Reversing Antibiotic Resistance: Strategies From Adjuvants to Innovative Therapeutics

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Molecular reversal strategies against antibiotic resistance act through three mechanisms: inhibiting resistance gene function, blocking horizontal gene transfer, and modulating host defense. Emerging technologies, such as CRISPR‐Cas gene editing, photodynamic therapy, nanotechnology, and ecological competition, further strengthen these approaches ...

Investigating the Effect of Xylitol on ompK36 Overexpression, Increased Meropenem Susceptibility, and Antibiofilm Activity in a Carbapenem‐Resistant Clinical Strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Carbapenem‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant public health threat due to limited therapeutic options. This study investigated the potential of xylitol, a sugar alcohol, to enhance meropenem activity and combat biofilms in a clinical carbapenem‐resistant K. pneumoniae strain (Kp5) and a standard susceptible strain (K. pneumoniae subsp.

A Review of β‐Lactamase Inhibitors in Clinical Use and Development: Mechanisms, Spectrum, and Therapeutic Applications

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
β‐Lactam antibiotics have long served as a cornerstone for treating bacterial infections. However, their widespread and often indiscriminate use has fueled the emergence of multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative pathogens, primarily through the production and dissemination of β‐lactamase enzymes.

Various Bacillus and Paenibacillus Spp. Isolated From Soil Produce Compounds With Potent Antimicrobial Activity Against Clinically Relevant Pathogens

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study identified soil‐derived Bacillus and Paenibacillus strains with broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity, including 97% inhibition of CREs by Paenibacillus profundus. Genome mining revealed biosynthetic gene clusters (NRPSs, PKSs, RiPPs) linked to antimicrobial production, highlighting their potential in combating antibiotic resistance. Created

Mechanistic basis for inhibition of the extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase GES‐1 by enmetazobactam and tazobactam

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 22, Page 3284-3300, November 2025.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation

Rapid prediction of carbapenemases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by imipenem/relebactam and MALDI-TOF MS

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major nosocomial pathogen commonly involved in multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections that are very difficult to treat. Imipenem/relebactam is a new carbapenem/β-lactamase inhibitor combination with robust activity against P ...

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.

An efficient and practical approach to synthesis of relebactam

Synthetic Communications
A novel and practical seven-step synthesis of relebactam has been developed, starting from (2 R,5S)-5-((benzyloxy)amino)piperidine-2-carboxylic acid, achieving an overall yield of 42.27% with high HPLC purity (99.27%). This approach offers an efficient synthesis of the key diazabicyclooctane (DBO) core, while also demonstrating cost-effectiveness and ...
