, we have become used to using drugs to eradicate unwanted pathogenic cells. However, using drugs to kill bacteria, viruses or cancer cells has the serious side effect of selecting for mutant types that survive the drug attack.

Complete Resolution of Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis Secondary to Maternal Syphilis Infection

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2023
Maternal syphilis infection is a common infectious cause of nonimmune hydrops fetalis. Generally, hydrops fetalis is equated with poor prognoses in affected pregnancies.
