Extended-spectrum β-lactamases, transferable quinolone resistance, and virulotyping in extra-intestinal E. coli in Uruguay [PDF]
Introduction: To characterize extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in Escherichia coli isolates obtained from extra-intestinal samples in three Uruguayan hospitals.

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health issue caused by antibiotic overuse and misuse. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) has been increasingly endorsed worldwide, but its effect has been studied scarcely in urologic settings. A before-after study

The phenazine pyocyanin is a terminal signalling factor in the quorum sensing network of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Certain members of the fluorescent pseudomonads produce and secrete phenazines. These heterocyclic, redox-active compounds are toxic to competing organisms, and the cause of these antibiotic effects has been the focus of intense research efforts.

Transferable Mechanisms of Quinolone Resistance from 1998 Onward
While the description of resistance to quinolones is almost as old as these antimicrobial agents themselves, transferable mechanisms of quinolone resistance (TMQR) remained absent from the scenario for more than 36 years, appearing first as sporadic ...

Development of the quinolones [PDF]
Since their discovery in the early 1960s, the quinolone group of antibacterials has generated considerable clinical and scientific interest. Nalidixic acid, the first quinolone to be developed, was obtained as an impurity during the manufacture of quinine.

Photosensitizer Repositioning Affords an Enantiocomplementary Enzyme for [2 + 2]‐Cycloadditions
In this study, we capitalize on the versatility offered by genetic code expansion to develop a proficient photoenzyme for [2 + 2]‐cycloadditions that is enantiocomplementary to our recently developed photoenzyme EnT1.3. By repositioning the genetically programmed benzophenone photosensitizer and subsequent directed evolution, we have developed an ...

Assessment of the genotoxicity of quinolone and fluoroquinolones contaminated soil with the Vicia faba micronucleus test [PDF]
The genotoxicity of quinolone and fluroquinolones was assessed using the micronucleus (MN) test on Viciafaba roots by direct contact exposure to a solid matrix.

Antibiotic resistance in the environment, with particular reference to MRSA [PDF]
The introduction of β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) in the 1940s and 1950s probably represents the most dramatic event in the battle against infection in human medicine.

Meningococcal Quinolone Resistance Originated from Several Commensal Neisseria Species
Quinolone resistance is increasing in Neisseria meningitidis, with its prevalence in China being high (>70%), but its origin remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the donors of mutation-harboring gyrA alleles in N. meningitidis.
