The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1610-1627, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Metagenomics Reveals Microbial Community Shifts Associated With Contrasting Anthropogenic Impacts in Freshwater Sources of A Coastal Protected Area in Southeastern Brazil

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
Metagenomics revealed distinct anthropogenic signatures in the microbiome of freshwater sources on Marambaia Island, supported by the Anthropogenic Impact Index (AII). Impacted sites showed lower microbial diversity, enrichment of fecal‐associated taxa, and 14 antimicrobial resistance genes, whereas conductivity, salinity, and turbidity explained 88.1%

Occurrence and characterization of quinolone resistant Escherichia coli from Norwegian turkey meat and complete sequence of an IncX1 plasmid encoding qnrS1.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) is frequent among Escherichia coli from various food products and animals in several countries. The objective of this study was to characterize quinolone resistant E.

Prevalence and Genomic Characterization of mcr‐Positive Enterobacteriaceae in Retail Meat in Thailand Following the Colistin Ban

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 402-415, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of mcr‐positive Enterobacteriaceae in retail meat in Thailand following the national ban on prophylactic colistin use in food producing animals. A total of 152 meat samples (103 chicken and 49 pork) were collected from supermarkets and open markets between July and September ...

High heterogeneity of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates recovered from livestock and food in Germany

, 2020
Introduction: Resistance to quinolones can be chromosomally encoded or plasmid-mediated (PMQR). One PMQR mechanism is mediated by Qnr proteins. The horizontal gene transfer of this plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance increases the threat of fallible ...

Chlorpromazine inhibits the plasmid-mediated oqxAB multidrug efflux pump in Escherichia coli isolates of Egyptian patients with utis

BMC Microbiology
Over the past ten years, the prevalence of the OqxAB efflux pump, a plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinant, has increased among Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates.

Two Novel 1,4‐Naphthoquinone Derivatives as Potent Agents Against Multidrug‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pathogenic Gram‐Positive Bacteria

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Drug‐resistant bacteria such as Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Quinolone‐resistant S. aureus (QRSA), are a growing problem, creating a need for the development of novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, we designed and synthesized two novel 1,4‐naphthoquinone derivatives, LHN‐1034 and LHN‐1035, and evaluated their ...

Mechanisms of Reduced Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli Isolates from Canadian Hospitals

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2012
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants play a role in the increasing resistance to fluoroquinolones among Escherichia coli isolates in Canadian hospitals, and to determine the mechanisms of reduced ...
