Long-term effects of penicillin resistance and fitness cost on pneumococcal transmission dynamics in a developed setting [PDF]
Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2016 Background: The increasing prevalence of penicillin non-susceptible pneumococci (PNSP) throughout the world threatens successful treatment of infections caused by this important bacterial pathogen. The rate at which PNSP clones spread in the community is

Association between treatment failure in patients with early syphilis and penicillin resistance-related gene mutations of Treponema pallidum: Protocol for a multicentre nested case–control study [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 BackgroundThe widespread occurrence of syphilis remains a global public health problem. Although penicillin has been recommended as the first-line therapy for syphilis for more than 70 years, treatment failure occurs in 10–20% of patients with early ...

Penicillin Resistance of Nonvaccine Type Pneumococcus before and after PCV13 Introduction, United States [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 Introduction of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the United States was not associated with a significant change in prevalence of penicillin resistance in nonvaccine type serotypes because of the variable success of highly resistant serotypes ...

Analysis of Whole-Genome Sequences for the Prediction of Penicillin Resistance and β-Lactamase Activity in
mSystems, 2018 Penicillin (PEN) is a low-cost option for anthrax treatment, but naturally occurring resistance has been reported. β-Lactamase expression (bla1, bla2) in Bacillus anthracis is regulated by a sigma factor (SigP) and its cognate anti-sigma factor (RsiP ...

Restricted Sequence Variation in
mSphere, 2020 A recent clinical report has linked Streptococcus pyogenes β-lactam antibiotic resistance to mutation in the penicillin binding protein (PBP) PBP2x. To determine whether this is an isolated case or reflects a broader prevalence of mutations that might ...
