Simeprevir restores the anti-Staphylococcus activity of polymyxins
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection poses a severe threat to global public health due to its high mortality. Currently, polymyxins are mainly used for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial-related infection, while exhibiting ...

Polymyxins resistance : an overview of molecular mechanisms and genetic determinants [PDF]
Emergence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is a majorworldwide public health issue. During the past decades, the misuse/overuse of antibiotics accelerated the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, especially in multidrug-resistant

Review of the international consensus guidelines for the optimal use of the polymyxins [PDF]
Polymyxins are often the only agents that remain in vitro active against extensively resistant bacterial pathogens. However, the use of polymyxins is compromised by the number of unresolved issues, including the technical aspects of antimicrobial ...

Gram-positive bacteria do not produce lipopolysaccharide as a cell wall component. As such, the polymyxin class of antibiotics, which exert bactericidal activity against Gram-negative pathogens, are ineffective against Gram-positive bacteria.

Polymyxins: “Last Resort” for MDR and/or XDR Gram-Negative Infections
Polymyxins were used for the management of gram-negative infections in clinical practice science1940s. Parenteral administration waned in the seventies owing to polymyxins nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Because of the lack of treatment choices for MDR

Adipocyte‐Derived Leptolin Enhances Energy Expenditure and Prevents Obesity
We identified a novel adipokine, which we named leptolin. In humans, leptolin levels in white adipose tissue were positively correlated with exercise and negatively associated with body mass index. We observed elevated leptolin in serum from athletes and lower leptolin in serum from obese individuals.
