The addition of avibactam renders piperacillin an effective treatment for Mycobacterium abscessus infection in an in vivo model

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
Treating M. abscessus infection is challenging due to the potent β-lactamase BlaMab (Beta-lactamase of M. abscessus ). Avibactam is a non-β-lactam, β-lactamase inhibitor shown to inhibit BlaMab.

The porin and the permeating antibiotic: A selective diffusion barrier in gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

, 2008
Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for a large proportion of antibiotic resistant bacterial diseases. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that comprises an outer membrane and an inner membrane that delimit the periplasm.

Outcomes of a Routine Screening Protocol to Prevent Metamycoplasma and Ureaplasma Infection in Lung Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study analyzed outcomes of an early Mollicute (Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp.) screening protocol using BAL PCR with preemptive treatment and ammonia monitoring in lung transplant recipients. This appears to be a practical and reasonably effective approach for preventing early Mollicute infection and hyperammonemia syndrome.

ARC in Critical Ill OLT Recipients: True Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Impact on Early Aggressive PK/PD Target Non‐Attainment of CI Beta‐Lactam Therapy for Posttransplant Gram‐Negative Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Augmented renal clearance (ARC) represents a quite prevalent condition among critical orthotopic liver transplant recipients (23.2%). ARC is associated with different demographics and clinical features and significantly affects the attainment of aggressive beta‐lactams pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets despite the administration of standard ...

Serious Bacterial Infections in Hospitalized Neonates in Eastern Ethiopia: Investigating the Emerging Pathogen Pantoea dispersa Compared With Klebsiella pneumoniae

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low‐income countries. We describe the aetiology and risk factors for neonatal bacteraemia and in‐hospital mortality in eastern Ethiopia, focusing on Pantoea dispersa, a rarely studied pathogen, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
